10 Random Facts About Me

Emily inspired me to blog 10 random facts about myself...
so here it goes:

1. I was runner up in the Little Miss Pageant of Lafayette
when I was in first grade. That silly girl that beat me was
wearing a corny red jumper and I was in a beautiful
hand made long dress with a hoop under it!
I rode on a corvette in the parade for that one!

2. John was the only guy I ever dated and it's all been uphill ever since.

3. I am an only child and wanted possibly one child when I grew up.

4. I write poetry. When I was in 4th grade I won a county-wide
poetry contest and went to the Long Center to see it presented.
It was about my Great Aunt Bea. I could perform it with great
exaggeration and expression. shocker, huh? ha!!!!

5. My cuz' Kristy is a sister to me- she's 4 years younger than
me and when she was in first grade and played softball, I, the
older and wiser "big sis" tried to carefully pitch a softball to
her in the backyard. CRACK!
She nailed that ball so hard that I didn't even know what
had hit me. My glasses flew off and I was left with a black
eye for quite awhile. I stayed home from school the next
day cause it was picture day :) She may be like a toothpick
now, but let me tell you when she was a kid she
was a brute and could pack a hard blow

6. I could spend hours looking through my own hair for white hairs.
Also, I love it when Anna lets me look in her hair for little curly
hairs that "don't belong". She let's me pull em out and i love it!

7. Last year I picked out my own eye glasses for the first time
since 3rd grade. I used to be so paranoyed about what my mom
thought of my glasses that she had to come with me to pick
em out. Then, I got bold and went by myself and decided to
go wild. The ones I have now (they have a turquiouse back side)
My mom recently said "Oh my! It looks like they were just
dipped in paint"

8. I love to play canasta (a card game), Eurcher and Spades.
I played cards everyday after school with my great Aunt Bea
for years!!!!!! She was a poor loser, so sometimes I had to let her win.

9. Until I began going to Elston, I NEVER wanted people to
get plugged in to my old church.

10. I have 2 cats - Olly (Abby's) and Kally (Anna's). I'm currently
jealous of Olly, the big orange one, who is having too intimate of
a relationship with John. I don't like the way they look at each
other and caress one another. Ok.. ok... I'm a bit over the top
here.! It's a stupid cat for goodness sake! teeeeehheeeeeee!
