1. I have been trained as a teen suicide prevention counselor. (In high school -- peer counselor)
2. I was on the corporate board of Life Preserver's Inc in high school -- the same who trained me.
3. I have stood on a stage next to Hilary Clinton.
4. I have seen the above lady in sweat pants on her way to the hair stylist.
5. I met my husband via a dollar bill.
6. I always wanted to be a veterinarian (but blood icks me now) or a teacher (too much of a weenie - would need a bodyguard now).
7. My favorite color is green but used to be rose and then blue.
8. I didn't learn to drive until I was 18. I'm not sure why. Too many test horror stories maybe? Plus I didn't want to become the house gopher (you know go for a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk).
9. My favorite movie is "LadyHawke".
10. My favorite John Wayne movie is "Angel and the Badman." Yeah, it's probably as cheesy as it sounds. Can't help it. I like it. My second of his is "Cowboys."
11. I once had a perm that fell out the next day. I also got one later that popped up like an afro (by the way-not a good look for me) and the yearbook staff was kind enough to put a page and a half picture of me with it in my tenth grade yearbook.
12. There was a fire in my high school over one of the breaks when I was a sophomore. That was a mess.
13. I have started a minimum of three novels.
14. One of my English teachers once (falsely) accused me of plagiarism in high school. The same teacher did not recognize the word 'spawned' in a paper. Nuff said.
15. I have a folder full of poems that I wrote as a child. They are invariably about death. Are you scared to be friends with me now?
16. I lived in the same house all of my life up until a month before my wedding.
17. When I got married, I could cook pinto beans, fried potatoes, banana bread, and anything from a can. Now my pinto beans stink.
18. I used to have a MAJOR crush on John Sneider for a VERY long time. I thought he was too cute for words with his feathered blonde locks. Hear my heart going pitty pat.
19. At one point in my life, I was actually 17.9 % body fat. 18% is the lowest a female should be. Obviously that is no longer a problem.
20. I have a butt chin. You know a cleft like Kurt. It just looks like a mini-butt to me though. I have always hated it. Which is funny because my husband thinks its cute. Go figure.
21. Until my engagement picture appointment was approaching, I had always had a mole that looked like a large pimple sticking straight out from the side of my nose. Most people thought it was a pimple. I was determined to get rid of it before I got married so we went and they sliced it off. I am sure it resulted in my strong personality. After all the cruelty of my peers that I had to withstand, how could I not have character.
22. I have lived in Arkansas, Texas, Georgia, California, and South Carolina. I expect to add to that list based on our marital history but see nothing in the future yet.
23. I have never learned to swim underwater without holding my nose. I see it as a huge accomplishment that both my children can.
24. I learned to sew by making my own Barbie clothes. Thanks Mom.
25. My favorite restaurant is Applebees and my favorite meal there is the Oriental Chicken Rollup.
26.Apparently, it is very difficult to find random facts about me.
27. I was named after (in a way of speaking) a beauty queen. They saw the name and liked it. As an aside, I have always loved the name Sarah -- which I believe is what they were considering before that. Guess what my daughter's name is.
28. My eyes are green but look blue with certain clothing colors.
29. I have now been a blonde, brunette and a redhead at various times. When I was all blonde, a lot of people would ask me why I went red. Huh? I guess it could have looked strawberry blonde maybe. I just thought it was blonde. Never really got that.
30. I would like to own horses some day. They would roam around with the pygmy goat my husband wants I guess.
31. Those apocalyptic type movies where a person wakes up and everyone is gone except them really appeal to me. I would probably go crazy but I think I would immensely enjoy being alone for a while and having to restart society. Is that terrible?
32. I love Snickers candy bars. How can you not? It's all there. Yum!
33. As a child, I memorized the words to "Our God, He Is Alive" after deciding it was my favorite song. I don't really have a favorite now but I still remember the words.
34. ?
Okay, I give for now. Maybe I'm just kind of boring. Don't get me wrong. I'm okay with that. I know some families that wish for boring. It just means I have to think about it before I can give you the other 17. Did anyone find something out from that?
