fifteen

Amy over at Where Rubber Meets Road tagged me for a meme.

The rules are:

1) Link to the person who tagged you.
2) Post the rules on your blog
3) Write 15 random things about yourself (see below).
4) Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them.
5) Let each person know they have been tagged and leave
a comment on their blog.
6) Let the tagger know when your entry has been posted.

In the spirit of rebelliousness, I am NOT going to tag people at the end of my post, but I'll be glad to entertain you with 15 more random things about me.

1. I get these little shivers every now and then that make my body shake for about a second. Its really funny and catches people off guard when it happens. And I don't need to be cold for them to come.

2. I am very stubborn when it comes to taking medication or treating illnesses and just about have to be on my deathbed before I will take something.



3. I do not enjoy cleaning my house, but if I start to clean, something happens to me and I want to continue. I guess I like the feeling of clean.

4. I will make a to-do list just so I can cross things off. I love crossing things off.

5. I once forgot the entire verse to a song I was singing at church. Oops. If you must know it was Twila Paris' "The Warrior Is a Child".

6. I have never tried pickles and ice cream and have never known anyone else who has either.

7. I have been hit by a softball twice, by the same batter each time, during one game of softball. I should not have been pitching.

8. My first kiss was at 18 years old.

9. The second guy I kissed was Mr. Baseball. We're still kissing to this day.

10. I would rather be cold than hot and sweaty.

11. My mom made me start wearing a bra when I was in the 5th grade. On the FIRST day of school a guy made fun of me because of it and so for the next few weeks (during the Aug/Sept heat) I would wear a sweatshirt over my shirt. On the sweatshirt was written..."I don't want to grow up".

Cruel irony.

12. Every winter since I have been married, I have gotten a little rash under my wedding rings. I think it comes from washing my hands so often and not getting my fingers completely dry before putting my rings back on.



13. I am currently re-reading Twilight to erase the terrible memories (except for Rob Pattinson) I have of watching it in the theatre.

14. My favorite restaurant as a child was McDonald's (whose isn't), and every time we would travel to my grandparent's house, I would always "be hungry" on the way there just so I could get a cheeseburger from the coveted golden arches.



15. I wore braces twice and had major jaw surgery when I was 17.

(cue Looney Tunes music) Aah-bee-dee, aah-bee-dee...That's All Folks!

7 coins in my pocket:

You are so funny and this just makes me like you even more, my friend.
I think I had that little shiver for a moment at the mere mention of pickles and ice cream. Who eats that, willingly? Ugh!!!
I too had braces twice, first to fix and second cause I did not wear the retainer. The second time was the worst, don't you agree?! Hated it!

Nice to know these things. You never know when we will need it to use against you. LOL

I love reading random things about other people! So cool that your hubby is only the second person you've ever kissed!

I had braces twice too. No jaw surgery though. I also like the list to cross things off on. I have one now for my christmas party (which by the way are you coming to?).

I get those weird chills, too. They still surprise my husband after 9 years and he looks at me like I'm a freak.

Hey I had to come and tell you that between you and Heather I am loving this give-away. You guys are really wanting this little gift. But I am sad to say that it is not a trip to come and visit me. Sorry!!! :( But it is something that I would like so that makes it really wonderful, or at least I think so. Plus, those that are already my bloggy friends get an additional name slip put in the pot. So I think that you are up to about 4-5 enteries, maybe more so that is good. I do take bribes in case you were wondering. No, I am just kidding!!!:>

I currently have that same rash under my rings and I took off my engagement one to make them a little looser on my finger!

I loved McDonald's so much that it was my very first job at the age of 16.

I wasn't kissed til I was 20. My hubbie was my third kiss(er.) The original guy had a goatee and scratched my face up...stupid college boys.

You wanted to know all that stuff, right?
