I've Been Tagged...

Dana Diamond tagged me. I'm supposed to come up with five fun or unusual facts about me.

Boring. But remember this is all DANA DIAMOND'S FAULT!

But here's my attempt:

1) My brothers were 10 and 13 years older than me, but I was creative. The oldest brother, Rich was being mean to me one morning when I was just trying to watch cartoons probably at the crack of dawn. He insisted I turn the TV down because his room was on the other side of the TV wall. I waited for Rich to go back to sleep, then crept quietly into his room and sprayed shaving cream all over his face. I forgot all about it until he started screaming when he saw himself in the mirror. My parents thought it was hysterical...And they are clearly to be blamed for my twisted behavior.

2) I ran over my mom's foot in a Volkswagen when I was three years old. I have no memory of this so my family is probably making it up! Actually I was just in the car when it rolled back over my mom's foot. But I still get blamed!

3) My husband and I took our two oldest kids to the mountains when they were little, about 3 and 1 years old I think. What did we NOT take? Chains. Yep, we got stuck in a surprise snowstorm in a Ford Aerostar van. To this day, I don't know how we made it down the mountain.

4) I went to a Radio Control Car Expo that my husband and three sons were racing in. They were videotaping the event. I had no interest in radio control cars, except that my husband and kids were involved. It was a hot day and I went in shorts and a little top :-) A week or two later, my husband went to buy the video because he was in it. Only the guys at the store, who knew him, were LAUGHING saying he had to see this tape. My husband bought it, watched it and was stunned. He had ended up on the cutting room floor while there was lots of tape of me. My poor husband! Everyone tormented him. I was embarrassed! I still believe they were promoting the event as Family Entertainment and I was the "mom" on the videotape.

5) I threw out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game as promotion for an upcoming booksigning celebrating the release of a new book. I hadn't thrown a ball in years, at least not since I had developed Rheumatoid Arthritis and I knew I'd make a fool of myself! I ended up throwing the pitch to a Mascot who had to make a flying dive but he did catch the pitch! The things I'll do to sell books! The bookseller suggested skydiving for the next year. I politely declined!

Okay you're turn! Tell me something interesting about yourself!
