It's All About ME.

It was brought to my attention by Ozzy with a comment on my last post that there may be some things y'all don't know about me.

Some of them might surprise you. I don't think there are a hundred to list like some people do, but I can fill you in on the highlights of things you might not know. There are also three "lies" in here so you can decide which are true and which are not. I won't tell you which are the three UN-truths tho. I like to be a woman of mystery.

*I was born a long, long time ago in a little town in South Carolina & I am actually older than you would think from reading my blog posts.
*I only skipped school once in my academic life- and got caught that time- but didn't receive any punishment for it.
*I was almost three years old before I learned to walk or grew any hair, but I managed to climb out of my crib when I was 13 months old and scared the crap out of my mom when she put me back in and told me to show her how I got out.(I levitated, mom).
*I didn't learn to ride a bike til I was 7 years old and wouldn't have done then except my little brother learned to ride one first and was riding MY NEW BLUE bike and that was completely unacceptable.
*I was the female state automotive driving champion in 1970-something and came in 4th in the national competition the same year.
*I know how to work on my own car -unless it involves the carb- or the brakes. I have those done by a pro.
*I love anything having to do with Christmas.
*I was a dancer at one point in my life.
*I love to rock-climb but a fall and a heart condition put a stop to that hobby about 6 years ago.
*I have a certificate in Interior Design.
*I have the title of "Seasonal Marketing Specialist" with a major retail chain. The title was made up especially for me and the job I did decorating stores for the holidays.
*I am an expert marksman with handguns. With Rifles and other long-guns I am about as crap as you can get...well, I'm not as good as Paulius, anyway.
*I can knife fight.
*I know how to use power-tools- and tools that don't have power to them as well -and I can use them ALL almost as well as most men can.
*I have been cooking since the age of 7.
*I love chocolate of any kind but prefer Belgian or bittersweet chocolate.
*I have moved about 50 times in my life already-(and I HATE moving)
*I have been married 6 times.
*My fav movie is Thelma & Louise...or Shawshank Redemption....or Dirty Dancing......or Office Space......or Star Wars.............or.....
*My fav TV series is M.A.S.H.........or Star Trek(any except DSN).......or CSI(LV).
*My fav book is The Harvester. (Paulius got me a new copy of it as a wedding gift because I have an original copy and it was literally falling apart.)
*My NEXT favorite book is A Woman Of Substance.
*My first car was a 65 Stang. It was SWEET!!!
*I'm blond- have been all my life, but once dyed my hair red- and LOVED it!
*I hate wearing shoes around the house.
*I have a certificate in Culinary Arts.
*Tequila makes my clothes fall off.
*I was a majorette in High School. I also was in the band and played the Saxophone- but wanted to play the drums.
*I love to do oil paintings on canvas and am contemplating doing a mural on our hallway walls since it is 40 feet long and too narrow to do much else with.
*I have three grown kids- one girl and two boys- ages 26,23 and 22 this year.
*I have three grandsons ages 6, 6, and 2 .....and ANOTHER GS due in May.
*I get along with both my DILs.
*It took me two tries to get my D/L.
*I have a slow temper- but when I get mad I like to throw things....or shoot them.
*I love classical music.
*I once had a cushy job as a pool tester.
*I was once a police officer.
*I hate to talk.
*I wish I was a gamer and could understand the gamers lingo. I definitely don't like being in the dark about things when people are talking in another language....(like when you go to the nail salon and the women that work there are chatting to each other in another language. I HATE that.)It's like going to a party and everyone there is whispering behind their hands...HOW RUDE!!!!!!
*I have enough books to start a small public library.
*If I won the lottery I would still work at something.
*I'm a perfectionist at some things- but not others.

I think that's enough for now.
Maybe I'll add to it at a later date.

Next week I am going to do something a bit different as well. I'm going to post a different question for you guys every day and see what YOUR answers are.

Hope you all have had a great weekend!!
