25 Random things about me.

Lisa, at My New Thing To Do has just suggested that we all post some random things about us for our fellow bloggers and readers. So here goes:

1. When I was 7 yrs old I had a horrible case of the chicken pox and ended up with a scar on the pupil of my left eye. I began wearing ONE hard contact lens on that eye when I was 11 and wore it for 2 years.

2. I was a "Pepperette" in high school, grades 9, 10 and 11 and was chosen by the squad as drill leader for my Senior year, when I was blackballed by one of our sponsers and not chosen to be on the team. Talk about devastation! I was devastated, my teammates were devastated, our other sponsers were devastated etc. He decided I wasnt thin enough for his liking. I went on to join the debate team and became a state qualifying cross ex debater. He went on to become a cocaine addicted lounge lizard and is probably in jail somewhere. LOL (or laying in a gutter)

3. I was born in Kalispell Montana and lived on a ranch when I was very young in a house that was built by my dad and my uncle.

4. I once helped a baby bear cub into the backseat of our station wagon while we were driving through Yellowstone park. Much to my mothers dismay!

5. I missed 40 days out of the 2nd quarter of my Junior year in high school, I was skiing...

6. I always wanted to be an attorney and still do.

7. I went into Nursing because I was very good at science and it was a goal that was achievable by someone who was looking to get out of a horrible marraige and still be able to make a living as a single parent.

8. I am very very good at what I do, have proven myself as a leader and am often used as a resource person for new employees and new nurses in the ER.

9. I want to start a "doggie day care" in the next 9 years so I can "retire" from nursing and still make enough money to pay the bills.

10. I spent 21 yrs of living hell in an abusive marraige with a man whom I loathed. From about year 5 until today.

11. Red is my new favorite color

12. Aspen Colorado and Ocean City MD are two of my favorite places on earth

13. I have always wanted to take a cruise to somewhere tropical

14. John Denver is my favorite musician

15. I used to speak fluent German (took 6 yrs in high school and 2 yrs on college)

16. I LOVE to play softball and was on the first recorded female team at my old Alma Mater (Breannas current college)

17. I am a HUGE Denver Bronco fan and when I was in my early teens I used to keep very careful statistics on the team.

18. I once met Bobby Anderson, number 11, fullback for the Denver Broncos and he signed a football for me.

19. I have had 2 vehicles stolen, one was recovered intact, the other was rolled, stripped and set on fire.

20. I have owned 5 basset hounds over the last 28 years and I have realized that my all time favorite canine breed is a dachshund.

21. I once stood in line wearing a paper bracelet to get Garth Brooks concert tickets to see him in concert in Tulsa OK on a Saturday night.

22. my favorite foods are crab legs, macaroni and cheese and Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream.

23. I have always wanted to own my own horse. And I am the only member of my immediate family that has never had the chance.

24. I am a registered Cherokee Indian (along with both of my parents and my sisters) and have been the recipient of Indian Health services and Indian benefits when I lived in Oklahoma and Kansas.

25. I met my husband Dana on the INTERNET!! Neither of us were looking to make a match online but over the course of a year and a half we did, and we married.

Ok, I am passing this challenge on to my blogger friends, start posting some of those random things about YOU!
