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!
