7 things about me

I have been tagged and asked to write 7 things that you may not know about me. I think some people may know some of these things, but I will try to come up with some that you may not all know.

1. I once was vacuuming under my dresser in my bedroom and we had a vacuum that the brushes still spun, even when you were using the attachments. Well, I had really long hair and it got caught and sucked up into the vacuum. It pulled my head right up to the vacuum and my arm wasn't long enough to reach the off switch. I had to yell above the vacuum noise for my mom to come and rescue me....she turned it off, but not before she stood in the doorway and laughed at me.

2. In high school, I had a longtime boyfriend, Dustin. Well, I had to go to my uncle's wedding in another town and I guess I caught the eye of the bride's brother. He asked my grandma for my phone number and he called one day and we talked. I was nice to him since we lived a couple of hours apart and I would probably never see him again. Well, Dustin, (my boyfriend) was over at my house playing games with my entire family when their was a knock at the door. It was a flower delivery to me. My mom looked at Dustin and said, Dustin, that was so sweet of you!" He looked appalled and proclaimed that they weren't from him. This other guy sent me a box of the most beautiful long red stem roses and my boyfriend was there when I got them. It was pretty funny.

3. My sophomore year of high school, my sister and I organized a student walk out and about 90% of the student body participated. We were upset about the school board voting to not have a football team. I remember that I was one of the first people to run out on the school lawn and I was just so afraid that their would not be anyone behind me. The walkout was a success and the school board had an emergency meeting and took another vote....we got football!

4. I have two different size feet. I probably have a size and a half difference. I just always buy for the big foot.

5. Once when I was a little girl, my sister and I were staying at my grandmother's house and her car was dirty. She took it to a drive through car wash and I guess she is a afriad of them, so she payed the attendent to drive the car through for her. Well, Tiffany and I wanted to go through since we thought it was fun. In this day in age you would never let some stranger alone with your kids, but it was diffrent then. Anyway, as we were going through, water started gushing in through our window. My sister and I were screaming and the attendent thought we were just scared and it took him a while to realize what was going on. Once he did, he was screaming at us to roll up the window, but we couldn't because it was one of those old metal roll up ones and it was all wet. The poor guy had to reach over us and roll up the window with two screaming girls under him. I don't know what Grandma paid him, but it wasn't enough.

6. I love to read. When I find a book I like, it takes me to another world and I have a really hard time getting anything else done. One of the last book series that I read was called Twilight and I really became addicted. I read the first book and then had the second and third books coming in the mail and I was on a waiting list at the library. Well, I just couldn't wait that long and illegally downloaded it to my computer and read it on my computer.

7. I played with Barbies way longer than was socially acceptable. I got to play longer because I had younger sisters. I probably shouldn't have played as long as I did because I used to make them do naughty things that I learned on my favorite soap opera, Days of Our Lives. I wonder what ever happened to Bo and Hope.
