That silly facebook game....

Recently, people all over Facebook are playing a fun game where

you are given a number and then you have to share that number of

facts about yourself people probably don't know.  I couldn't figure out

how to get a number...

....and I wanted to play too!

So, what's a girl to do? Well make one up herself, of course.  

I assigned myself a number, made my list and shared.

Then I realized....

Why not do something similar here?

....and then ask my readers to share a few fun facts about themselves too.

Please leave a comment so I don't feel too ridiculous....

seriously, please!

***********

OK, so here I go, and a few of these are repeats from my personal Facebook page.

1.  I bit my nails into nubs until 3 years ago. I stopped cold turkey!

2.  I moved to Florida at 20 with my best friend. We drove our old cars, had CB radio's, and all our belongings in the backseat.  On the first night of driving, we lost each other in   Little Rock, AR. Using our CB radio's we found each other in the pitch black darkness!  That was the beginning of a GREAT adventure!

3.  In 7th grade I tried to play on a kids ball team. I struck out on the first try, started to cry and quit the team because I was embarrassed. What a wimp, right?

4. In 6th grade I broke my leg on my 3rd ski lesson. I had a thigh high cast for 2 months. On my first day back to school, my crutch slipped in spilled gravy at lunch, I fell backwards and hit my head on a lunch table and got sent home.

5. I was a self conscious, insecure child. See #3 & 4.

6. Our family had a foster child named Rosemary in the late 70's in Lacey, WA.

She was adopted to a family in Seattle prior to our family moving out of state. 

Its my hearts desire to find her one day!

7. I got stuck in the middle of a pond on a pony when I was 7 while visiting my grandparents farm.

8.  My absolute favorite flower is the Lilac. One year my friend Susan brought

over a GIANT bouquet from her yard in an old enamel pitcher.

It was one of my favorite gifts of all time.

9.  I prefer a big, juicy steak over chocolate any day of the week.

10.  In high school, I was a "mannequin model" for Casual Corner. I had to stand 

frozen in the front window for about 30 minutes at a time without moving.

It was fun to startle people walking by when I moved.

I didn't get paid, but got a great discount on the clothes!

11.  I still have my braces wrapped in tissue in my keepsake box.

12.  When I was 16 my dad and his friend (my boss) convinced me to participate in

a Filipino beauty pageant. The lovely ladies dressed me up in their

gorgeous authentic costumes. I was the only blond and placed second.

I think they were as confused as I was how that happened.

I'm still not sure how I qualified, but it was a great experience. I have pictures
in my keepsake box.

13.  I need to clean out my keepsake box. See #11 & 12

14.  I played Mary in the Christmas play when I was in 3rd grade...but

had to leave because I got a HUGE sliver in my butt while scooting across the bleachers.

See #5.

15. I LOVE carnival rides. ESPECIALLY the tilt-a-whirl! My laughter travels
for miles. Just ask my embarrassed children.

Just like you, I have other crazy stories I randomly like to share. If  you'd like 

to read more about me, click on the "Story of Me" tab. You never know

what I will decide to write about!

And PLEASE leave me a comment with a story about YOU!
