If you are on Facebook you have no doubt been tagged about a zillion times for this one. I finally broke down and did it because it HAS been fun to read other people's random things. So, here are mine. Again, if you are on FB, you probably have already seen this. If you aren't on FB, WHY NOT???

1. I am a clean freak that cannot relax unless the house is clean, but I don't make my bed unless company's coming.

2. I had a complete hysterectomy when I was 25.

3. I have like no hair on my legs, I only shave a handful of times per year.

4. I have 2 DVR's and they both work overtime.

5. I love to watch tv in bed.

6. I miss my Mam-ma every day.

7. I know what it is to be truly loved.

8. I didn't know my middle name had an "e" at the end until like 2nd grade...KayE

9. I knew I wanted to be a teacher from the time I was a little girl. My 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Evans, smelled like spiced tea and to this day it is one of my favorite smells.

10. I love to cook.

11.I was so scared of my dance teacher that I was afraid to ask to go to the bathroom...I peed my pants right there.

14. I hope my son treats his wife like a princess every single day.

15. I saw the wedding of the "smallest people in the world" at the circus when I was little. I was actually in it, I got pulled out of the audience and got to ride in a their horse drawn carriage...being pulled by the "smallest horse in the world" Tiny Tina. I had a poster of the bride and groom hanging in my room, my mom accidentally ripped it one day and I thought I would never forgive her. I am over it now.

19. My dad took me out to ride horses when I was in about 4th grade, I fell off and hit my head really hard. He said "Let's not tell mom about this." That was easy for him to say...mom was french braiding my hair the next day and was getting mad that I was whining about her pulling my hair so she hit me over the head with the brush, RIGHT ON MY BIG OL'GOOSE EGG!

20. My first dog was named Cry Baby. My parents told me she ran away, I found out as an adult they gave her away.

THE REST IS HISTORY!
