6 things the blogging world doesn't know about me

I have been tagged by one of my Twitter Moms friends, cgccoach, thus I'm next in this Twitter game of tag.
1) I have a tattoo that I designed. However the tattoo artist was really negative and complained about her employer while inking me. I plan to get another one in honor of my daughter. I like getting tattoos, it feels like a really deep tissue massage, to me.
2) At 15 I was hit by a Ford Ranger and slid on my face for 20 feet. I did not break a bone nor did I need plastic surgery. I believe in miracles, that was a HUGE miracle, from the Universe, that I didn't die. In junior high I was bit by an attack dog. Had he not opened his mouth before moving back I would have lost my entire thigh muscle. I believe in miracles!
3) My sister, when I was young, befriended a man from Muscat, Oman. He became part of our family, basically. (Oman is a country to the east of Saudi Arabia) When I was in college he flew me over to "visit." I arrived and a day later found out he planned to keep me in Oman and marry me. He offered to buy me a Porsche, any jewelry I wanted, and had found me a job working with some high end Arab horse breeder. My family made up a BIG lie and convinced him to send me home, never to return. So true it's hard to believe huh?
4) I hate wadded up straw wrappers. They make me physically ill. Why you ask? It reminds me of disgusting spit wads that got aimed at me in school.
5) I started college in London, England majoring in Fashion Design. I finished under graduate with a double major in Equestrian Science and Psychology. I know A LOT about horses. Pretty much what I can not do is surgery, birth a foal, and trim their feet. I have trained horses, bred them, taught riding lessons for the abled and disabled, and the first year I showed horses I was the National Champion in the style of riding I did for the age group I was in. I do not show now and plan to keep it that way. I do continue to own a horse and I am in love with fashion, not that you can tell by my everyday wear of T-shirts and jeans.
6) I am a counselor and Life Coach but I am actually very shy in person and prefer the company of a few friends, family, and my pets.
*Bonus* 7) I met my husband on Yahoo Personals. I had a list of 20 things I wanted in the ideal man, he had 19. I'm still waiting for him to get butt implants!
Now, if you’ve been tagged with the meme game from twitter, you must post 6 things no one knows about you on your BLOG. Then you have to tag 6 more people. (don’t forget to let them know they’ve been tagged.) Leave me a message letting me know that you’ve accepted the tag. Let me know when you’ve posted your list and make sure there’s a link back to my BLOG. Have fun!!! Leave me a comment accepting the tag along with your BLOG so I can add a link. (I don't know, yet, 6 other Twitter Moms who haven't been tagged!)
