Alopecia???

No picture to accompany this post.... My little Emmy was crafting tonight - with scissors - and she suddenly disappeared beneath our center island in the kitchen - with the scissors. When I walked around the island to see what she was doing, she jumped and said, "Oh my goodness! My hair is falling out!" Sure enough, there was a pile of 2 - 3 inch hair lying on my kitchen floor. Thankfully, the "alopecia" only affected an area of her scalp that isn't very noticable. Needless to stay, little Emma-Kate will no longer be crafting with scissors as it tends to aggrevate severe and sudden cases of alopecia in 4 year old blonde girls!

I've been tagged

Yeah! I do have at least two friends (ok - one is a cousin) and someone finally tagged me! I am no longer the smelly kid that no one wants to play with! Thanks Mindy and Gina for making me feel loved!!

The rules are:
*Link to the person who tagged you
*Post the rules on your blog
*Write six random things about yourself
*Tag six-ish people at the end of your post
*Let each person know he/she has been tagged
*Let the tagger know when your entry is

1. I have always wanted to be an actor. I have never told anyone that before. I actually got picked to be an extra on Touched By An Angel once but I chickened out on the way there and ended up going to my moms instead.

2. I love the smell of cottonwood trees. Everytime I smell them, it makes me think of Lagoon for some reason.

3. I have this sick need to constantly re-arrange my furniture. I do it almost weekly. It drives my family nuts. Sometimes I do it late at night when I cant sleep and when they wake up in the middle of the night for a drink, they trip over furniture that wasnt there when they went to bed.

4. I have two reoccuring dreams.. one is that I can fly. I literally flap my arms and fly. It's the best feeling. The second is that my entire graduating class didnt actually graduate even though we were given our diplomas. We had to stay another year. Weird huh?

5. I love the 80's! 80's movies and 80's music! Can't we just go back???

6. I miss Declo. I miss the slowness of life there. I miss NOT having to commute in traffic for almost three hours a day. I miss volleyball games for my kids and all the things I thought I hated growing up. Who knew?
