Things we don't know about you
Rose:
Mind the typos cause I'm here on my iPhone whose autocorrect likes to fail.
1. I have a brother who was closer in age to our mom than me. (They were 17 years apart, him and I are 18 years apart).
2. When Nick used to talk about being a part Blackfoot Indian I was like 15 and suddenly terrified we were related cause my great grandma is a full blooded one lol.
3. I ran into Aaron Carter once when I was about 13 years old at a Wendy's, he was supposed to do a signing for Oh Aaron nearby. He was nice but looking back I should've asked for a pic since he was still normal back then lol.
4. When I was a kid I had a lazy tongue and a lot of speech issues, I'm over them now but people always think I have an East Coast accent.
5. Related to #4, the school I was at thought I might be slow cause of my issues. So I was given a bunch of IQ tests, turned out I was gifted lol. I would've skipped several grades but my mom thought it'd be bad for me socially as I'd already started a year early. So I got put in advanced classes and such but the schools never knew how to handle me, I was given books to read constantly so I wouldn't talk to everyone around me when I finished my work lol.
6. I hate raw tomatoes, hate them.
7. I love music across decades. Total oldies nerd. After BSB and Christina Aguilera my fave singers are Journey, Beatles, and Beach Boys. Lately my jam has been Bus Stop by The Hollies.
8. I will shamelessly watch practically anything Shane West acts in lol.
9. My favorite video game series is Final Fantasy, VIII specifically. Love Squall and Rinoa.
10. I love the Flowers In The Attic book shamelessly cause it's so depraved. The books the ghostwriter did in VC Andrews name after she died I can't stand lol.
11. My first cd ever was a Spice Girls album
12. I'm the youngest of five but the age gaps are big (closest in age being six years older) so sometimes it was like having multiple sets of parents.

4. When I was a child I used to snore so bad/loud that I wasn't able to go to sleepovers at people's houses and when I did their parents would usually comment in shock about the noise. It was because I had a very small opening in my throat. I now am unable to snore because when my tonsils and adenoids were removed the doctor also removed my uvula (the hangy thing at the back of your throat) so that I would be able to sleep like a normal person.

My one year old also snores very loud and has been a mouth breather ever since he was born, his mouth are always hanging open since he breathes through the mouth. X-ray confirmed that he has big adenoids and Doctor said it has to be removed. But he was only 10 months old when diagnosed, right now 2 months after we are still debating if we should do the surgery or not.

Wow, it seems like I have to introduce a lot of you to the wonderful world of roasted veggies. Carrots, broccoli and tomatoes taste AWESOME roasted. lol
A few more facts from me after reading some of yours and getting ideas. lol
All music edition.
~ My very first concert was Duran Duran and the very first CD I bought was Kilroy was Here by Styx. I was a brief metal head because my junior high best friend LOVED old school heavy metal.
~ The only two groups I would pay more than $50 to see in concert are BSB and Duran Duran (Actually I might even lower that to $20 lol)
~ I still do not have a copy of IAWLT.
~ I haven't heard any of the boys solo CD's except for Nick's. Maybe I've heard a snippet of a song here or there in passing but I'm not really interested in any of them solo and if they broke up I probably wouldn't be interested in following any of them afterwards.
~ The only memorabilia I own from BSB is a program from their Never Gone Tour. Although I did purchase three golf gloves at Brian's HHC event. I sent the one Kevin signed to Maria, Mersey got the one AJ signed and I kept Brian's since it was his event.
~ Even though I am a music teacher, I really don't listen to a whole lot of music. When I get home I prefer the TV as background noise or just peace and quiet.
~ With the exception of BSB, I really do not like any boybands. AT ALL lol
~ I am a terrible guitar player, like really awful. lmao
~ I taught myself how to play the piano.
~ Kind of like Saka's cheerleading squad, all throughout high school I belonged to a Madrigal Group that frequently competed against college groups and won. It just kind of happened that in our little group about half of us went on to be music majors. lol
~ I was involved in SO many musical activities in HS that by my senior year, I didn't even have a lunch break. I actually had to ask for permission to eat lunch during my music theory class.

Speaking from someone who was plagued with that issue, I would have loved it if my parents had done it earlier. I was a teenager when I had it done and by that point I was sick more than I was healthy, I constantly had throat and severe ear infections and had difficulty breathing because my tonsils and adenoids had grown so big. It's definitely scary to think of a baby having surgery but at least he won't remember the recovery.
It definitely does require some adjustments, though. In my case had to change the way I chew bc your uvula prevents you from choking by letting you know when something is in your throat, I don't have that so I have to be careful. But Saka-Steph can attest to the fact that I no longer snore! Lol
