I'VE BEEN TAGGED

I didn't even know what being tagged meant. I thought I had won something. "RATS" as the person that tagged me would say. I even thought maybe this was some kind of fun game. OH NO, I've got to write six things you may not know about me (or six things you really don't care to know about me, but I'm gonna (going -it's the teacher in me) tell ya (you-again the teacher in me is coming out) anyway. Some game huh. It sounds like " The Gotcha (got you-sorry I can't help myself) Game." Sounds like torture to me. HEY DEBBIE WHY DON'T YOU JUST PULL MY TOENAILS OUT WITH A VICE, MAKE ME WALK ON HOT COALS BAREFOOT, or MAKE ME SIT AND WATCH RERUNS OF THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW (sorry Lawrence.) (Just kidding Debbie) Well here goes:

6 THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME:
  • I love storms. I like to listen to the thunder and the lightning is fascinating to me. I love to sit on my front porch when it is storming and feel the mist of rain cover my face. One day I am going to get struck by lightning and be fried to the rocking chair.
  • I am scared of any kind of creepy crawly bug. Anything from ants, to grasshoppers, to lizards, to snakes. I panic and jump on the tallest thing around me. And yes there have been times when Denny's (my husband's) head was the tallest thing I could find.
  • I can not be trusted with a checkbook. My husband takes care of paying bills and gives me a check when I need to buy groceries or something discussed by both of us. His philosophy is pay bills first and then what is left over be divided between luxuries and savings and balance the checkbook every time you make a purchase (go figure.) My philosophy is I don't actually know what the balance is because I guess-ta-mate (I don't think that is a legitimate word but every woman in America knows what I am talking about.) Sometimes the balance I want it to be and the actual balance are not the same.
  • I am terrified of heights. I can truly stand on the stool in my kitchen and I get a case of weak knees and nose bleeds. My only reoccurring nightmares are either when I am stuck in a tree and can't get down or when I am on a high mountain looking down and there is no way down except straight down. (I know you have seen the National Geographic shows where an airplane is filming hikers and goes around and around the hikers while their heads are in the clouds and they are on one little peak at the top with no way down not even a little nicely carved out trail. Well, put me in their place and that is my nightmare.)
  • I have always wanted to work at SeaWorld. Remember I am terrified of heights but I think it would be fun for Orca or Shamoo (? spelled) to pick me up by their nose and throw me in the air (I would have my eyes closed of course.) There is one problem though I am scared to be in fresh water or the ocean with creatures swimming around and under me. So SeaWorld would have to teach the whale to pick me up from the dry ground. I guess that is why I never decided to pursue this dream.
  • I have panic attacks when I have to go to the GYN. No I didn't spell gym, I spelled GYN. I like everyother woman go once a year but I think about it off an on for 11 3/4 months. I have at least two to three attacks a month when it pops in my head. I know it is necessary but my GYN doctor will not listen to me. I told him he could make a fortune if he would develop a pant suit with a collar that is only in the front. We could drop a little drop seat flap where he could perform the exam but we would still feel covered because they are pants and the collar we could lift and cover our head. I just have one question before I wrap this blog up and that is why do they always have to ask you your life's story from the last time they saw you including asking about your family. I find it a bit annoying to talk about my husband, children and grandchildren while some man has his hand embedded in an opening in my body (and no I am not talking about my mouth.)

O.K. Debbie I did it. Now is the fun part because now I get to tag someone. I tag Darlene.

Darlene all you have to do is write 6 things we may not know about you. You title the blog: I Have Been Tagged. Then begin the blog 6 things you may not know about me (or 6 things you really don't care to know about me, but I'm gonna tell ya anyway!!!!)

1. I love to dance! Its not a pretty dance but I try. Would love to know how to BOOTY dance, but my booty is toooo big! But it is getting smaller so maybe one day it will move the way I want it to without dislocating my hip.
2. I HATE to read even though I will read books sometimes but it has to be really GOOD. I just fall asleep and say I will pick that up tomorrow but I never do. I'm just glad my girls didn't take after me because Ashley loves law books, YUK YUK YUK! and Karen will read anything.
3. I hate hopping and flying bugs! especially those camel crickets, praying manits, giant hard shell bug that fly around lights. God must have made them just for me because everytime I see one it is going to come after me and I squeal like a little girl.
3. I would shop everyday if I could or had the money and would have every coach purse made (isn't that so materialistic) but it is true. Purses are my FETISH. When I buy one I can always justify it by saying I really NEED this because the weather changed.
4. I still love high school football. Don't ask why--I think I am living through the cheerleaders(which I never was one it was only a pipe dream.) So this year I bought season tickets to Hueytown Gophers. Since all of our church are die hards we go too. We always have a plan where we are going to eat before and after the game and my favoite pick is Dairy Queen to get a Peanut Buster for only
$2.49. Richard and I have matching shirts. (how gay is that?) but anyways it just something I do.
5. I take a butt load of medicene's
to keep me on the right track of life. At night I take 2-1/2 mg of klonopin, 150mg Zoloft, 4 mg coumadin, 100mg of norflex and 2 tylenol. Most people say that would kill them but I take it so I won't kill somebody. I have a short fuse and can take someone down in a heartbeat. AREN'T YOU GLAD I TAKE THESE MEDS?
6. And finally, I wish I could be a better christian and a better example to my girls. Things I have done in the past haunt me everyday of my life. I continue to pray every day that my girls will not reap the consequences of my other life.

ROLL TIDE ROLL

Roll Tide Roll, is right! WooHooo!

I loved reading your answers and then to get the bonus of reading Darlene's too! Wow! That is a lot of information to process.

I wish I could have a peanut buster. I'd even settle for a Dilly Bar. LOL
