Seven Random Things About Me

I was tagged by Karen to list seven random things about me so here goes...not sure if they're interesting or not...but they are random!

1. I've held many jobs in my life...including a waitress, bank teller, travel agent (I even went to a special school for this!), Mary Kay consultant, secretary (and I'm terrible at that) and now a Meeting Planner...finally I've found my career place in this world!

2. I break bones on things with wheels...I broke my arm on rollerskates in my house when I was 12. I was on my way outside when my wheels got caught in this woven rug at my mom's house. I broke my leg in 9th grade trying to show off my skateboarding skills...I'm no good!

3. I didn't graduate college until I was 27...not because it took me 10 years to complete college, but because I went for a year after highschool, quit b/c I had no clue what I wanted to study, and then decided at 24 that a degree was necessary if I ever wanted to be successful. So I went back, paid for 2/3 of it on my own and graduated right before my 27th bday. It was a proud moment!

4. I was born on King Kameameah's bday...He was the King of Hawaii when I was born, my grandparents were in Hawaii visiting at the time, and wanted my parents to name me Kameameah and call me Kami. THANK GOD my mom had more sense than that!

5. I conceived my twins naturally...which I find is unusual these days with all of the fertility drugs in our world now. Not that I'm against them - I'm so happy they've found a way for people who can't conceive to get pregnant - but multiples are much more common now and conceiving them "natural" is less and less common.

6. My grandmother, mother and I graduated from the same highschool...yes, that's totally true. Not just one of my grandmother's, but both of them graduated from the same highschool as me...we all attended in a different building, but it was always Lackey Highschool!

7. I didn't get my driver's license when I turned 16...even though I could, I opted not to because 4 days before my 16th bday my girlfriend wrecked the car I was in, throwing me through the windshield and scaring the CRAP out of me. I was too scared to drive after that so I waited until 3 1/2 months after I turned 16 to finally take the leap!

Now it's my job to tag someone, so I pick Ruhiyyih!
