Yet Another Tag...

Are you sick of reading all my tags? Well too bad. It's because there's nothing fun or exciting going on my life that I can take pictures and post about. However, this tag looked kind of fun to do, so thanks Raquel for tagging me.

Here are the rules: Once you've been tagged, write down 10 random and weird things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end you choose 5 people to be tagged.

1. Live with Regis & Kelly called me once to answer their Travel Trivia question...and I wasn't home!!! Jon was awaken at 5 in the morning by the show's producer because my name had been drawn and I was out of town visiting my sister. He asked if they could just call me at another number and they said no, it had to be the number I put on the entry form. I totally missed my big chance and at the time they were giving away cars!!!

2. I tried to bring my parakeet back from the dead once. I was a little girl and had watched a movie (Hello Again) where this lady brought back her sister from the dead. So I went out to my bird's grave site and did the little chant that the lady did in the movie and then waited for my bird to arise from the dead. Yeah..it didn't work. But then my mom took me out for ice cream because she felt sorry for her weird delusional little girl .

3. When I was 1-years old, a firecracker spun out of control and landed beside me catching my diaper on fire. I had a scar on my butt/upper thigh for most of my life. It's faded now though.

4. When I was a little girl, I used to pray to grow up to be just like Sandy on Grease. Not the good Sandy, but the black leather, curly haired, lots of make-up Sandy (minus the cigarette) and I imagined myself singing and dancing around with my boyfriend just like she did. Seriously...maybe I really was weird and delusional...

5. My family had chickens and pigs and a rooster when I was younger. The rooster always chased me around the yard pecking at my legs. He didn't do this to anyone else in the family. To this day, I still keep my distance from roosters.

6. When I was 5 or 6, my dad brought home some stranded ducks because they didn't have a mom and he thought we could take care of them. I became their momma! They followed me around and I took good care of them and then I taught them to fly and they flew away.

(Yes, this is me)

Side Note: I was only a farm girl until age 9 or so, then we moved to the "city" (aka: Pocatello)

7. In grade school this girl was really mean to me. My dad taught me how to punch and told me to take her down if she was bothering me (yeah, we handle our problems well). So the moment came...I clenched my fist and punched straight forward to let her have it, however, I overestimated my distance from her and my fist stopped three inches short of her. It was so embarrassing! The next week we became great friends and all was well, but note to self: If punching, make sure you are close enough to the target.

8. I was on the swim team when I was a kid and kicked butt. It's one of my regrets that I didn't continue with it.

9. America's Funniest Home Videos cracks me up every time. I try to have mature humor, but show me a clip of someone getting hurt, falling down or getting spit on by a camel and I'll laugh every time.

10. I went sky diving in the college years and it was the most amazing, exhilarating feeling you'll ever get. If I wasn't a mom, I'd do it again for sure.




Now I tag: Bonnie, Ariann, Kyle, Shantay, and Shelby
