Random 25 things...most of you have read already on facebook!

1. I don't eat hard shell tacos b/c of a horrable acciden in kindergarten with me, a hard shell taco in the cafeteria and white pants...it scarred me for life can you tell?2. I met my husband in 1st grade so I hear, when his mother pointed me out to him and said "be nice to her b/c one day she'll be real cute."3. I went to the Jr. Prom with my husband as "friends" and I don't believe we even danced or talked to each other the whole night...our next 'date' wouldn't be for 4 more years.4. In high school I was leader crazy: captain of the cheerleading squad, student council president, blah blah blah. I got a leadership scholorship to college and was burnt out by the time I started. So, I spent all four years doing the bare minimum to keep my scholarship. 5. The summer after I graduate high school I waitressed with two of my best friends at a brand new restaurant in our small town. I was so bad & would mess up people's orders all the time. But I learned to eat raw oysters from the giant black man that served drinks at the oyster bar.6. I went to a liberal arts women's college with about 500 students in Macon, Ga. It taught me to be a wild, southern liberated thinking lady...Go Purple Knights!7. I found a lot of things in college: my freedom, my wild side, my brain (never knew I had one before) and my faith in God.8. I love making speeches in front of groups.9. I love mothers of preschoolers b/c I truly believe that is the hardest stage of life a woman/mom will ever go through.10. I love writing.11. I had a job in high school where I was a t.v. host on our small town cable channel. I interviewed the local strawberry farmer, a band director and a factory manager. I know of at least one person who watched me...my mom.12. I appear outgoing but really I cringe in large crowds when the spotlight is on me. When I was pregnant I almost died of embarresment everytime I went into big groups b/c I could feel people staring at my belly!13. I love making new friends...I could never have too many girlfriends.14. I love organizing things: closets, toy boxes, parties, new groups.15. I love my husband who I became best friends with first the summer of our Junior year in college when we lifeguarded together in that same small town I've mentioned before.16. When I lifeguarded I was the worst swimmer. We had to swim laps each morning and I often swam the side stroke b/c I was no good at any other strokes - don't ask.17. I married my best friend one month after I graduated from college in my parent's yard/field. It stormed all morning but then quit and was the most beautiful day.18. During my wedding reception I had a breakdown in my house b/c everyone was staring at me and I was so hot from that huge Cinderella dress in 100 degree weather that my aunt stripped my clothes off and threw me in the shower to calm me down. I changed clothes and was fine after that.19. My first job after college was working for the Boy Scouts of America: Good things - I made a lot of money for a 21 year old with a communications degree; I was the first woman to hold my position in my county; I learned to start a fire with a flint stick. Bad things- I often had to wear a boy scout uniform; I had to hang with the good old boys who didn't appreciate 'women's rights'; and I had to camp outside without a tent and beside about 50 men/boys one time.20. I became a stay at home mom when my first born came & then started on the road to odd jobs in order to make extra money and escape from the home: instructed water aerobics to old people back in said small town where you didn't even have to know what water aerobics was to teach it. I loved those 'students' of mine! 21. I then taught developmental writing at a community college where I most of my class was older or the same age as myself. I had to teach myself the grammar rules before I entered class each night-WORST JOB EVER!22. I tried to sell children's books through home book parties - I am not a salesperson!23. My last job was teaching 2 year olds at a church preschool. I thought I could teach them how to read and add but only made myself frustrated when they constantly wanted to chew on the books!24. I ran a 5K in 2007 & I remember my husband asking me ever so kindly if I thought I could go a little faster during the race (I think he was embarressed that an old lady passed us). I want to run another one this year but my body seems to be falling apart.25. I secretly wanted to have a baby girl so bad that I prayed and prayed for her. I have enjoyed having her so much in just the few short months I've been with her!
