7 Random Things

I usually don't do these things, but was tagged by my mother-in-law. So just this once :)

1. "please don't make the nice girl grouchy". This is one of my favorite t-shirts. Too bad it shrunk after I washed it the first time.

2. My first non-classical music concert I went to was to see Weird Al Yankovic when he played at the Arizona State Fair in 1999. It was kinda lame, although I think he has some great talent.

3. I *love* bacon. However, not in the sense that I crave it, like some people do ice cream or sweets. And it's not a food that I can sit down and just eat a lot of. But I just love the flavor. If you bring over a dish to Sunday dinner and it includes bacon, you can betcha I'm gonna be having some of it! One of my new favorite salads includes the following:
  • 6oz fresh spinach, washed & dried
  • 6 hard boiled eggs, sliced
  • red grapes
  • sliced mushrooms
  • 1 pound crumbled bacon
  • served with Lite Raspberry Pomegranate dressing - YUM!

4. During a friend's sleepover birthday party, her older sister drove us to a neighborhood to go t.p.ing. We thought we were "decorating" a boy's house from school, but apparently we had the wrong house. A man opened his front door and swore at us! We all took off running, and he tried chasing after us in his car. It was scary, but we hid in bushes and escaped safely back home! I think were about 12 years old at the time. And I'm almost certain we never went out doing this again :)

5. I never went to any high school proms. And I'm not sad about it. I didn't even get asked, so it's not like I had to turn some down some dorky guy who I didn't want to go with anyway. I also didn't see the point in spending a lot of money and time trying to find a dress and shoes, and then get your hair done, and makeup, and then stand in line forever to get pictures, which would never see the light of day after you get married to a completely different man! I'm a practical person. Oh, and my hubby never went to any either. What can you say... we were meant for each other :)

6. I took one of my younger sister's camping so she could have a reason to turn down a prom date she didn't want to go with. The two of us had a fabulous time! Now that's not really being mean, is it? She was just saving both of them a lot of time and money really.

7. I would love to be a librarian. In the past few years, I've recently found a love of reading and think it would be so fun to help children discover a love of reading books as well. I remember my elementary school librarian, Mrs. Bond, reading stories out loud to our class, and how she would show excitement and use different voices to make if more fun. I still remember some of those stories today.



Now I tag: whoever is in the mood and wants to share!

Now I don't feel so bad, I never got asked to the prom in High School either. Thanks for being such a good sport about the tag. I didn't want to do it but it's kind of fun after it's over.

Funny, I have been thinking about getting my masters in Library Science for about 3 years now...of course with all the crappy stuff going on putting all that money into it might not be worth it if there are no REAL librarian jobs available in a year or 2! We'll see...I'm now thinking about Speech & Language.

P.S. I couldn't even vote on your poll...it would depress you to know that I have yet to get back to pre-Audrey size clothes. Yes, I know she's 2 1/2 and I have never been to a gym. Staying home had to give way to some things I wanted. :o(
