This is me. 

1.    I am 5’6

2.    somewhere between 110 and 120lbs…depends on the day

3.    red hair—cherry cordial to be exact—who knows what the color really

4.    shitty hazel eyes—green when I do the contact thing

5.    I was born on July 3, 1974

6.    means I am a cancer

7.    yes, I fit everything they say about people born under the sign

8.    I am my parents only child together

9.    I have 6 sisters and 4 brothers.  

       My mother had 7 children with her first husband (Don, Sharyl, Tom, Carol, Bob, 

       Barbara, and John.)  My dad had 3 children with his first wife (Sandy, Lisa, and Lori.)

10.  I grew up knowing I was my dad’s last shot for a boy—ha, he couldn’t do it but now has 

       only grandsons--none of which he has anything to do with—though he does send checks

       at Christmas

11.   I attended my parents wedding—I was 2

12.   my parents divorced when I was 11

13.   I have had 2 step-moms and 1 step-dad (though I should not count this worthless piece   

        shit….yes I am bitter!!!!!)

14.   for the most part I had a great childhood

15.   we lived on a farm my first 11 years

16.   I snuck a peek when my parents butchered their own animals

17.   I still can not eat meat wrapped in white freezer paper

18.   if fact, I would be a vegetarian if I didn’t like meat so much

19.   I often ran away from home as a child—to the county park across from the farm

20.   I once found a wooden leg there—not attached to anyone—I didn’t run away any more

21.   I have lived in Wisconsin all of my life.  Almost…

22.   the move to Kentucky lasted 24 hours

23.   I had Brandon Scott (15) when I was 15

24.   the pregnancy was the worst thing I have ever been through

25.   Brandon was worth every moment of it

26.   I married his dad on September 28, 1991

27.   the wedding was amazing—so pink and pretty I could puke thinking about it now

28.   the marriage was not

29.   I married the Native American version of Joe Dirt—sorry Rob—it is the truth

30.   I left him on August 8, 1992

31.   we are now friends and he is mullet free

32.   I don’t want to get married again

33.   my mother died on my 18^th birthday

34.   I did not deal well with it then; therefore, I still do not

35.   2005 was the first year since then that I did not get a princess cake from my sister—she

        thinks it makes me feel better

36.   I met the love of my life on October 15, 1992

37.   it was a bit soon but he had all the right lines at all the right times

38.   that didn’t last very long!

39.   but long enough to have “the little boys”

40.   I have a son named after Commander William Riker of the Starship Enterprise—Riker

        (11)

41.   I am not a trekkie

42.   I also have a son named Talon (9)—don’t ask—I was young

43.   I gave them nice normal middle names so that one day I would could call them Alan and

        Michael if they wished

44.   I have 2 names—never let your grandmother name your kids

45.   I have always wanted a girl—her name would’ve been Rayna Ona Rose…hey, it is no 

        worse than the boy’s names

46.   I don’t want her enough to do it again

47.   it gives me great joy to embarrass my boys

48.   they tell me I am a fruitcake

49.   sometimes I agree with them

50.   I have 2 tattoos

51.   one on my ankle -1994- sword, heart, rose—I don’t like it anymore

52.   one on my lower back – 2003 – who knows—I think it looks like the female

        reproductive system

53.    I don’t think I will get another

54.    I have finally realized that my tastes change too much to do something so very

         permanent

55.    I sometimes like very girly things

56.    like pretty fingernails—any color will do

57.    but my love of gardening makes having nice nails hard to have

58.    I wish I could get a rose to live through the winter

59.    sometimes I work part-time at a garden center

60.    if I had more money, I would own my own garden center

61.    of course, I could do it better

62.    I would have more money if I did not work part-time at the garden

         center—my flower addiction forces me to spend more than I make there.

63.    I have 5 piercings

64.    nothing exciting—all in my ears

65.    I hardly ever wear earrings

66.    I don’t like jewelry

67.    I take that back—I do, I just lose it

68.    I did have a beautiful engagement ring

69.    I threw it back at him—it fell down the heat register

70.    the engagement has since ended

71.    we get along much better now

72.    I am a lover of all things romantic—especially movies

73.    I have been known to maybe cry during a good movie

74.    ah hell, I cry when “Peter” comes home—stupid coffee commercial

75.    my favorite movie is The Princess Bride

76.    “As you wish” is all it takes….kidding

77.    I think that romance novels are a complete waste of time—same story, different names

78.    I love romance novels

79.    I am a music nut

80.    I like just about everything I hear, except I wish the boys would get R. Kelly out of my

         closet…it is a horrible song

81.    “In your eyes” by Peter Gabriel is my favorite

82.    Jeremy learned to play it on his guitar for me—sometimes he was/is good

83.    I don’t really like sports

84.    except for watching Brandon wrestle

85.    I can yell really loud

86.    don’t have a clue what I am yelling…just whatever the fella next to me yells

87.    I love to go fishing

88.    maybe not so much for the fish part but the being next to the water part

89.    I want to go whale watching more than anything

90.    but I have a great fear of the water

91.    maybe I should learn how to swim

92.    my favorite color is black

93.    not because I am gothic or anything—just think it works best

94.    for the moods or the looks I not sure

95.    when given the choice of long road or short road I always takes the long road

96.    usually because I am lost

97.    I tend to worry much too much

98.    mostly about anything and everything

99.    “it” has either happened to me or to someone I know

100.  maybe next time I will get it right
