TEN THINGS -- TAGGED BY AMY

Amy has tagged me. I am going to try to play along, but don't know how successful I will be. I have to list ten things that I have done, that perhaps no one else has done. Here goes:

1. I have been bar-hopping and had nothing to drink but Diet Pepsi. (Since Ronda and some of my other friends were with me, I know they have done this too, so maybe this won't count.)

2. I broke my ephithysis (cartiledge in the ankle) while pretending to be a horse and unsuccessfully jumping over a plastic block. (I was in 5th grade.)

3. I have been the State of Maine Typing Champion, and then placed in "Beginning Typing" for my freshman-year of college. (After much protesting on my part, they moved me to Advanced Typing, where I got an A+).

4. I have been crowned Ms. Maine FBLA. (Future Business Leaders of America)

5. I participated in the Maine Sea Goddess Pageant in 1986, and the unique part about it is that my Navy Escort still contacts me from time to time.

6. While roughing it with Alice in Jonesport, I peed in my shoe.

7. I had two whammies against me during the birth of my first son: the placenta was "misplaced", making delivery difficult, and my son was born face side up, which is unusual, and makes delivery even more difficult. (I made it through over two hours of pushing with only 1/2 dose of pain mediation.)

8. I have never been drunk, and I have never even tried to smoke. (Does that count as two?)

9. I met my husband during a vacuum cleaner demonstration. (Alice was involved in that one, too.)

10. I have worked in the same profession for over 20+ years, but I still don't know what I want to be "when I grow up". (I don't want to be a paralegal.)
