it has been requested that I spill and confess to you all 9 things that you probably dont know about me..... oh boy oh boy? lucky you....! numero uno: I like to sleep in frigid conditions...windows open even below 50 * at night. numero dos: when I was just three years old my mom found me pushing a snake with a stick around our yard and screamed for the neighbor, who was mowing his lawn with an old style push mower, to come and kill the snake....which he did....with that mower while I stood there watching him cut it to bits and I am now forever extremely terrified of push mowers!......(and snakes, too!) numero tres: while living in west Virginia I worked for nine months at a Walmart Super Store the size of two football fields....it was the only game in a town of three thousand or so .....literally nothing to do...not even a bowling alley....NOTHING...so families would come in on Friday nights with their kids and I would serve them chicken strips and fries while they huddled together on the floor watching movies used to sell the tvs that were lined up for sale in our entertainment department....I hated that job..... numero quatro: I taught jazzercise in South Lake Tahoe for two years while my kids were just babies.....thats Jane Fondas Jazzercise....1980-82.....yes...I am old as dirt . numero cinco: I am obsessed with rocks of any kind...with ONE EXCEPTION.... diamonds....they are so plain....no color.....I dont get it!...other colored gems also sparkle when cut right ......just like a diamond....so ....I dont get the whole obsession with clear diamonds... numero ses: I am allergic to bee stings to the extreme point that once I got stung under my arm near the armpit and my arm swelled up so bad that I could not put it down at my side for two weeks and it stuck out sideways so far and wide that I could not walk into a room through a door unless I turned sideways! numero siete: I love the old TV show Will and Grace so much that I know every episode that I HAVE SEEN?........ by heart......word for word.....every character!! numero ocho: my favorite job (- so far- ) of all-time was teaching dance to six year olds and watching them perform in front of parents and friends in costumes they designed themselves!....song?...Upside Down...by Diana Ross...go on.......just take a quick minute to picture it in your mind ...it was even more adorable than what you are imagining!!:) and finally numero nueve: I dream about the ocean at least once a week and have for as long as I can remember....it is the same dream...what they call a RE-OCCURRING DREAM.......they started when I moved to California at age ten .......I am always at the same beach......it is a really bright and hot sunny day at about lunchtime (the sun is straight up above me). I am always in the same bathing suit playing at the waters edge with long black ponytails and pink bows in my hair. Next to me in every dream is the same bright pink metal bucket and pink shovel and there are red plastic SOLO-TYPE cups scattered next to me that i am using to make this castle and a green bucket full of water is at my feet that my bratty cousin keeps trying to tip over in order to ruin the sand castle I am trying to build.....i get really mad and end up running after him to make him stop.......but he knocks it down and ruins everything and I end up crying and very mad ......THIS IS WERE I ALWAYS WAKE UP!... it feels so real every time I dream that dream and i am pretty sure that in the dream I am about seven or eight years old..... NOT SURE what all this says about me, but there you go Mike ... you asked...and now you know!
