25 Random Things About Me

Kelly McCausey over at Spakplugging’s WAHM 2.0 has tagged me for the “25 Random Things About Me” meme that has been making the blog circles.  So here goes:

1. I have lived in 6 decades since I was born at the tail end of the 50′s! Wow, I’m old.

2. I have had 14 dogs in my life along with 3 cats, 1 snake, 8 hamsters, 1 gerbil, 2 rabbits, 4 guinea pigs, & untold amounts of fish. Can you tell I’m an animal nut?

3. I have been married twice (both disasters). The first was for 7 months to my high school art teacher. The second, over 20 years.

4-I am 1/4 Cherokee Native American (I know I don’t look it) along with English, Irish & German. In other words, I’m a mutt!

5-The first real home that I bought all by myself was this little old mobile home. I fixed it up really cute and still miss it sometimes (although I never want to live in a trailer again!)

6-I don’t think I have ever truly been in love. Sad huh?

7-I am double jointed. I can put my legs around my neck & I use my feet like hands to pick up stuff.

8-I worked at CBN and have talked to Pat Robertson several times. Boy, I could tell some stories…..

9-I have been on TV probably about half a dozen times (mostly CBN).

10-My first television experience was when I was 8. I was on a local TV kids show called “The Jim and Tammy Show” that was hosted by the later notorious Jim and Tammy Faye Baker (Remember the PTL scandal?)

11-My 2 daughters’ birthdays are 3 days apart (and 3 years).

12- I have always been artistic. As a kid in school, I use to draw pictures in class & sell them to the other students for a quarter.

13- I am a descendent of Captain John Ratcliffe who sailed here in the 1600′s (watch Disney’s Pochohantas if you want to know who John Ratcliffe was, although he wasn’t really a bad guy.)

14-I am also 3rd cousin to Elvis Presley.

15-I actually do believe in the Law of Attraction. It’s not woo-woo. It’s science. And although the New-Agers have claimed it, it’s often talked about in the Bible.

16-Before I die, I want to try para-sailing.

17-I actually took Disco dance lessons in the late 70′s. I still love listening to Disco.

18-I am totally not athletic at all but I do love swimming and could live in the water!

19-I am a total sci-fi nut. I love “Ghost Hunters”, old “Twilight Zone” shows, “Lost” & anything Star Trek.

20-I rarely watch TV anymore. I usually listen to podcasts or read instead.

21-I LOVE to read and wish there was some way I could make that a career. I’m usually reading 2-3 books at any given time.

22- I sometimes don’t think I’m feminine enough. I don’t like to shop, don’t care much for clothes, decorating or celebrity gossip. I’m not very emotional. I tend to gravitate and feel more comfortable around men at parties.

23-I don’t consider myself psychic but I have had times where I just knew things before they happened. My mom is the same way.

24-The doctors always told me I had a body that was made for bearing children. All my pregancies were easy, I delivered exactly on the due dates, & even though I had big babies, 8 pounds to over 10 pounds, my labors were very fast at about an hour or so.

25-My grandparents lived in a huge 6 bedroom old Victorian with 4 porches in Athens, WV. We were all convinced the place was haunted from the weird stuff that would happen there. I still have nightmares about that house!

Ok, hope that wasn’t too boring for you. On to today’s business tip:
