Meme: 25 Things About Me

This is a meme my niece Kristen tagged me with on Facebook. I posted it there, but why waste a good blog post. I like to get plenty of mileage out of my words!

You're supposed to tag 25 people, but I think that's too many. I'll just tag a few:

Carrie at Candid Carrie
Rhea at Texas Word Tangle
Rita at L8dybug Stamper

1. I really LOVE my boys. They all drive me crazy some times, but I really love them. I can't ever die because no one else would love them as much as I do.
2. Seriously afraid of guns and motorcyles. I know 6 people (all men) who've died in motorcycle accidents and almost as many who've been killed or wounded with guns.
3. I've been on two cruises and if this economy ever straightens out I'm going to start saving for another one. I just love them.
4. I have 3 cats and I've had more than 20 cats in my lifetime. Got my first one for my 6th birthday.
5. I have two Tivos and I watch WAAAY to much TV.
6. I love computers and I'm really good at them. I've taught classes off and on for years. I've used Excel since it was invented, literally.
7. I was a pretty good student and I started Community College when I was 15 years old. I was kind of mature though, so no one knew I was 15 and I wasn't about to tell them.
8. Zig Ziglar is my hero! I've got a ton of his books and tapes and I get his newsletter every week.
9. I'm a book worm through and through. Love to read. I have separate sections in my bookshelf for Science Fiction, Romance, Religious, and Self-Improvement books.
10. I don't have any of the "normal" phobias - snakes, spiders, mice are no big deal at all. But put water on my face or show me a razor blade and I freak.
11. I have two different blogs and a website. I spend a LOT of time on the computer, both at work and at home. We have more computers than people at our house. How nerdy is that?
12. Before I got married, I used to go out dancing and drinking at the Cowboy and places like that almost every night. I met my husband at the Cowboy back when it was famous during the Urban Cowboy phase.
13. I've been an extra in several different movies - a TV special at Disneyland with Alabama, a movie with Courtney Cox, Debbie Reynolds, and Suzanne Pleshette. My parents were extras too. I was at a company dinner and they showed a commercial clip - there goes my Mom dancing across the screen. I could have DIED!
14. My favorite dinner - corned beef and cabbage. Strange, huh?
15. In college, I was a Performing Arts major. Singing, dancing, acting, stage management, playing instruments, I did it all, but none of it very well! Didn't stick with it, but I still sing in the choir at church sometimes.
16. Thinking about getting a tattoo. I love Celtic knot designs and I have a celtic knot ring I just love. I'd like to have it done up as a tattoo, but I'm probably too chicken!
17. I'm kind of psycho about money. I hate to be in debt and I have saved at least 5% of every paycheck I've ever gotten. Doesn't mean I don't spend it later, but it at least gets into the bank and some of it stays there.
18. I am a HUGE fan of the Olympics, both Winter and Summer. When they come on, I block out the whole two weeks. When the Olympics came to Utah, I just WALLOWED in it! I volunteered as a Mascot, I did pin trading, I went to events, I was just beaming the whole time! My best moment was when I got to tour the Olympic Village and meet all the athletes.
19. I have a whole shelf of chick flicks. Whenever I'm depressed, I start at one end and start working my way to the other.
20. I am subject to terrible panic attacks. When I get worried about something, I'm a basket case. I can't sleep, can't breathe, and can't concentrate. If I ever had something really bad happen to me, I think I'd die from just the sheer fright of it.
21. I get along much better with men than with women. I've had some friendships really blow up in my face and I think I'm a little gun shy with making new friends. I used to have a lot of gay friends in college (obviously, I was a performing arts major!). I kind of miss them now. They're kind of a cross between girlfriends and buddies.
22. I'm double jointed. I can bend my fingers back almost double and I can rotate my elbows almost all the way around. Blake and Matt are too.
23. My husband is LOUD. I mean really LOUD and he gets on my nerves sometimes. But he's got a heart of gold and he'd give you the shirt of his back. Whenever we lose a pet, even a hamster, he's a basket case.
24. My biggest struggle is consistency. I just do not seem to have the ability to do the same thing any two days in a row. Drives me up the friggin' wall!
25. I am the anti-Christ of sports and the Patron Saint of lost causes. I will ride the dead horse clear into the ground and beyond. And as for sports, I never have a CLUE who is playing in the Superbowl, World Series, or the Basketball championships, even if I happen to be watching them. I just don't CARE people!

Great post! I love learning tidbits about my blogging friends. I think it's so cool you've been an extra in movies :-)

I love that you have boys. You are right, you can stop by my blog just to get a dose of pink & then return to your "blue" :-) Have a great weekend!

Rhea

I will do this! Just give me time...

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo also. I can't decide on a design yet though.

And I love cruises!

And I love our DVR! I have to record everything these days.
