I was Tagged – grrrrrrrr

So, two posts in one day.  How does that happen!?  Well, I was tagged by Deb SOOOOOOOOO here goes my response to the 6 random facts about myself.  Notice I grrrrrrrrr’d this.  Only because I’m really tired right now because I keep waking up at 4:30-5:00 AM.  I need MORE SLEEP!

1.  I am an only child ( but really wanted an older brother).  My parents assured me that this wasn’t really possible.  Darn!!

2.  I LOVE junk food……..wish that I could actually live off of it and that it was healthy.

3.  I wanted to be a Dallas Cowboy (football player, NOT a cheerleader!)

4.  I grew up in a small town, Selmer, where Sheriff Buford Pusser “walked tall”.  My hometown is also infamous for Mary Winkler, who gained international coverage for killing her “preacher husband”.   If that’s not enough, my hometown also experienced a horrible car crash during a fundraiser for sick children.  At “Cars for Kids”, a drag car spun out of control into a crowd, killing 9 people.  Not events that make you proud of your hometown.  Nonetheless, it was a good place to grow up.  I was very sheltered!

5.  I love humor AND sports.  I think I missed my calling – imagine me on ESPN, laughing it up with the likes of Mike + Mike!

6.  I graduated from college in 3 1/2 years.  If I had a “do-over” I would have stayed in college as long as my parents would have let me.  Getting out into the “real world” wasn’t what I thought it would be!

Ok, I don’t really know how to “tag” people so after I figure it out, I’ll tag 6 others! ;)

I’m a Slacker…….

Ok, if my hubby reads this he would laugh at me calling myself a slacker.  He says I’m always busy and I have a really hard time doing nothing.   He’s pretty correct………..

Anyhow, I’ve gotten lazy regarding blogging.  It seems my time is better spent working………working at work, working at home, working at……….everything.  I want to do better at keeping my blog updated.  We have a lot going on so I have tons of material that I want/need to share.  Finding time to express everything adequately is the issue…..

I’m going to do better!!

Reunion Weekend!

I am SOOOOO excited – tomorrow Barry and I head out of town to my 20th HIGH SCHOOL CLASS REUNION.  I have been helping plan this big shin-dig for the past couple of months and have been hearing from and talking to friends that I haven’t seen or kept in touch with for YEARS.  I feel like this weekend will be a huge mix of what we did back then and where we are and what we’re doing now.  I hope that we will stay closer now that technology allows such wonderful means of communication.  I hope to post some pics by early next week……..maybe even a pic of me in 1988 and now.  Scary!!

I will let you in on a funny, sort of embarrasing secret about me.  I often took on the role of mother figure to many of my guy friends.  You know, sort of guiding them through how they should act and what they should and shouldn’t do so that led to a really crazy nickname:  McGruff.  Does anyone remember “McGruff the Crime Dog”??  His motto was “take a bit out of crime”.  Hilarious, I know!!

Does anyone have an embarrassing or funny nickname?  I would LOVE to know about it!
