1. My brother-in-law used to call me Wednesday (from the Adam's Family) because I use to wear all black.

2.I was a huge tomboy until I was about 17. I didn't start to wear make-up until the middle of my Junior year in High School.

3. Not only did I use to wear all black, I have had my hair dyed with every color except pink and yellow. (yes I've had it green and blue).

4. When I was 12, I had a pig that I named sausage. (funny, that's what he ended up being)

5. When I was younger, I got stung by a bee and that night I had a hallucination about this clown that was in my wall that wanted me to come in and play with him. Every time I got really sick, I had the exact same hallucination. Hence the reason I am afraid of clowns and bees.

6. I was told by my guy friends in high school that I didn't get asked out more because I was too intimidating.

7. Inappropriate things tend to just come out of my mouth at times and I blame it on my turrets.

8. I have gotten pulled over for barking at a cop. Hence the inappropriate things that come out of my mouth. Did I mention that I have turrets?

9. I have had my ears pierced 16 times that I can remember and have had my tongue pierced too.

10. I have always been boy crazy. When I was in kindergarten my teacher called my mom because I was kissing boys at recess. I never grew out of this. If you were to read all my old journals, they were all about boys. My kids are going to think that the only thing I knew about is boys.

11. An old boyfriend and I got pulled over once and the cop found a dried dandelion in the car and accused us of having weed. ("Well in theory officer, you are partially correct because technically a dandelion is a weed.") What an idiot!

12. I used to have the worst luck with animals. I had to have a kitten put to sleep just two days after buying it because it had some sort of disease, I had a fish jump out of it's fish bowl and get baked to the surface of my oven, and I had a bird that got eaten by a dog just minutes after I brought it home from the pet store.

13. I have moved well over 35 times in my life. 7 times alone just since I've been married. I have lived in Washington, Alaska, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Kentucky. Because of this reason, it is hard for me to stay in one place for too long without getting the itch to move.

14. If I could travel anywhere, it would be to Italy and if I could talk my hubby to living somewhere new I would try hard to convince him that Italy was the place for us.

15. Parents always thought that I was a bad influence on their kids (which sometimes I admit I was). I had one mom that would tell me to go home as soon as I would walk through her front door.

16. I have become extremely girly the older I get. Maybe I'm just making up for lost time through all the years I was a tomboy but I can't get enough of dressing up, wearing cute jewelry and make-up. I even have pink in my wardrobe. (Shocking I know).

17. My husband says I was a "dirty hippie" when he met me. He says I dressed frumpy and had really ugly long straight hair that I parted right down the middle. He can't believe how much I’ve changed from then to now.

18. If there was somewhere where I could take an adult gymnastics class, I would take it!

19. I used to really hate playing basketball until the coach my 7th grade year begged and convinced me to try-out for the team. Now it is one of my favorite sports to play and watch. I can't get enough of it.

20. I played the clarinet for 7 years, the violin for one, and taught myself how to play the oboe, the bassoon and the piano. I can read music, but I suck at site reading, but can play a lot by ear.

21. Most of the time I have more patience with my two kids then I do my husband. I guess it's because I think that my kids don't really know better but my husband does.

22. My first date was horrid! My date had his ex-girlfriend drive us to the truck and tractor pull (which was so not up my alley) and while we were there, my date almost go arrested for fighting. Worst date ever!

23. I got into a fight with a boy my eighth grade year. He gave me a fat lip, and I gave him a black eye. Did I mention I made him cry too? (I really don't understand why guys found me intimidating).

24. I can write poetry. I write best when I'm really mad or angry, but not all of my poems are anger poems.

25. I hope to one day start a cake decorating business. I have to get the guts first to just get out there and do it. I enjoy making cakes and love to see the end result of something that I've created.
