Blogging Challenge in The day to day

I saw this on another person’s blog and decided to use it. Maybe it will help me write more! I am already 5 days behind so I have a lot to catch up on. So here we go:

Day 1 - My blog’s name. Well ........ all came about in college. I honestly don’t know how I came up with it but there it is. Not really an exciting story.

Day 2 - 20 Facts about me

1. I am a true redhead. I am pasty white and will burn like a lobster in the sun and then turn pasty white again!

2. I am married to a wonderful man for almost 8 years now. We’ve been together for almost 12.

3. I have a son who is 7 and my daughter is forever 13 months old.

4. My daughter was diagnosed with cancer when she was just 5 months old. We are coming up on the 1 year anniversary of her passing.

5. Because of my daughter’s diagnosis I have become an advocate for childhood cancer research. I currently volunteer for the non-profit organization CureSearch.

6. I have been to the Philippines.

7. I can drive a stick shift.

8. I love to laugh.

9. Reading is a passion of mine. Everything from best sellers to harlequin romance novels. I usually finish a book a day.

10. I am currently reading the Harry Potter series to my son at bedtime every night. We’re about to start book #4.

11. I had back surgery when I was 17 years old.

12. My back surgery caused me to miss my senior prom and graduation.

13. I have a fear of being paralyzed.

14. I believe in mediums and connecting with the other side.

15. I don’t follow any particular sports team. Although if I have to pick one it would be the Kentucky Wildcats.

16. I play Diablo 3.

17. I have only ever owned Nintendo gaming consoles.

18. I have three bracelets about childhood cancer that I haven’t taken off since the day I got them. (Exception was my best friend’s wedding!)

19. I also have a necklace with my daughter’s hand print on it that I haven’t taken off since I got it.

20. Thinking about 20 facts about yourself is hard!

Day 3 - One of my favorite quotes is:
Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.
(Here’s my 20th fact! In college I had a notebook filled with quotes. My roommate and I also covered our dorm room door in quotes)

Day 4 - My dream job. That’s a hard one. There’s so many things I’d like to do. If I could become a social worker for advocacy so that I could work with childhood cancer organizations that would be awesome. On the other end of the spectrum I would love to work at Disney World as one of the characters! I just love that place.

Day 5 - My proudest moment has got to be the day I had both of my children. Nothing beats that.

Okay! I am all caught up with the challenge. Looking forward to writing again tomorrow!
