1. I’ve never broken a bone. (knock wood)

2. I won second place in my elementary school’s spelling bee when I was in 3rd or 4th grade.

3. I have ran into a volleyball net. Most embarrassing moment of my 7th grade career.

4. I met my husband when we worked together at a credit union in Tampa, Florida.

5. I’ve been deaf in my right ear since birth. I was completely blessed as my mother had the German measles when she was in her first trimester. Usually babies have severe birth defects when that happens.

6. I am still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

7. I was born to a teenage momma. She was 16.

8. My grandmother and I have a birthmark almost in the same spot on our right calf.

9. I have an addiction to Starbuck’s mocha frappuccinos. You know the ones in a bottle you can buy at the store.

10. My grandmother raised two wild birds. A mourning dove named June and a mocking bird named Teet. When Teet was released back into the wild, he would come back and sing to us whenever we were sitting out in the screened-in porch.

11. I secretly want to move back to Florida.

12. I really really really wanted to be a Mouseketeer. The was during the New Mickey Mouse Club was on air (the one Lisa Welchel was a part of) in the 1970’s.

13. My first concert was Shaun Cassidy. Da doo run run run…da doo run run.

14. I love boiled peanuts.

15. I can talk like Donald Duck.

16. I also think I do a killer Mae West impression.

17. English was my favorite subject in school. Most hated: Math.

18. I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was in high school.

19. I took tap/ballet, baton & piano lessons as a child. Yeah I was ADD before anyone knew what it was.

20. I was kind of a tomboy, following my step brother around. I climbed trees, helped build forts, played tag football and ran around barefoot a lot.

21. I love being out on a boat, sailing through open water.

22. I will never go white water rafting again after being sucked out of my two-man boat into a rapid.

23. The last cat we had was named Carly until we found out she was actually a he. It was promptly changed to Harley.

24. I was teased immensely for being very fair skinned. I was nicknamed Casper (not one of my most liked memories). I grew up in Florida. Yeah, doesn’t go together well…..can you say LOBSTAH??!!

25. I love ferrets. I’ve owned three: Holly, Bear & Punkie have all passed over the Rainbow Bridge. 🙂 As cute as they are, I cannot bring myself to own anymore.
