11 Things about me...

I was tagged in the blogging "chain letter" that's going around by the always amazing Rach at Life Ever Since.  I am so excited she tagged me.  Basically I am going to answer 11 questions she provided and then tag 11 other bloggers to do the same.  Here goes!

1.  If you had to leave the U.S. and move to another country, where would you move to and why?

This is tough, because I've never been to another country.  But I think I'd say Switzerland.  I hear they have really good maternity leave.  And even though we're done having kids, I feel like a country with good maternity leave has to be good for families. Right?

2.  Are you an adventurous eater?  I.e. do you like trying new foods?

Sort of.  I won't eat anything raw and I don't like many vegetables.  I also don't think anything where I don't know what something is is worth trying.

3.  What’s your favorite animal?

Probably a giraffe.  And this is recent.  They are always out when we go to the zoo, and the kids get so excited to see them eating. Plus, they are pretty cool.

4.  What was your first job?

Well I started babysitting at 13, but my first real, take-taxes-out-of-my-paycheck job was at a medical office where I did filing.  I believe I made $4.25 an hour.

5.  Would you renew your vows complete with another wedding?

I would renew our vows, but not a complete wedding. I'd have a small ceremony in Hawaii, with just our very closest friends and family.

6.  What one talent do you wish you had?

I wish I could sing.

7.  Do you let your kids jump on the bed?

Yes.  Absolutely.

8.  What’s your favorite salad dressing?

A really good ceasar or the balsamic vinegarette from Panera.

9.  Do you recycle?

Yes -- but just cans/bottles/plastic.  We don't have that much paper and when we do it almost always gets garbage on it somehow.

10.  What do you like on your ice cream?

I hope I don't lose any friends over this - I don't like ice cream. 

11.  Are you left or right handed?

Right. John desperately wants PJ to be left handed because left handed pitchers are very much sought after in the major leagues.
