I was tagged by Anna and Julie to do a meme on 8 crazy things about me. It took awhile to come up with them, as I am such a boring person.
1. When I am at work I wear skirts just about every day. I love skirts, which coming from a farm girl, may be a little odd. In fact I have around 40 skirts in my closet. Crazy! Some I have made for myself since I think skirts are probably one of the easiest articles of clothing to make.
2. I love shoes, too! Shocking, I know! I have bought most of them on sale, but a few I just had to have. In the summer I wear sandals/heels all the time and in the winter I wear boots all the time (with long skirts, of course!). I estimate that I have 49 pairs of sandals and heels, 14 pairs of boots and 3 pairs of tennis shoes. Yes, it’s a sickness. Let me tell ya, when I was pregnant and my feet grew a half-size, I was a bit worried that my shoe collection would become obsolete. Whew….thank goodness it was just water weight! My favorite brands are Franco Sarto, Nine West and Baci. Oooh, how I love the funkiness of Baci.
3. I organize my closet by color and by type of clothing article. Yes, I am anal.
4. Once when I was at a rodeo in Shawnee, OK, my sister, her friend and I had to find a ride back to our hotel in Oklahoma City late at night (as in…dawn-ish). We ended up getting a ride back with some cowboys from Missouri who were headed home. It was an interesting ride to say the least, especially when they showed us their six-shooter. They were harmless boys, but that did get me a little bit jittery at the time…
5. I was in Boston on business one time and had some free time after training. I walked to an Irish bar called the Black Rose and hoisted a few pints. A lady sat down next to me and proceeded to tell me her life story. She was having a bad day and really needed to talk, so she talked my ear off for at least 4 hours. At least I had some good beer and got to listen to a fun Irish band while listening to her woeful tale! That’s what we call Midwestern Nice…politely listening to a lady from Amsterdam tell me about her IUD, getting arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking, and her bad relationship with her boyfriend.
6. I once crashed my husband’s 3 month old brand new car. He loved that car. We were on a road trip 20+ hours from home and I was busy looking for a highway sign and didn’t see the stop light in time. I broad-sided a pick-up truck and crunched in the front end of his Acura CL. We had to get towed 2 hours to the only Acura dealership in South Carolina and then got towed to a body shop they used. I really didn’t mind that he started smoking again that night. 😉 They had the car for 2 months and we had to car pool, which was a little difficult but workable. The body shop did a good job since there were never any problems in the 5 years he had the car, but it sure did take a long time!
7. I met Brad Johnson once and didn’t know who he was. Well, most women probably wouldn’t have known, actually. He was a friendly guy and very tall.
8. I love to dance and married a guy that doesn’t. Of course there are only about a half dozen white guys that actually like to dance, so my chances of marrying one of them were extremely low anyways.
So, that’s my crazy eights!
I know who Brad Johnson is 🙂
You can borrow my dancing husband any time. I have about 12 left feet, so dancing with me is no fun. Oh, yeah…and I don’t have any rhythm, so it doesn’t matter how many feet I have anyway.
I grew up with a Brad Johnson, but I bet it’s a different one.
Thanks for sharing about yourself!
I always like learning more about you from these memes. :o)
I thought my sister had a lot of shoes with over 40, but you blow that away. LOL!
Julie tagged me, too….guess I need to do it!
[…] Jenn tagged me months ago for six little known facts about me. I did do this awhile back, so this one and this one has some bizarre stuff about me, in case you are […]
