3 things about YOU

What a great thread! :)

Okay, hmm.....

1. I have a photographic memory for spelling -- if I see a word written once, I can spell it correctly for life. My 17-year-old son has the same trait. My 19-year-old, not so much. ;-)

2. I was born when my mom was barely 30 weeks pregnant (in 1955, this was a HUGE deal), weighed 3 lbs and lost down to 2 lbs quickly. I fit into the palm of my dad's hand. I was given less than a 30% chance of surviving my first 48 hours, then I was upgraded to having *maybe* a 50% chance of living a week, etc. I was nearly five weeks old before my parents were told that I would definitely live. THEN they named me. They were discouraged by the hospital staff from naming me before then because they were told that if I didn't make it, losing "a baby girl" would be easier than losing a baby who had a name.

3. Because I was so premature, the cartilage in my nose and ears had barely begun to harden when I was born, and so from laying on them in my incubator for weeks I have a slightly crooked nose and one ear that's slightly higher and sticks out slightly more than the other.

1. I smoked for 10 years, quit 3 years ago & don't know how I did it but am very glad.

3. I had a boob job 1 year & 4 months ago & so glad I did!
 
TeTe-

Thanks for 'fessin up that you love MeatLoaf too!!! I agree w/ you on the over the top production thing.. he is, but I still love him!

I haven't yet bought Bat 3 yet, but I probably will.. ( maybe this should go under the guilty music pleasure thread!!) :) how about you?

1.Lived in Argentina 7 years and my youngest DD was born there
2. Went backpacking by myself on Isle Royale, traversing the whole island (way back in the day...1980s)
3. Accepted Christ as my Savior and it changed my life!
 
1. I have the attitude of a Ferrari, but look like a Ford. This always throws people off. They see me and think I'm little Miss Bookworm-Nicey-Nice-Softspoken, and some learn the hard way that that's just not the case.
2. I understand football better than a lot of men I know. It's all about the football from September to February! Go Colts!
3. If my husband would let me have fifty cats, I'd probably have fifty cats. As it stands, he's cut me off at four! x(
 
1-I have VERY short toes...my DD calls them "raisin toes" and I really can't move them at all.
2-I am in the process of a divorce, which my husband wants, but I don't...and I am turning 40 this weekend.
3-I am a complete goofball...I trip over my own feet if given half the chance!

1. I married "WD" Diane Sue a month after I turned 18, She was 20 1/2. (almost 34 years ago)
2. My best friend is my wife.
3. I found out while in Iraq I'm allergic to bombs... x(
 
Sorry to Hijack the thread for a moment!!


{{{{{Debra}}}}} ,

I don't want to drag on about your #2 comment. But wanted to send hugs your way. I pray that you come out of this a stronger women!!!
 
Debra,
Sorry I would not have posted my comments after reading what you had to say. I'm sue it's his loss. Lean on your family and friends for support.
 
1. I can't stand when people are apathetic
2. I have a hard time making friends because so many of them turn out to be 'frenemies'.
3. My grey cat (see phototrail) always meows at me when I sneeze. He's very polite.
 
OK here goes:

1. I have been married 30 years.

2. I can do ANYTHING with my toes

3. My mind never ever stops working and I have files upon files (literally, physically) of business ideas, book themes, fantasies, questions, poems, sketches, etc...I wish I could talk to Leonardo DaVinci.
 
1. I have an identical twin sister, Jean.
2. We were once propositioned by a New York Met player while sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley Field. We listened to the offer but declined.
3. I have written 3 novels but have never been published.
 
I'm not sure how interesting or cool these things are, but I'll list them anyway.

1. I earned a black belt in karate while going to college
2. I would rather putz around my house all day than anything else
3. My DH and I have been married for 23 years (high school sweethearts) and we were each others' "first" and (how weird is this) "only" I've told very few people this, and they are so surprised that at age 46, I've only slept with one man! We should start a thread re: this!

Nothing super cool or whacky, but here goes:
1) I have never had a cavity, ever!
2) I met DH when we were both in the Navy, he retired, I stayed in for another 3 years
3) I was 27 when DH and I got married and he was my "first" and we never went on a honeymoon! Still havent', 7 1/2 yrs later!

oh, and
4) I am at a cross roads right now, I can't decide what I want to do with my career. I have been offered a very nice deal to return to Chicago and become a professor (moving from Florida), but I also love the clinical arena and want to become either a P.A. or CRNA (nurse anesthetist). Decisions, decisions, decisions!!!
 
Here's my confessions:

1.) For some strange reason, I love Chuck Norris movies/tv show.
2.) Sometimes, I feel like a failure since my career never took off like hoped.
3.) I'm 31 and still a virgin.

No, I just have one and two, but I tell you, the first one is amazing to me. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" still blows me away and is an ultimate classic. "Gotta do what we can/and let Mother Nature do the rest/ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed/'cause we were barely 17 and we were barely dressed!!!"

And that whole rock opera type video? Okay, I have to go to youtubes right now to see it!!!!

(He's still my favorite part of "Rocky Horror.")
 
1.) the first records I ever owned were AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Joan Jett's I Love Rock n' Roll, and something by Black Sabbath

2.) I have a penchant for spiky heeled shoes, particularly boots and own more pairs than my walk in closet can accomodate

3.) My dream vacation would be tooling through Belgium, France, and Germany to visit WWI and especially WWII battle grounds and landmarks.
 
I once put my mothers mash potatoes in a napkin and excuse myself to go to bathroom to flush it down toilet.

My nose is very sensitive. Maybe I was a bloodhound in another life. Can smell stuff others can't or don't notice. I broke up with a old boyfriend once because he smelled bad.

I sleep in the nude

1. I was a music performance major in college for a year (flute), and almost went to study music in Austria while living w/ my Aunt. Instead, I decided to marry my dh & put him through college. ;-)

2. I'm on the infomercial for Winsor Pilates (yep, the one w/ Daisy Fuentes). It's originally how I lost weight very quickly almost 3 yrs ago & I still love doing pilates. (but I'm happy that I found Cathe!!)

3. I love doing any sort of exercise, my loves to tease me about being an *addict*. It just makes me feel good!! ;-)
 
Here goes:
#1- I want so bad to go skydiving
#2- I love to go to the movies by myself.
#3- I talk to my dog like he's a person. (not so weird but people look at me funny while walking him.)
