Friday Fun Facts

#1. I am officially registered for the 3day Breast cancer walk. 60 miles in 3 days.
I'm excited about doing it and have my head prepared,
but my backside is already complaining.

#2. I am the oldest child of 7 children. 4 original, 2 step and 1 1/2.
When I tell people that, eyes go WIDE open!


#3. I get emails from a group called FreeCycle, its an organization that
offers things to others for free, sometimes freezers, dressers, tables
and you can also post what you're looking for. Last week, someone offered a box
of socks and underwear. I can't make this stuff up.


#4. My first car was a Ford LTD, 1982, it was metallic brown and had 4 doors.
It was a sweet ride.


#5. When Daniel was little he became a huge nail biter(he gets that from me) He would bite them so short they would hurt and he would cry. One day I told him that if he kept doing it, I would take his fingers away(we already know of a good child therapist..don't worry..)
it actually made him stop biting. A couple months ago we were at the store in the check out line,
an older gentleman in front of us had only 3 fingers on his hand. Daniel asked him "did your mommy take your fingers away for biting your nails?"
I'm SO up for The Mom of the Year award.


#5. I am addicted to Diet Coke. The best is from McDonalds. My friend Jen says they must put crack in it. There's something different about the taste from McD's than anywhere else. I order a large Diet Coke with heavy ice. Drives my father-in-law nuts"why would you pay for a cup of ice that holds so little soda" yeah..not sure why..but it tastes so good.
And I hate hate hate when you go out to eat, ask the waitress if they have diet coke and they
offer Diet Pepsi like its the same thing. IT IS NOT THE SAME THING!


#6. I hate it when I tell people I scrapbook, and they tell me- "I don't know how you have time for that.; I'm just WAY to busy taking care of my children and my home." Are you implying that my house is dirty and my children aren't as important?" Those are the thoughts that go through my head.


#7. We have a pug. A black one. She's so ugly she's cute. My husband is a really big guy and this pug has decided he's her person. Wherever you see him walk, there is always a 4lb pug following right at his heels. Its kind of funny to watch.


#8. I am deathly deathly afraid of snakes. When I see one on TV, I almost hyperventilate.
They aren't natural, they can move and have no legs..


#9. When I was little, I thought I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. That would be fantastic, except the sight of blood makes me really sick.
I'm sure that would go over great in the E.R.

#10. At our house, one night during the weekend is family movie night. We pop popcorn, curl up with blankets and watch something. Each week I ask what everyone wants to watch and each week I'm bombarded with my 4yr old BEGGING to watch Pirates of The Caribbean I want to tell him- you got scared on the little ride at Disney world..I can't imagine the movie!!!
We've made a deal, when he turns 5, he can watch it.(i swear, everyday he asks when his birthday is.)
