Fun things about me!

So in case you can't tell I'm bored and thought this would be kind of fun...so in an effort not to bore you all to tears here are 6 random factoids about me....

1. When I was little I used to act like I was Martha Stewart. I would come up with these crazy recipe ideas and act like I was on her show and go through step-by-step (out loud of course)details of everything that I was doing. I ended up with some pretty interesting foods like celery/carrot/peanut butter sandwiches. YUM!

2. I used to take my teachers old school supplies home and decorate my bedroom. I would copy handouts that I got from school and make my brother play school with me. I loved being a "teacher" and really thought that was what I wanted to be when I grew up. SO even when I was off-track and out of school I was still "in school."

3. When I was really young I would wake up really early and do this little work-out/gymnastics thing they had on the Disney channel. I honestly thought that people in the TV could see me...so I had to make sure that I was doing the moves perfectly so the people in the TV would hire me and I could be on their show.

4. When I was in elementary school I saw a commercial about a psychic and decided that it would be a good idea to call them. So I called and I talked to this lady for a good 30 minutes...that I got for "free". I totally thought I got away with it until my mom got the phone bill. Luckily she has a sense of humor and laughed and told me never to call one again. Don't worry...I haven't...she had horrible advice and believed that I was 18.

5. I used to make animal noises and sing super loud when I was little and this resulted in some pretty messed up vocal chords. Well they got so bad that I actually got these little bumps on them. So when I was about 8 I had to get them removed. So now instead of sounding all out of breath when I talk I sound like a man. Good trade off.

Ok so all of these have been about my "early years" so i'll add a more recent one just for fun.

6. I am a certified dental assistant. The summer right before my senior year I moved to Oregon and worked for my uncles who are dentists. I decided that was my calling in life and signed up for an ROP program that I could do while I was still in high school. I graudated from the program and got a job at a grocery store. I never looked back. HAHA

So there are 6 FASCINATING facts about me. If you're reading this you get to do it too!

Whose kid are you anyways??? I so remember you calling the Physic. The things you did and we survived. Grandma Harris said she would rather raise the three boys than two girls. You were pretty easy. I think I was easy to raise to.
