Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me
It’s hard to believe that there are still things my readers/followers don’t know about me considering how often I ‘confess’ my failings on my blog and social media. I’ve had to dig deep for these. Please keep your giggles to yourselves, folks.
- I thought the annual eye test at elementary school was a test that I had to pass. I, therefore, memorized the entire eye chart. It wasn’t until second grade and a more than a few stitches before a teacher realized I couldn’t see sh$t.
- Despite carrying a weapon every single day for five years while I was a military police officer in the Army, I’ve actually only ‘passed’ the range once – in basic training. Otherwise, I had ‘helpers’ who shot at my target.
- I’ve broken the same little toe at least three times. Two of those times were in the exact same manner – because I apparently don’t learn from my mistakes. I was a lifeguard at the YMCA when I was working on my undergrad. We had a chair where we sat when adults were swimming lanes. I ran into that flipping chair and stubbed my toe so hard I broke it – twice!
- I’m a social introvert. Yes, that really exists. People always assume – probably because I have a big mouth – that I’m a social butterfly. In reality, I’m cringing inside and wondering when it’s okay to pull out my kindle.
- I once had a bout of dysentery so bad that it’s put me off tropical fruit forever. I have no idea if its psychological or not but whenever I try to eat pineapple or mango (or any other tropical fruit, all of which I freaking LOVE), my insides rebel in the most horrid of manners.

Lol
You may not see well, but at least you’re smart.
And I’m glad you had helpers to hit the target.
And I feel sorry for your toe.
Thanks for making me laugh. Hope you have a great day.
Thanks for stopping by! Good luck with the blitz today.
Thank you.
Breaking the little toe is actually not that bad. I broke my big toe along with two of the others while on a military training exercise. The big toe broke in a bad way, but the military doesn’t believe the lowly soldiers have a right to get that fixed. They actually told me that! My big toe is still crooked and won’t bend properly. It turned completely black for months after I ran a marathon!
Dang!
Well, smart enough to pass the test, but it may have been wise to get glasses a little earlier. 🤓 May have saved yourself a few stitches.
True but I didn’t realize what I was seeing (or not seeing as the case may be) wasn’t what everyone else saw. Getting glasses as a small child was a revelation!
I can imagine. I know one of my friend’s son was amazed by trees because before glasses he couldn’t tell they had leaves.
