25 Random things about me:

1) 3rd grade teacher (Mrs. Richardson) was my favorite teacher and my inspiration to become a teacher.

2) Want to be on a game show. Either Wheel of Fortune with my younger brother or Family Feud with all 3 of my brothers and my dad.

3) Like my chocolate COLD! Any peanut butter cups or Little Debbie snacks that are brought into the house are kept in the refrigerator!

4) Piano playing and journaling are tremendous therapy for me.

5) I am highly competitive when it comes to playing cards, especially if it’s Spades or UNO.

6) My dad still lives in the house we moved into when I was in Kindergarten.

7) Favorite movie is “A Walk to Remember” (minus the first 20 minutes or so). “Steel Magnolias” is a close second.

8) Would LOVE to spend a year on the road in an RV homeschooling my kids.

9) Want to learn how to sew. Nothing elaborate, just simple stuff.

10) Really miss being a Creative Memories Consultant.

11) LOVE taking pictures.

12) Used to think I hated reading. Thankfully I’ve realized otherwise.

13) I have never colored my hair. (Beginning to show a little gray so that might change soon… haven’t decided yet.)

14) Love poetry. Helen Steiner Rice and Susan Polis Shultz are 2 of my favorites.

15) Cheddar’s is my favorite restaurant. (Love the Chicken Tender Appetizer and their onion rings)

16) Feel I have a “knack” for finding songs to express what I typically cannot express on my own.

17) Play the piano mostly “by ear.”

18) At almost 40 years of age, I am learning (attempting to learn) Spanish.

19) Became best friends with a new student in 6th grade. We had all but one class together. I had band… she had art. 30 years later we are still friends!

20) Show Choir made it all the way to state my senior year and lost 1st place by one tenth of a point to a local high school.

21) I envy people with pretty teeth.

22) I enjoy singing duets or in small groups. Don’t like to sing alone, enjoy small groups because you can really harmonize.

23) Enjoy fast rides, and it’s even ok if they go upside down or backwards, but can’t handle the “dropping” sensation like on “the Cliffhanger” at Six Flags.

24) Would like to be in a play at our local theater someday.

25) Seriously considered becoming a nanny.
