Here is something I wrote but never posted.... I am behind- we just got back from PA and then celebrated our 4th anniversary... So in the meantime read up on some stupid stuff about me!
So Karen posted on her blog- 33 random things about herself which I found very interesting to read! So I thought I'd give it a go...
1. I consider myself a superior driver. Really. I think there are only about 3 people (aside from myself.. my brother and mother are NOT included on this... that I even feel comfortable riding in the car with. I think I get this driving superiority complex from my Dad.
2. I am finding its true that you actaully do turn into your parents when you become one. There are things I do that I SWORE I would never do. The other day I spotted a brand new looking little tykes slide (these things retail for $40) sitting with someones trash... well yea... I pulled over and put it in my car. (Trey LOVES it and it was practically brand new) I still remember my mother doing things like this and I remember vividly being so embarassed.
3. The time my Dad saw me driving back onto my high school campus... I really had skipped a class. Sorry Dad. But really... I did nothing but drive to the McDonalds and back to school. I still was never brave enough to go do something stupid. Just wanted some french fries and a coke with some stupid boy I liked- dumb.
4. I am addicted to running (yes- still running at 8 months prego). Even 2 years ago I thought runners were crazy... but I get it now. I even love the new New Balance commercials about running and subscribe to Runners magazine. I ran my first half marathon in 2 hours 7 minutes am training for my first full marathon in Nov 09' (gotta have Shelby first) - I'd really like to travel to some different cities and run marathons- like Philly and maybe even Honolulu!
5. I love McDonalds and have since I was a little kid. I have always gotten the same thing ever since I can remeber. McNuggets, Fries, and a Coke. Heck I have 2 cats and I named them - Nugget and Fry. If it wouldn't make me fat and poor I could eat every meal there.
6. I love the summer time in Georgia. I think its some weird sick thing- but I love walking outside when its 95 and the humidty is out of control... I don't know why I love it.. I just do.
7. I have moved more times in my lifetime than I can count on both hands and feet... and will probably move another 2 or 3 times in the next 2 years. I hate packing!
8. I think Dr. Laura is one awesome lady. Most people roll thier eyes... but really listen to the woman-she makes alot of sense.
9. I had a Geo Storm and I lowered it and put rims on it. Shhh... don't tell anyone! LOL! I had a fancy paint job on it, a loud exhaust, and even a stupid sticker that said "girlie girl racing". My friends and I were even a part of a low rider car club and we traveled to car shows... Chip will NEVER let me forget that car. I sure wish he would.
10. I am going to the New Kids On The Block concert in October. I was so excited when I heard they were doing a reunion tour I screamed. I was crazy about them when I was young (I guess I still am). I had a different NKOTB t-shirt for each day of the week and enough buttons to cover my pants and posters to cover my walls.
11. I've "rolled" (tp'ed or whatever you may have called it) someones yard before... and had it done to mine (well my parents house). Stupid yes.. but one of those silly memories that still makes me laugh still. Going to Kroger late and buying nothing but a giant box of the cheapest toilet paper- LOL! We were so stupid.
12. One of my first jobs was working at Stone Mountain Park. I loved it. I got paid $4.25/hour and sold cotton candy and popcorn the whole summer I was 16. Aside from working at 96Rock it was the best job I ever had.
13. I didn't learn to type until I got to college! Sad but true- but back when I was in high school this was not a skill you had to have. Makes me feel old to think about that... If the teacher wanted typed papers they would set a class day to go to the computer lab. But the reason I learned to type so fast my freshman year of college- AOL instant messenger- and this was in the day of dial up... S...L...O...W!
14. I tear up almost everytime I hear the National Anthem. I guess its no secret if you know me- but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Country.
15. I wish I were a Southerner- LOL! I've heard the saying "I may not have been born here- but I got here as quickly as I could" well that is me. Not saying anything bad about Boston (I love my family and the Sox) but there is just something about the South and the heritage that is just so neat... This is home to me and always will be.
16. I am clueless about ebay... I have an account and even a paypal account... but always have to call my Mom when I want to bid on something. I have a ton of stuff to sell- but that'll have to wait for another time.
17. I was not allowed to get my ears pierced until I was 13... I don't know why... Just what my Mom said.
18. When I have nightmares they usually are about rats, snakes, or spiders- I hate them.
19. Speaking of rats- I hung a bird feeder out on our porch a few years back so the cats could watch the birds and was amazed at how quickly they were eating the bird seed. Discovered one night- big ole' NASTY city rat eating the seed- no more bird feeder!
20. I love Coke (Coca-Cola). I used to drink a few cans a day until 3 years ago. I quit. I even had headaches from lack of Coke- crazy! Now I have 1 per week and I always get it at- yep you guessed it- McDonalds. I think they have the best Coke.
21. Pink is becoming my new favorite color. When I was a kid it was purple, then itwas blue when I was in college... now pink. I am tempted to buy any random thing that is pink.
22. I am so cheap. Ok maybe not on the level of my mother or Clark Howard but I HATE to spend money and shop. I do love new clothes (come on I am woman)... and high heels... Chip even encourages me to JUST BUY IT!
23. I am a member of the NRA. Some people are shocked to learn this but to others- its no surprise.
24. I once burned the top of my foot on my way into work because I had the heat up so high in my car on the way.
25. I am terrible at math.

Wow, Lu, I learned some new things about you. A lowered Geo Storm, huh?!
I didn't know about the typing or eBay ... or the driving thing. ha!
I should be insulted but Kev & I are tough. We have to be, we are the ones with the parking lot fender benders. At least WE fess up about ours right away. You, on the other hand blamed some imaginary person who marred the bumper of my Nissan Stanza at Stone Mountain....and didn't fess up until YEARS -- that's right, YEARS later!
