25 Random Things about me

I posted these on Facebook, but this is for those of you who still don't have a Facebook! I tag anyone who wants to do it

1. I have never eaten a McDonalds Hamburger, Hot Dog or bologna

2. My bedroom growing up was "pepto pink” Pink is still one of my favorite colors

3. Mauve is my least favorite color - it makes me want to gag

4. I am not afraid of needles, shots, giving blood - good thing since I had to do fsh shots in the stomach!

5. Girls Camp 1995 5th year hike we went on a 30 mile back pack - on one leg of the hike we swam in a stream and then hung our bras in the tent to dry - well when I woke up there was a BAT hanging in my bra. The men with us had to inspect my bra and then cut the bats teeth out of the lace! I think it was Kristy Kleinman’s Dad and Heather Clove’s Dad?

I broke my arm in the 1st grade having a jump out of the swing contest w/ my brother….I lost …but that’s when I met Greta we both had broken arms – I think hers may have been a wrist

My top 10 things on my ‘bucket list’ are sporting events – I celebrate Super Bowl, Stanley Cup Playoffs and The World Series like holidays!

The remaining 90 have to do with traveling. After Ava’s in college I want to buy a big RV and just drive all over Country.

I used to think my Dad made us go to Disneyland to torture us. We went 1-2 times a year and we wanted to go to Magic Mountain…no such luck.

I like Disneyland now – it’s different when you have kids and you don’t go all of the time.

I broke my leg while volunteering for the Special Olympics Winter Games near Tahoe – WALKING! Then called myself a retard multiple times before I realized where I was.

I had to have said leg operated on – but made the Dr. wait a week because we had a Disneyland Vacation to get to. I spent Disneyland in a wheel chair – not a bad deal through fantasy land.

I sometimes pretend that I don’t speak English to avoid talking to people.

I had crazy anger issues from the ages of , oh….9-17 and I am totally embarrassed to talk to people who knew me then – so yeah this facebook thing is good for me!

I am a good cook and baker – a crappy house keeper

I love helping people who appreciate your time and effort

I love and miss my family – all the immediate and extended and wish for a big holiday dinner

I am deathly afraid of moths and I don’t like butterflies – pretty much anything that jumps or flies I hate.

I wish all of my friends and family would realize that living in Las Vegas stinks and move up to the Greater Carson City, Reno, Sparks area!

I am allergic to Oxy pimple cream – I used it once in high school and I woke up with a swollen face.

Stephanie Englestead and I pierced our belly buttons using ice cubes and diaper pins – then my mom ripped it out New Years Eve 1994! OUCH!

I am so thankful that my horrible taste in men wore off right before I met Don. He is just the perfect Yin to my Yang

I dig old people – I love listening to stories about the good old days

I have donated my hair twice to Locks of Love

I like to sing and wish I could do it better

Take that back! I did not "rip out your belly button ring." I had you take it out and hand it to me.

Erica said...

we obviously remember it differently.

Me said...

I was there, but I am neutral

Erica said...

You weren't there, she did it at Stephanie's house on the way to the dance- you were still too young to go to those dances. But I am so sure that you heard the recap...all night long! hahaha

Lindsey said...

That post was pretty funny, but I especially like the family fued going on in the comments.

Me said...

I was in the Clove's driveway for some kind of smack-down...it wasn't this? I was afraid I might be mingling my memory of being there during a fight & hearing about the belly button ring thing a million times.
I had a belly button ring, too. Did M&D ever know that? I guess not because Mom didn't take mine. (instead Jason got all on my case about morals & virtue & all that, so I took it out on guilt)

Me said...

I love that you have 6, now 7, comments and they are all us besids Linds. heehee

Erica said...

Ah, Stephanie did live next door to the Cloves - so maybe you are right - just wrong drive way. That must have been the same night.
hahaha

Greta said...

I love that we had casts at the same time. Mine was my arm too. Yeah for 1st grade!!

Tara said...

Erica, I thought it was your aunt who ripped it out? I wasn't there but I thought that is what you told me. However, I can't count on my memory!! You probably won't read this anyway, because this fight was over weeks ago :)
