So, anyone on Facebook knows there's this "25 Random things about me" tag-thing floating around and I've lost count as to how many people have tagged me.
I wasn't going to do it--I'm not caving under the peer pressure! I did that during high school and now I'm a Mormon with a Mormon husband and Mormon kids!!
And then I decided--okay fine, I'll do it--but I'll post it on my blog and then I'll quit feeling guilty for not updating in such a long time. So there--I win! (sort of...)
I'm not tagging anyone, so relax--and if you don't care to know 25 random things about me I wont hold it against you--and quit reading now cause here it comes:
1. As a kid I would sneek into the fridge, open up the tub of butter and grab a handful and eat it like candy...it grosses me out just to think about it now.
2. I've had grey hair since I was 15--a lot of it!
3. I can't stand the sight, and smell of mayo--never have--miracle whip is included in this category no matter what my mother-in-law says!
4. Both of my kids weighed over 10 pounds at birth.
5. I almost drowned in a lake when I was 8 yrs old--it was a 15 yr old boy that jumped in to save me.
6. I was immediately put into swim lessons after #5 and got all the way to sinchronized swimming and quit.
7. I got a really bad hair cut in the 7th grade from my cosmotologist student cousin and when I started school at West everyone thought I was a BOY! Hence my promise to never have short hair again.
8. I've been inside the BYU bell tower--upstairs where all the magic happens--wait, that sounds dirty--where they play the giant bells.
9. I've met Vlade Divac, and Anthony Edwards (Goose in Top Gun) at LAX.
10. My most pirzed possession while at BYU was my autographed poster of Michael McLean.
11. I've never broken a bone.
12. I didn't get my driver's license until I was 25.
13. I won the Homemaking award in middle school for my excellent skills in sewing and cooking.
14. My first time flying we went from Tijuana, Mexico to Los Angeles (45 minute flight) and I swear to this day that I saw the Hawaiian Islands.
15. I am constantly losing a) my keys b) my phone c) my ATM card d) my driver's license--I've come to believe that I need to lo-jack everything in my life--including my head.
16. I LOVE watching Golden Girls and I Love Lucy--can watch them all day without complaint.
17. I dislike one-syllable names--Chad, Sue, Steve, Fred--so one dimensional and blah (no offense to my one-syllable named friends)
18. I met my husband online and got engaged 2 weeks after our first date.
19. My first wedding band had to be sawed off in the ER after I got it stuck on my finger and it started turning blue--my supervisor at NuSkin had to drive me to the hospital and everyone in the ER came to see who fat girl with the wedding band stuck on her finger was--luckily that first band was purchased on eBay for minimal money...phew!
20. I once split my pants while at work (NuSkin, again) and had to have someone drive me home to change.
21. My dream job would be working in a library surrounded by books.
22. I love the smell of new books and often snuck into the stock room at Barnes and Noble (while employed there, of course) and I would just smell the pages of the new books waiting to be shelved.
23. I played the trombone for about 2 weeks before I realized I couldn't read music and hated the marching.
24. I NEVER snooze my alarm, and am bothered by people who do--just set the alarm for the time you want to get up and then GET UP!!
25. Although I don't drink coffee I love the smell of it and almost always sniff those dispensers in the supermarket aisles with the fresh beans--YUMMY!!!

Oh, my goodness!! You have me crackin' up as usual! You are too funny! Uh...Michael McLean??? Can I ask why that was your fave?? And, I so agree with you on the smell of coffee...I don't drink the stuff, but I love the smell! And, I too have a love for the Golden Girls!! I have gotten my hubby hooked on it too (even though he'll never admit it!)
Hi! I think "where they play the big bells" sounds just as kinky :) Fun to read your list!
Carol, That one about never snoozing reminded me of how you were such a great roommate and you were always so quiet when you got up early to go to work.
The driving one also reminds me of when we would go to the grocery store together and I would ask you to put the cart away while I got the car started. Then I would drive over to pick you up and as you opened the door and were about to get in, I would start driving away and you would run alongside the car telling me to stop so you could get in. Do you remember that? Fun times!
I should of know that you liked new books so much. I remember when you bought a book for a class and you tried to read it in 2 days without opening it far enough to make a crease in it so it would still look new. It was so funny watching you reading a book that was only open about and inch.
I love it Carol. I was laughing through the whole thing. I am glad I finally have your blog address.
Trish
