Thanks Karen!!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

LOL LOL LOL Thanks David

[boomersooner]

Here goes....I did this for Facebook, too, and it took longer than I thought it would!

1. I’m the youngest of three girls. All of our names begin with the letter S. For the longest time, I thought my name was Susansandyshannon……..

2. I don’t wear jewelry because I have a terrible nickel allergy. Even supposedly gold earrings break my ears out, and it hurts a lot!!!

3. I don’t like to wear dresses because I’m not really girly girly. Panty hose were invented by the devil himself.

4. Bridges and high overpasses terrify me….especially high bridges over water. Even though tunnels don’t bother me, I don’t think I could go through an underwater tunnel either.

5. I teach at the same elementary school I attended. When I went to Caldwell, it was first through sixth grade…no kindergarten.

6. Even though I didn’t go there, I love all OU sports, especially football and basketball….men and women’s.

7. I have a bachelor’s degree in Library Science and a master’s in Elementary Education. The thought of going to school now really gives me the heebie jeebies………glad I’m done.

8. I love, love, love dogs, and I have two great ones…Cassie, my 14 ½ year old Dalmatian and Boomer, my year old English Springer Spaniel. I guess I must have a thing for black and white dogs. HA

9. Snakes absolutely, positively scare the beejeebers out of me!! My nephew has one, and I don’t know how my sister sleeps in the same house.

10. I have been in a football stadium when a bomb when off right outside. Some guy tried to take a backpack with a bomb in it into Memorial Stadium at OU. We heard the explosion, and everyone around us was speculating about what it could be, but I think everyone was thinking bomb…..especially those who live in the Oklahoma City area, but no one wanted to actually say those words. The guy couldn’t get in with the backpack so he went and sat on a bench outside the stadium to figure out what to do next, I guess, and the bomb went off……..poor bus driver sitting in a bus saw it all.

11. While in an airplane, we almost had a midair collision when the traffic controller sent a small plane in our path….pilot had to like brake in midair! I looked at Mike, and when I saw the concern on his face, I knew something bad had happened. The pilot came on and explained what had happened. Pretty freaky!!

12.I once scratched my cornea while wearing a construction paper bird beak. The teachers were acting out the Twelve Days of Christmas, and my group were the six geese a laying. I was acting silly, “pecking” at a coworker who was afraid of birds. I guess the beak slipped up and got me in the eye. It was one of the worse pains I’ve ever experienced. I went to an afterhours clinic, and the doctor acted like he had heard that same story a dozen times that day. I had to wear a patch for 24 hours, and my lovely husband would only talk pirate to me! HA

13. I’m related to Davy Crockett and Abe Lincoln. Our family all came from the Tennessee/Kentucky area. We always knew we were kin to Uncle Davy, but my sister delved deeper into our family tree, and found that we were also related to Abe.

14. I have a “fear”, for lack of a better word, of down escalators. My mom and I were in a Boston mall once, and the down escalator was going so fast and was at such a steep slope, neither one of us could get on. I haven’t liked them since. I will almost always find an elevator. Up escalators don’t bother me.

15. I’ve never had any broken bones that I know of….I think I may have broken the toe next to the little one when I tripped over a big rock. I cut my foot pretty badly when I was 8…..that was about it as far as injuries go.

16. I’ve traveled to 9 countries and 37 states. I went to Europe before I was married, and my parents and I used to go on these long road trips. I’ve also gone to quite a few states with Mike and the kids, following OU football.

17. I’ve never smoked a cigarette, even as a kid. My mom used to smoke so I had access to them…..just never, ever appealed to me.

18. Old classic television shows are my favorites…The Andy Griffith Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Dick Van Dyke Show……the best TV. If they ever take TV Land off, I’ll be lost! HA

19. At my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary celebration, my sister made me laugh so hard, I….I…..yes, I wet my pants!!! Luckily, it was at my house, and I was able to slip down the hall to change before everyone knew….There I’ve said it!!!

20. I am a Christian but I know I’m not as good of one as God would want. I pray every day to be a better person than the day before.

21. I don’t know how to drive a car with a stick. I’ve lived 47 years without knowing, so I really don’t see the point in learning now.

22. I am NOT adventuresome when it comes to trying new things such as food……If it isn’t something I’m familiar with, I won’t eat it….just like a little kid, I guess, but again, I’m 47 years old, and I don’t have to eat anything I don’t want to!!

23. I was a Cub Scout leader for 4 years for my two nephews’ den. It was fun, but I didn’t want to do it again. I stayed up all night at a lock in with what seemed like hundreds of 7,8, and 9 year old boys....never again!

24. I’m a librarian, but I really don’t read that much. I’m busy with the kids and the husband, the job, the house, the dogs, etc.so I really don’t do much reading. My dad and my older sister read two or three books a week probably.

25. I’ve lived in the same city all of my life. I never had to experience changing schools or making new friends.

26. I met Mike on a blind date. He had hired the daughter of one of my coworkers, and they hooked us up. We were engaged after 3 weeks. When you are in your 30’s, I guess you just know if you have found the right person.

27. I used to always tease my mom about the many different hairstyles and hair colors….well, I realized I can’t talk much! HA

28. I don’t like confrontation at all! I can tell people off really well while I’m in the car or the shower, but I don’t like actual confrontation. I guess that is why I don’t talk about controversial topics unless I know the person I’m speaking with is of the same opinion as me.

[davidpizzica]

LOL LOL LOL Thanks David

You're welcome! I knew I had written 28!

[shais_mom]

for me!

1. I talk to my parents everyday. Usually both of them more than once. On days when they are at their cottage and the cell service doesn't go thru it just doesn't feel right.

2. I was supposed to be born in the middle of December but I came 2 months early. I was born Oct 20th. I weighed 4 pounds. One of my aunts (married to my mom's brother when I was about 6-7) told my mom in front of me when I was about 8-10 that there was no way I was a premie b/c I was too fat now. Thank God neither of her children have weight issues.

3. I love most animals but have a phobia of little critters. When my friends kids want me to hold their guinea pig or hamster it almost sends me into a full blown panic attack. I can't stand the little feet on me. Didn't help when in 2007 after I had foot surgery I woke up in my parents house with a mouse crawling down my arm.

4. I have been a member of a PET TALK since 2000. I have met several members and consider them dear friends. I have also traveled to Los Angeles CA twice due to that forum. And I was in a wedding for an online friend and I met her the day she picked me up from the train 2 days before the wedding.

5. I have lost at least 3-4 dear friends simply b/c their boyfriend turned husband didn't like me. B/c I was the single friend and I wouldn't put up with their sh!t like they did.

6. I have a tendency to be extremely blunt but I hate confrontation.

7. I'm a small town girl at heart, born and raised country girl, but I'd love to live in the Big City like NYC for 6 months just to be able to order sushi at 3am if I wanted to. Then send me back to the small town. I hate driving in big cities.

8. I've only had one boyfriend in my life, when I was a freshman in HS. He was a bad boy of all bad boys. A couple years ago I opened up the local paper and saw his picture in it and was like "now what" then I realized it was the obituries. He had had a heart condition and all the hard living caught up with him.

9. When I was about the age of 8-9 I ate a Texas Tenderloin and got the flu and threw up for days and have not been able to eat one since then.

10. When I was in Jr. Hi I babysat my cousin's and fixed them Totino's Pizza Rolls and that night I got the flu and threw THEM up and can't even stand the smell of them since then.

11. As mentioned in Round 1, I can drive a Stick shift- I've driven a Tractor and a semi. It was just backing it down the driveway but I did it!

12. Before FFA I was in 4-H, and showed sheep at the county fair from the ages 9-18. My Sr. Yr I was Hardin County (Ohio) Lamb and Wool Queen.

13. My dad has one of their friends convinced that I would give him an enema anytime I was around him, so one day I brought home an enema tip from work, put it in an envelope and anonymously sent it to him with the instructions, instert into rectum and blow it up. Any questions call 1-800-ENEMA.

14. I have one older sister. My sister and I are exactly 5 years, 11 months and 1 day apart.

15. My mom has one sister and 2 brothers. All the kids EXCEPT my mom had their boys first and there is about 2-4 years b/n the boy and the girl. My mom is the odd ball out having 2 girls 6 Years apart!

16. I will eat almost any fruit except Muskmelon (cantaloup) or honeydew. I had a great aunt that had breast cancer and can remember my other great aunt saying when she threw up with the chemo it smelled like Muskmelon. I never smelled it but I never ate it before and I refused to eat it since then.

17. My dad is an only child. My grandma had 3 siblings only 6 & 8 (set of twins) years older than my dad. So growing up HIS aunts were MY aunts b/c I spent so much time with my grandma and with them.

18. I was never much of a cat person until I got a dog, my greyhound. She unlocked the passion in me that had been hidden. Loving animals is in my blood. My dad's mom used to bottle feed all kinds of baby pigs and lambs.

19. When I moved out and went to get a dog at the local shelter, I went in mind I was going to get a small scruffy looking dog similiar to Benji. lol I came home with a greyhound. but she was my

20. I love makeup and good smelling girlie things. I have the ultimate girlie bathroom.

21. I have a slight phobia of petting other people's cats unless I know where they came from. If they are a stray or a barn cat, I might pet them but I can't stand the dirty fur. And I'm afraid that the cat will be sick and I will bring it home to my cats.

22. I can't throw or hit a ball to hit the broad side of the barn with the wind behind me, but 2 years ago I took Keegan to the park to throw the tennis ball, I got out the tennis ball launcher and threw the ball and it hit the side mirror on my car and broke it. I just stood there like an idiot with my mouth hanging open b/c I couldn't believe I actually HIT the mirror. Talk about a Needle in the haystack!

23. I had orthoscopic knee surgeries when I was 15 years old. One month they went in a scoped both knees and removed cartilage marbles and scraped out more arthritis than the average 65 year old. The next month they went in and did the other one. The Orthopedic surgeon had never seen that much arthritis in someone so young.

24. I have a sock phobia. I can not stand wet socks. Nor can I stand having anything in my shoe. Sock fuzzies are the bane of my existence. One of my friends says that I have Princess and the Pea feet.

25. When I was about 2 years old we were riding in the semi with my dad, my mom in the front and my sister and I in the bunk. My dad was driving up I-75 and felt a slight pressure change in the truck. He glanced in the side mirror and saw that the door to the bunk was open. He told my mom to hold the wheel and she started to ask why but he launched himself into the bunk grabbed me by the back of the shirt and yanked me back in the truck. I was sitting there with my feet hanging over watching the road go by. My mom started to get hysterical and my sister got in trouble for not watching me! As soon as he got home, he welded the bunk doors shut.

26. I was a sophomore in HS, I went White Water Rafting with the FFA. At a certain part of the river there was a rock we were supposed to jump off of, I refused to do it b/c I wear contacts, and another kid didn't do it either. They told us anyone that does NOT jump off the rock, falls in. We still didn't jump off. I fell out in the middle of a class 5 rapid and really thought I was going to die. Lost my shoe! and the other kid fell out as well. I refuse to WWR after that!

27. I love doing dog/pet related activities. They are a joy to me especially if I get to go with my dog loving friends and take my dog with me.

28. Adding more to my original 28 things has been on my mind since I did it the first time but since starting this list, my mind went blank and it was a lot harder than I thought!

[shais_mom]

Staci and Alyssa, I had never heard of FFA, but I was in 4-H.
