20 interesting things about me...meme.

Beak Knits tagged me for this meme. Since I haven't done the 100 things about me, this will give you a little idea.

1. I have two young boys...15 months apart...this is the reason I knit so much. It keeps me sane.
2. I firmly believe that pregnancy eats away part of your memory...this could be a scientific fact, I don't know.
3. My parents had 10 children, I am number 7.
4. We were very fortunate to have a summer home while growing up. From 3:30 p.m. on the last day of school to Labour Day, we would stay there...and of course work a summer job.
5. How do you get 10 children summer jobs, open an Ice Cream store for them to work in. I believe that is when I started struggling with my weight.
6. My first job in the Ice Cream store was scrubbing every black and white tile with an SOS pad every morning. I earned 2 dollars for this. Eventually I learned that no one would notice if I only did the white tiles.
7. In the fall my husband and I will be married for 8 years.
8. He is Italian. I am not. This makes things challenging at times.
9. I love doing laundry. The crisp whites are my favourite. Borax people, add the borax!
10. I especially love folding laundry. My OCD really comes into play here. It must be done a certain way...I am the only one my house that folds the laundry.
11. I find ironing just as satisfying.
12. I live for "good things".
13. My instrument of choice as a child was the piano. I studied up to grade eight Royal Conservatory...and eventually taught lessons.
14. My husband bought me a piano for Christmas 3 1/2 years ago. I found out I was pregnant that Christmas and due to nausea and exhaustion, I hardly touched the piano. I don't think I could actually play anything anymore...refer to #2. My new years resolution will be to start playing again.
15. I love to cook.
16. I worked in retail management for 10 years and Christmas was not my favourite time of year. I now love the holiday.
17. I was never a collector...last year one of my sisters and I went went bidding crazy on ebay for these and another sister forced me to start collecting these. I love them!
18. I received many awards in highschool including a perfect attendance in grade 10. That's right, every single day.
19. I graduated and went on to university to study visual arts and art history. Figuring I would go no where with a degree in visual arts, I dropped out after my second year and started working in a home decor store.
20. Now, I am a stay at home mother...and knitter extraordinaire.
