25 Random Things About Me

See, I am on this thing called Facebook from time to time. I usually try to participate around 9pm at night for no more than 30 minutes just to see what those whom I have befriended and those whom have befriended me are up to. By the way... for those not familiar with Facebook, the "befrienders" are 90% made up of people I've known my whole life and it's just a good way to keep in touch and be nosy with what each has going on in their lives. Whether one really cares or not it's all in great fun. Anyway..... back to my point... I have over the past week or so received this notice of "25 Random Things About Me" lists from several of my admirers OH wait, I mean befrienders. Each has carefully listed "random things" about themselves and I am requested to follow suit. However... I am not extremely Facebook savy and am still waiting on my copy of "Facebook for Dummies" to arrive in the mail just any day so that I may figure out how to continue with this dire emergency request of posting my "25 Random Things About Me". With that being said.. I thought it smart to have lasting documentation of such a feat in cyber/blog world (we hope). Why you ask?? Is it really blogworthy? Of course. So here goes.OH and for those of you other bloggers out there. I encourage you to do the same so you won't have any regrets...I'm just saying.

25 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME:
1. I did take piano lessons for a few years when I was in elementary school and I can't play a single note.
2. I was offered tennis scholarships when I graduated high school to Mississippi College, Belhaven and Delta State. I did not pursue any of them.
3. I at one time used to cross stitch. Last thing I did was Floyd's Phi Delt crest. Can anyone relate here?
4. Floyd and I lived in Miami for one year following Law School. Coral Gables to be exact. He went to Tax School at Univ. of Miami.
5. I was born in Oxford and still somehow feel connected to that town but have no desire to live there on a full time basis. Yes, it is a great place to visit.
6. I am a Taurus if anyone is wondering where my "hard bullheadness" originates from.
7. I scuba dive
8. I enjoy making lists....lots of lists. To do lists, grocery lists, wish lists, matters not. Any will suffice.
9. I have run 2 half marathons. Currently training for my third.
10. I am a good friend. If you are my friend you are my friend forever.
11. I do enjoy the ups and downs of small town life. Although I still complain about it regularly.
12. I drink coffee with lots of Splenda and Sugar Free French Vanilla creamer. About 6 cups a day. That could explain why my stomach hurts so much I'm sure.
13. My new snack of choice happens to be almonds.
14. I have 2 precious children whom I am most proud of. Floyd will turn 8 this month and Anne Craig is 5.
15. I grew up next door in Belzoni to the current Style Editor for House Beautiful magazine. He was 11 years older than myself but I remember him well. http://www.housebeautiful.com/video/?maven_playerId=housebeautiful&maven_referralPlaylistId=2f282b4fc1dcfdaeeb1cda96858d16847f5c1486&maven_referralObject=9568635521.
16. I was voted Most Athletic in High School.
17. I guess one could say I am addicted to exercise in a healthy way. It's more for my mental well being.
18. I really enjoy Mexican and Thai food although I don't get a chance to visit Thai that often.
19. I HATE being cold.
20. I love hearing my children's voices. Anne Craig with her LOUD scratchy tone and cackle laugh along with sweet Floyd with his mild stutter and excitement.
21. Some of my favorite childhood memories were when McLean and I would get to stay with Gamba and Gooddaddy for the weekend and watch Dance Fever, Solid Gold, Love Boat and Fantasy Island. Don't know why that's so vividly implanted in my brain. Good Times.
22. I am a performer deep down. Was Rizzo in GREASE for my Senior Play and was King Mouse in the Nutcracker Ballet. Aren't those both the antagonist characters? I'm just saying....
23. I love going to the movies.
24. I like organization of all forms and fashion.
25. I am so very blessed to wake up each day with the same wonderful person I have been with for 19 years. My first date with Floyd was in February 1990. We dated for 6 years before we married in July 1996 and have currently been married 13 years this July. What a blessing he is to me.
