10 Things About Me

Thank you, Heather for the nomination to share 10 facts about me :) I like doing things like this, so I will try to give you some facts about me that you may not know.

1. I love, love, love freshly washed sheets! If I had enough time in the day, I would change my sheets EVERY single day.

2. I am VERY much a rule follower!!! You won't catch me cutting any corners or doing ANYTHING I am not supposed to do.

3. When I graduated from college, I thought it might be fun to learn how to sew. So, I took a sewing class and strongly disliked EVERY minute of it. I stuck out the 6 weeks, because I am a rule follower :) and actually felt like I was back in school taking a college course. Not fun and all I have to show for it is an ugly skirt.

4. I was a cheerleader for six years and did not understand the sport until... well, ?!?!?! :)

5. I worked at McRaes (Belk) for one month at Christmas my senior year of high school. Football season had just ended, and I thought I would now have time for a part-time job :) HA!!! I quickly learned retail was NOT for me. I was the youngest worker, so I was fortunate enough to get the pits of a schedule because all of the older ladies would switch their bad work days with me :( Again, being the rule follower that I am, I would never "tattle" on them :) I also got to dust and do such things like that in "better sports ware". I was able to stick out the Christmas season, but thank goodness I picked up on something. I discovered that other workers wanted more hours... so what did I do? I gave them mine and worked less :) That might have possibly been breaking a rule, but sometimes there are emergencies :)

6. I worked at Pep's Point as a slide "conductor" for 4 summers. I told kids when to "go" or "wait". I did not love this job either... Every day when I got to work, I would ask the owner "If you need for someone to go home, I will?" I would get there at 9 a.m. and was usually leaving by lunch--ha. So, I did technically have a summer job, as requested by my parents, I just figured out ways to get off early :)--notice a trend with me and jobs?

7. I wish I had time to work out 3-4 hours a day like I did in high school. Not sure I would do it, but at least the thought is there :)

8. I knicked Kenadie's finger once at a dr. appointment in Jackson. I then attempt to calmly move us to the bathroom, where I proceeded to pass out :( Thank goodnes for the "undercover" nurse that happened to be in there with her child.

9. I was given a "good citizen" award from a police officer in D.C. while touring the Capitol :)

10. I was an avid TY beanie baby collector in high school. Aaron and I would seek out various beanie baby conventions to attend ,haha. If a store just got new ones, I was there, in line to get mine :)
