You have been tagged!!

Here's how to play. Once you've been tagged you have to write a blog of ten weird, random things, facts or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose five people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them to be tagged. Don't forget to leave them a comment "You're It" and to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you. Since you can't tag that person back, let him/her know when you've posted your blog so he/she can read your ansers.

Thanks for the tag Val. Not sure what to put, so here goes.

1. I was slapped by my first grade teacher, Mrs. Black, in Union. I was not able to go out for noon recess because I had make up work to do. I was sharpening my pencil when she walked in the room and she thought I was goofing off. I tried to explain what I was doing and she called me a liar and slapped me. I ran from the room and the first person I ran into (literally) was the principal. He called my mother and she came to the school ready to breath fire (those who knew her - you know what I mean). I left that day with my mom and Mrs. Black had a "class sitter" for the remainder of the year.

2. I have always had a fear that one of my tires will blow out and I will have a horrific crash.

3. I am an obsessive compulsive counter. I count anything and everything...the fence posts along the road, the white lines, tiles on a floor, ceiling tiles, etc. I must always end the count on an even number or I have to keep counting things.

4. I was asked to take part in the school Christmas program since I was missing my two front teeth. During the practices there was not problem. I sat on "Santa's" lap while the choir sang the song "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth". Well on the night of the program it didn't go so smoothly. They opened the curtain and there were a lot of people out in the chairs that were always empty. At that moment I had no control, I wet my pants. Santa never flinched. Sorry Val!!

5. If I am going into an unfamiliar place and I am with others; I never go in first. Not sure why, just one of those things.

6. I was a cheerleader. I was good, but the fact that I could do the splits was a real bonus.

7. I don't like others to see me cry. Not sure why, another obsessive issue?

8. One dream I have is to parasail.

9. My favorite place in the whole world is anywhere my whole family is gathered. It just doesn't get any better than that.

10. I am smoke free only because my family loved me enough to support and hang tough with me when I quit. Thanks guys!!
