My DF, Darla, posted one of these about her the other day...thought it was nifty so I decided to do one as well...here goes:

25 Random Things About Me

1. I was taught Japanese in kindergarden (remember very little of it now, darn it)
2. I have a yellow-belt in Tae Kwon Do
3. Math was the bane of my existence in school (do you REALLY use that algebra?)
4. Purple is my favorite color ever…I love purple everything….except Barney the dinosaur
5. I am exceedingly shy around most people
6. I like fresh coconut but not coconut flavored stuff; ditto with bananas
7. I want to go skydiving and learn to surf
8. I have buried the needle on my speedometer before (one of those dumb HS things)
9. I have drag-raced an on-duty cop (I repeat: one of those dumb HS things…but it sure was fun!)
10. Centipedes, millipedes and earwigs completely freak me out
11. Wish I would have learned to play the violin growing up
12. Love to cook, hate doing the dishes afterward
13. I can not make fudge to save my life (just can’t do it!)

17. I still watch cartoons
18. I wish I would have done better in school and gone to college

21. My biggest fear is losing my husband or kids
22. Someday I hope I can be the person really want to be…I think I’m going in the right direction
23. I still eat raw cookie dough and eat the cake batter leftover in the bowl (unless my son beats me to it)
