25 Random Things

So, I have gotten on facebook. For those of you that don't know (Mom & Dad), its a social networking system via online. Which means that you can see what's going on from day to day in the lives of your friends and sometimes connect with old friends that you haven't seen in a while(like from high school).

On facebook there is a note going around that some friends have written titled 25 Random Things about me. I thought I might give it a shot on my blog(hope I can come up with 25 things, it might just be 12 random thing about me by the end).

1. I was born on a mountain top in Tennessee..? Oh wait, that was Daniel Boone not me. I was born in Coos Bay, Oregon.

2. I used to race cars..? No wait I just drive too fast

3. My first real job with a W-2 and everything was in a lumber mill..? That one is really true, it just didn't last to long. .

4. I play the drums..not so much anymore but I did for a long time.

5. I love my job.....I'm a preschool teacher and if I didn't love it I'd be toast.

6. I have several collections including...Star Wars, baseballs, Nancy Drew books, turtles and playing cards...weird stuff that doesn't really all go together.

7. I LOVE Baseball...if I won the lottery my first summer would be visiting every ball park in the MLB!

8. I cry alot...sometimes if I'm happy, I cry sometimes if I'm sad, I cry sometimes if I watch a hallmark commerical on TV, I cry and sometimes I cry for no reason at all.

9. My first car was a 1970 Chevy Chevelle.....2 door, no AC, black and fast. See #2

10. I had a great childhood....it was like the movie "My Big Fat Greek Weeding" but it would be called "My Big Fat Redneck Family". Not redneck in a bad way, just lots of family all around and a fun night is staying in and listening to old stories about your folks and their childhood.

15. I really wanted to be a writer.

16. I really wanted to be an Olympic Gold Medalist....I have no idea for what but always wanted to stand on the podium and hear the National Anthem (See #8, I'm tearing up thinking about it)

17. I love to try to make Lynn laugh...I like making other people laugh too, but I love to hear Lynn's laugh.

18. I'm really bad at housework...I'll do it when I have to, but try to just step over and ignore it if I can. Sorry Lynn.

19. I had my first ATV at 6 years old and a motorcycle at about 9(See #10).

20. I really didn't think I was going to be able to find so many things.

24. I like growing older and learning more and more things, I just wish my knees could keep up.
