Meme

Mom has asked me to do this 8 new things about me meme. Here are the rules. In the 8 facts about yourself, you share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. Then at the end you tag at least 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going.

I really am going to be struggling to come up with 8 interesting facts about me! So I apologize in advance if these are super lame!

1) I am an only child. My older sister, Jennifer, is from my mom's first marriage. My brother & sister, Laura and Charles, are from my mom's third marriage. My sisters, Megan & Amanda, are from my dad's second marriage. My brother, Matthew, is from my step-mom's first marriage.

2) My middle, Margarete, name comes from my Great Omi Tandler.

3) I can do a great E.T. impersonation.

4) My nickname in grade school was White Fang due to my horrible teeth; and to fix this I wore head gear and braces for 4 years.

5) I used to be so thin that I begged my mother to buy me weight gainer!

6) My brother, Charlie, couldn't say my name correctly, so he called me 'Caca' which translates to "poop" or "sh*t" in spanish. And to make things worse, at the time we lived in an town that had a very large hispanic population--so the usage of this nickname in public always evoked a lot of laughter. My sister now calls me Caca Leija...yea, we are a loving family.

7) When I was in Kindergarten a cotton hull got stuck in my eye and then my eye grew around it. I had to have it removed and wear a white eye patch for a while. (Geez no wonder I had such horrible self esteem growing up! Caca, White Fang, Eye Patches, Head Gear and tall and skinny)

8) Me and Lil Kim have the same Birthday. (told you to not be disappointed if these were lame!)

I do not have many blogging friends, and the ones I do have do not check here regularly. So I am tagging Mom, Jenn, Lou, Steven & Damon.

Update: a certain reader would like to know what a 'cotton hull' is, so I have posted a photo. It is the brown part:
