I've Been Tagged--Six Random Things About Me

One of my favorite homeschooling frugal mamas, Sonshine, tagged me to write six random things about myself. Here goes!

1. I grew up in the capital "city" of Helena, Montana. No, I didn't ride a horse to school. I'm allergic, so I usually just hitched a ride with these guys.









2. My Dad was a mortician, so therefore, I grew up in a Funeral Home--just like in the movie "My Girl." And yes, there were dead bodies in my house. No, they didn't scare me--they were dead, which usually means they don't do anything except lay there, being dead.

3. I met my husband on the radio. I was a college student and my friend called the radio station to win a pizza. She was chatting with him when I walked in the room, pissed off at my roommate and she handed me the phone. Here's how the conversation went:
Me: "Who's this?" said with disdain.
Him: "John."
Me: "John who?" laced heavily with sarcasm.
Him: "John Leatherwood."
Me: "Sooo, do you like leather on your wooder? Nice name buddy." handing phone back to friend
He knew what he was getting himself into, and I always remind him of that when he complains about my bitchiness! p.s. I am not Carrie Leatherwood, thankfully--it was his radio name.

4. When we bought our first new car in 2001, I was choosing between a VW Beetle and a Chevy Malibu. I decided to choose the practical Malibu over the fun VW Beetle because I thought it would be easier if we had kids to have a four-door vehicle. Fast-forward to January of 2007--I total out my Malibu and still childless, decide what the hey--I'll finally get the VW Beetle I've dreamt of since I was a teenager! One week later, while my hubby was picking up the beetle in Connecticut, I found out I was pregnant. Now I have to actually sit down in the back seat to get my midget out of her car seat, then hold on to her and maneuver my fat a** out of the car. BUT I still love my Silver Bug!!

5. Let me clear my throat for this one. Ahem. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BLUEBERRIES!! Ah, now to come down off the mountaintop. Seriously--I love them so much. I have to watch myself or I could eat a whole 5 lb. box in one sitting. I like them in just about everything--cakes, cookies, yogurt, pies--whatever! I like anything flavored blueberry--candy, sodas, and my favorite--iced coffee. I eat so many of them, I will probably turn into a blueberry someday! I've already got the shape goin' on and I'm sure the color will come soon! hah I have passed this love on to the midget and let me tell you how much fun it is changing her cloth diapers after I've given her a few too many--uber grossness!!








6. My favorite movie of all time is, well, there's actually two. Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Beetlejuice. I really don't have an explanation for this. They are just funny and dark and silly, I guess. It's a little embarassing, especially when most people have good ones like Gone With the Wind or Wuthering Heights. C'mon, my two favorites are every bit as good as these two! Sheeeese!
