Ten Things You May Not Know About Me

Okay, Since my dear friend, Tina, tagged me a few days ago, I need to list ten facts or oddities about myself.

Here we go....

1) I almost joined the Marines when I graduated from high school. The only thing that stopped me was when we (the US) sent Marines into Granada at that same time. It occurred to me that I may actually get killed if I joined the Marines - ah, duh???

2) I don't spend money very easily. I call it thrifty, some call it a tightwad. Chris has to kick me out the door to go buy clothes for myself. I NEVER pay full price for clothes - EVER!

3) I have clothes from 1987 that I still wear.

4) I have old clothes of Tina's that she gave me in college and I still love to wear. This is particularly strange since Tina is about six inches shorter than me and many pound lighter. My dad refers to her as "Little Tina."

5) I secretly wish I was a ballerina or a figure skater, but I have the flexibility of an oak tree.

6) I got an F in my Fluid Dynamics class in college. When I retook the class I got an A, so on my transcript it says "A"

7) I know how to twirl a baton and I still go out in the yard and do it on occasion. Okay, that's really embarrassing!

8) My husband says I have obsessive compulsive "hoarding" habits (I think he's exaggerating!). Just because I have about 40 bread bags in my cupboard - you never know when you might need one of those things...

9) Before we left for Ethiopia, I was doing about 150 sit-ups four times a week. Since we have come home I have done a grand total of ZERO sit-ups.

10) I never babysat when I was a teenager - not once. I did de-tassel corn one summer and I delivered newspaper flyers for some little company and I worked and McDonald's for four years. At one point in college I had three jobs at one time and worked during my Psychology 1001 course. I only showed up to the class on test days.

Okay, now I get to tag people, but most of my friends and family don't have their own blogs. If you don't blog you can post your list in my comments or email me and I will post them here.

I tag my dear hubby, Evan, Nina, Molly, Kim F., Jean S., Mom, Dad, Maggie, Deb, Jim & Kathy. I know that's more than ten, but half of these people won't even do this :)
