That's nuts! Do you cover your ears and scream "turn it off! Turn it off!"

LOL! You're right...I didn't know most of those things about you. Fun list!

andrea said...

I knew lots of those things ;0)...I am pretty sure I even have pictures to back it up!

My favorite thing is that you don't like to look at condiments on a plate. That made me laugh out loud. I think you forgot the one about watching the Lawrence Welk show, LOL.

I thought of one more thing...I bet most people don't know that you stole a running car from a driveway, LOL (10 points if you remember the car's name!)

And I still have a weird, sinking feeling whenever I hear an ice cream truck. I think that must have come from you :0)

Interesting things. I fall asleep in the movies too! Even if it's one Paul picks and there are explosions and gunfire.

Wow! I loved reading this about you. I am amazed and so happy that you had your two boys! You have been through a lot to get them here!

We are a lot alike with the journals, I have a notebook in almost everyroom of the house! I can't throw them away because there is too much random info in them!!

And your arms - WOW! I had to go back and look at a picture of you. That is kind of cool!

"I can’t stick to a rigid schedule- it stresses me out"... try as I might, I cannot either! Perhaps it is the creative free spirit in us.
