Double Post of 25 Random Things

I am posting the 25 random things about me that I wrote on FaceBook because alot of people in my life are not on Facebook. If you have already read the ones on facebook, I added 1 more to keep you interested.

1. I always had a perm growing up. My Mom was obsessed with giving me perms. I was the white kid with an afro in elementary school.
2. I was shot in the head when I was 7 or 8.
3. I always wanted a powerful job where I would rock the world.
4. I have a powerful job that rocks my world. I am a mother to the best 4 kids anywhere!
5. I love to drive. Mostly fast (except when kids are in the car :)). I want to drive a racecar around a track and see how fast I can go.
6. I have the smartest cat ever. He goes on walk with us.
7. I teach piano. I am teaching 11 kids right now. I love it.
8. I don't remember a time when I couldn't play the piano.
9. I love Perry Mason shows. I have seen all of them many times.
10. I once (or more then once) drove from Orem to Sandy in under 20 minutes.
11. I use to be terrified of flying. The first flight I ever took is a complete blank. I remember gripping the arm rest before take off and the next thing I remember is picking up my luggage.
12. Mary Higgins Clark has autographed my collection of her books. She was at Deseret Book (at the ZCMI mall) and I brought 15 of her books. It took a while to sign them all so we had a conversation. It was awesome.
13. I would love to see a real autopsy.
14. I have been to Las Vegas once. Jason and I went before we had kids. I felt guilty the whole time. We put a quarter in a quarter toss machine and it got stuck. The machine started shotting out quarters. We got like $40 bucks and I thought we would get in trouble.
15. I have been married for 14 (almost 15) years to my best friend.
16. I have never had a broken bone. Lots of stitches, though.
17. When I first saw my husband a voice said, "You should get to know him." I was in the 10th grade and in Ms. Beck's journalism class.
18. I have a strong dislike of feet.
19. Reading is one of my favorite things to do.
20. My favorite book right now (and has been for awhile) is The Poisonwood Bible.
21. I enjoy doing laundry. There is something very theraputic about folding, hanging up, putting away the clean clothes.
22. I always have a lip moisturizing chapstick (with the blue wrapping) in my pocket.
23. I have always wanted red hair. I am not brave enough to go all red, so I just highlight.
24. I cried for days when our puppy Baxter died. I had no idea you could get so attached to a pet.
25. It has taken me over a week to commit to posting this list. But, I will buy shoes or purses at first look.

26. I love Diet Coke. I tried quitting once. I have submitted to my addiction.
