Mygetaway | Wednesday, November 20, 2002 - 12:57 pm     I was going to cheat and just repeat my first 14 things, but I went WAY back for some of these.. 1-14 were added after I wrote 15-27. 1. I LOVED reading as a kid, and used to ride my bike over 2 miles to the library when I was 9. (It was so much safer back then.. ) 2. On one of those trips, a bird pooped on me and I screamed out my brothers name because I thought it was him. 3. I started babysitting at age 12, bought my own 10 speed bike, and a 35mm camera. 4. I got a letter in JR. High for being the Football team Manager. 5. I was one of the main photographers for the yearbook in Jr. High. 6. I once made out in the dishroom of the hospital where I worked. 7. I never had a boyfriend, or was kissed until age 16. 8. My Mom was "The COOL Mom" and took us to Rocky Horror picture show, dropped us off in Seattle for the day for concerts like Boston, Journey, etc. 9. She even let us scream out the windows on the way home. 10. I miss that Mom and those fun days. 11. I didn't get to be the kind of Mom to my son that I wanted to be, because being a single parent was really hard work and there never seemed to be enough time. 12. I cry at Hallmark etc. commercials too. 13. I wish I lived on a bluff overlooking the ocean, with the mountains behind me. 14. I've never been to the East coast, but made it as far as The Dakotas and Iowa I think. 15. I used to collect magnets, tie tacks and buttons from everyplace I "vacationed" at. 16. I used to do a major house cleaning once a year or so, and throw away perfectly good items that I felt were just cluttering the house. 17. I used to go out and buy MAJOR purchases when I was depressed. 18. I bought myself an engagement ring once because I liked the style and thought I'd never get one. 19. I never did get an actual engagement ring, we wear matching Black Hills Gold wedding bands. 20. I took my son to Mazatlan Mexico for his 10th Birthday, just him and I. 21. Mazatlan was my guilty pleasure. I went three times in two years just to sit on the beach and feel the sun and watch the ocean. 22. For five years my family occupied three different houses on three corners of an intersection. 23. My son went to the same grade school that I did, until we moved to another city 35 miles away. 24. I threw my first huge family Thanksgiving dinner after leaving home (I think at age 24) while I was on a liquid fasting diet. 25. I moved out on my own at age 19. 26. From age 8 until I left home, I had to share a basement bedroom with my brother who is 15 months younger than I am. 27. I went on a big trip to California and Disneyland at age 25 with a friend, without our kids. (They were only 3 and 4 but still..LOL) |

My sister-in-law had her kidney removed, my step-daughter was killed in a car wreck, my mother was diagnosed with Pick’s disease, I was injured is a car wreck, and my son got put in prison all within a 15 month time frame. 17.
