5 things about you that you haven't shared on FV

[bg]

I saw this thread on another forum I lurk on and found the posts really fun! I don't think there has been a thread like this here...

So please share 5 things about you that you haven't shared on FV before.

1. I met my husband online on yahoo personals (back when they were free)
2. My sense of humor involves changing the copier settings so that all the instructions are in spanish.
3. I immigrated to the U.S. when I was 17
4. Being extremely shy, I am often mistaken to be very snooty.
5. I was almost expelled from my Catholic high school for obtaining 6.75/100 in a biology exam. I still dislike biology.

2. I Love fruit roll-ups.
3. I'm saving up to go to italy for our five year anniversary
4. I like to work puzzles

I'll play

1. I married my dh when I was 16, finished high school, played basketball and was in the marching band.

2. I love to play blackjack.

3. I am a certified scuba diver, have been on a few ocean dives and long to do more.

4. At age 15 I plucked my eyebrows into a very thin, one hair line....they never grew back right (my mother told me so....)

5. I was the first woman in our nearby "city" that was allowed to have a normal delivery (vag.) after a c-section.

Ok, I'm game. Sounds fun.

1. I met my husband at the beauty salon where I work as a cosmetologist. He is 17 years older than I am. My Mom is 17 years older than him.
2. I was born and raised in a small town in Georgia and never left. LOL 41 years!
3. I would like to visit every state in the US. So far I have traveled to California, Texas, Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina. I have quite a few to go!
4. One of my worst qualities is making decisions. I'm always afraid I'm making the wrong one.
5. Everyone tells me I have a pretty smile.... I guess that must be my best feature.

mmmkay...

1) At fourteen and a half years, I've been married to my husband longer than my mother was married my father and her second husband put together. I'm very proud of this, even if my marriage isn't the best it could be.

2) Despite being a dictatorial and speak-your-mind Sagittarius, I'm really quite submissive, very private, and have a tendency to not say much at all. This often gets me in trouble because when I *do* speak up and say something, people tend to mistake my attention to being well-spoken as being arrogant and condescending.

3) I really want a garden. And a yard. And I'd give up body parts to be able to have a clothes line where I could hang my clothes rather than having to use the dryer all the time.

4) There's not a day that goes by that I don't consider putting something large and heavy (sledge hammer tends to be the object of choice) through the tv so that my family will stop watching it. I absolutely hatehatehate having it on for anything beyond the weather section of the news, and only that because I live in Florida and have more than a little interest in the weather.

5) ... uh... I recently started a LiveJournal. ( http://a-simple-wife.livejournal.com ) I'm just not sure what to do with it now, or where I'm going with it.

This is hard, you already know so much about me...

~I once pushed the same girl down a short flight of stairs & into some pricker bushes in grade school because she picked on me. She stopped after the second push.

~I was married for a short time before I married Jack

~I intensely dislike the octagon shape

~I'm very good at finding four leaf clovers

~ At Jacks sisters wedding reception I danced to that stripper dance with the bridegroom not taking clothes off but taughnting him with a boa because the whole roomfull of people (over 100) egged me on. It was halarious.

[halloweenfreak]

oh wow let's see,

1. i always believed that there was someone for everyone, but after meeting my husband i know so. we went to the same college, volunteered at the same handicap summer camp and eventually went to work for the same place before we finally "met" each other. and the first time i saw him i knew he was the one.

2. i too am mistaken as being a snob because im usually very shy. but if you make me mad, its going to be a bad day for the both of us.

3. i like to collect strange things, 1 being charlie brown figures.

4. i like penguins! we're going on a very impromptu trip to sea world the
19th and im very excited about seeing the penguins.

5. i can be very easily amused. the simplist things can amuse/excite me.

Ok - since it is only 5 things..


*I was on the Math Team in high school (and have a plaque to prove it hanging up in my house, next to DH's Math Team plaque)
*Every night whe I come home from work, I open the door and say, "Hey stupids, Mommy's home!" Even though I love my cats, they can be pretty stupid at times, hence the name. A neighbor heard me once and just gave me a strange look.
*I am a certified envelope geek. I know everything from FIM bars to indicias to postal endorsements, paper grades up the wahzoo, the differences between Flexographic, Lithographic, Thermographic, and Offset printing, and if you ever need to know the difference between a Booklet, Catalogue, Coin, Hitchhiker, Bangtail, Remittance, Commercial, Baronial, A-Line, or Guardian style envelope - just ask.
*I like sportscars so much I went to my senior prom in a 1986 Fiero instead of a Limo
*I have a batchelor's degree in Latin and Ancient Greek.

Very interesting stuff here.


Hmmmmmm.......

~I totally need the people from "What Not to Wear" to come to my house- I have the worst wardrobe ever. (Not so much because I actually have terrible fashion sense as much as because I just don't have the money to buy a decent wardrobe. Thank goodness I can wear scrubs to work.)

~I was harrassed and harangued by the coach into joining the school bowling team in junior high. (Even my sister didn't remember this.) I used to have to hide and try to avoid the man until I finally gave in a joined the stinkin' team. I don't like to admit to it these days.

~I went to see Milli Vanilli when I was a kid. It was either the second or third "real" (LOLOLOLOL) concert I went to.

~I am absolutely the WORST housekeeper in existance. I am really, horribly bad at it. It get totally overwhelmed and don't know where to start, so I just don't start anywhere.

~I am a science nut. I'd rather watch science documentaries on TV than just about anything else, and I'd rather read about science than most anything else.

There- are y'all shocked now?

[Kimberlina]

(Ans Sara, I was on the math team in school too, lol. And I despise math now!)

[baxjul]

Lots of good sharing going on here

About me:
1. I love buying scrapbooking stuff but I don't so much like scrapbooking
2. I'm very introverted. My husband is one of the only people that I actually ENJOY being around
3. I'm very perceptive. If I believed in them, I would almost think I was a psychic. I also have a really good memory. Maybe the two are connected?
4. I "think" in words. Really. If you're talking to me I'm "seeing" the words you are saying. I was really old before I realized everyone isn't like this.
5. I listen to my favorite music soundtracks when I'm working and I dance to them, too. Some favorites include anything by Rodgers & Hart, Nat King Cole, or old movie soundtracks, especially musicals.

[voodidit]

This hard, since Kat and my mom will know most of these, but I guess since no one else does..lol.

1. I'd rather watch a sci-fi movie then a chick flick.
2. I had my daughter 10 days before my 17th birthday.
3. I won a FTA scholarship.
4. I talk to my cats and they talk back.
5. I often have dreams that come true.

~I love Charlie Brown (too)! I can watch the movies over and over!

~I married DH while I was in the 11th grade.....19 1/2 years ago.

~I've been pregnant four times, but only have three children. My second pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.

~I have never broke any bones or had any cuts that required stitches.

~I am preparing for a 3 mile run....and I am not usually a runner! I prefer to walk, but I am going to run, more like jog 3 miles. It gets easier every day and I think I may just stick with it!
