My Random 25

I was "tagged" on Facebook a while back and am just now getting around to posting these.

1. I don't normally like change with anything, but I like to change houses. Odd huh? Especially since that's a pretty big change. I like the "starting over in a new place feel". I think it would be fun to "flip" a house, but I don't think I'm brave enough to actually try it.

2. When David and I were dating, we would often take one day trips down to the beach. On one trip, he was so tired I offered to drive so he could nap. While I was driving I became extremely sleepy and saw a black (shadow like) hand with it's pointer finger waving at me to continue driving. It scared me so bad I had to wake David up and make him drive the rest of the way.

3. I am addicted to Dt. Dr. Pepper...yummy! :)

4. Allison and I are 3 minutes apart. I was born first so technically I am the oldest! LOL! She was breech and apparently I kicked her a lot in the womb because she came out black and blue. I know...awwwww. But, we were the first set of twins on my mom's side in 71 years.

5. I once went on a date with someone who got mad because I didn't want to kiss him. Oh well. He was a player.

6. I don't care for dogs very much, but we bought a dog three years ago anyway. He's now my nephew...He loves Allison better.

7. I love listening to music. If you see me driving down the road and I'm singing, well then just let me sing!! If I'm not singing, then that means the kids are watching a movie. Gotta love those built in DVD players!

8. When I was little, I wanted to be a fireman.

9. I'm not very "high maintenance". I rarely go shopping for myself or have my nails done or basically do anything for myself. I would rather buy my kids clothes or do something to make them happy.

10. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I am an Auburn fan because of a boy that I liked in fourth grade. He was for Auburn and I thought he would like me better if I switched from Alabama to Auburn....yeah, well.....He never liked me that way , but I have LOVED AUBURN ever since!!

11. I love to go fishing, but rarely ever get the chance. I went deep sea fishing one time for my birthday, thanks to Faith, and loved it!! I would love to do it again sometime.

12. I used to tell Allison that she was adopted.

13. I don't remember a lot about my childhood. Allison can tell you mi-nute details about things at a particular time, but I can't. I am good with recent details.

14. I would rather clean than cook.

15. I just discovered last year that I don't think outside of the box. I guess that makes me pretty square or just plain air heady.

16. I have had my cat, Ittie-bittie, for 13-14 years.

17. My prom dress came unhooked and fell down while getting into my date's car at my Jr. Prom. I don't think he saw my ta-ta's. LOL! ;)

18. I love Laffy-Taffy and almost anything chocolate. I don't care for dark chocolate though.

19. I was so excited when I realized that David was proposing to me that I put my foot in my mouth and blurted out "Are you going to get down on one knee?" Of course he did!!

20. I thought I was fat in high school.

21. My two favorite places to eat is Outback and Ichiban!

22. I'm really shy and sometimes that comes off as me being snobby or stuck up , but I'm really not that way.

23. I can't stand it when people keep their blinds closed all day long. Why have windows if you don't want to see and enjoy the outside?

24. The only Christmas I remember growing up as a child was when we lived in Mobile and we had bright orange carpet, but that was the year I got my care bear and red and white checkered baby doll stroller. I loved them so much and still have both of them now.

25. When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade, I was on the phone with my "boyfriend" and wasn't paying attention and stepped onto the corner edge of a metal toolbox shelf that my dad had left out and almost cut one of my toes off. I had 8 stitches. Then in jr high, I broke my foot playing soccer in P.E. I had a bright pink cast that went GREAT with my green, gold and white cheerleading uniform. I wasn't allowed to get white because it would get too dirty. Ugh!

Hi Amanda,
I was just on Rachel's blog,
"Grasping For Objectivity",(that's how I found you) and wanted to tell you I liked your list.

I love the Chris Rice song and am gonna go dig my cassette tape of it out from wherever I put it.
I will be praying for the family you just wrote about and for you to.

And your thing on the list about why do some people keep the blinds closed during the day, okay, that bothers me too! I always think something illegal is going on in there!

God bless,
Elaine
(I work at Ann Taylor and that's how I know Rachel!)
