Ok....that seems easy enough....I think?
1) I AM A CHILD OF GOD! I love the Lord with all my heart and am amazed everyday by all the blessings he has bestowed upon my family and I
2) I am from a family of 8 children....5 girls and 3 boys. I am number 7 in the line-up and we range in age from our oldest brother turning 57 on Wednesday, to our youngest sister turning 41 this October.
3) I have an addiction.....I am a closet LOL CATS lover!
4) When I was 7, I wanted to use deodorant like my older brothers and sisters, but my mom wouldn't let me, saying I was too young and didn't need it. However, I thought differently. So I went and got a can of deodorant to spray on underneath my armpits, only to find out that it WASN'T deodorant, but a can of............PURPLE SPRAY PAINT! Yup, you read that right......PURPLE SPRAY PAINT! ROFLOL! At least I can laugh about it........now!
5) I have my Career Studies Certificate in Sign Communication and worked for the public school system as a Teaching Assistant/Interpreter in the Special Education Department
6) I play the alto horn and was a member of the Divisional Youth Timbrels for The Salvation Army. I am not in this video as I could not find one that I was in, but wanted to give you a glimpse of what we did all those (ahem) 20-something years ago
7) I am a DEADLIEST CATCH fan and am NOT ashamed to admit it! Go, Sig!!!
8) I picked up a hitch-hiker ONCE and will NEVER do it again! My friend at the time, thought it would be a nice idea, which it was for about a nano-second. I will never forget the feeling of TERROR I had the entire time, not knowing if I would make our 2 mile drive out alive. (insert physcho shower scene music here)
9) I don't like FEET! EEEWW! Don't ask me to spend a girl's day at the spa having pedicures. BLECH....I just can't do it! I know.....WeIrD!
10) I am 6'1". We grow BIG in our family! Six out of the eight of us are all over 6' tall. the other tow are runts! LOL

ReplyDeletePurple paint??? :) I'm sure you saw my Honest Scraps - SORRY I didn't name you I thot you already did it ... silly me. :)
Thanks Laura, I will work on the challenge you have given me.
ReplyDeleteI knew you were tall, but I didn't think over 6 ft. Most of your family too, wow!
Sign language assistant for special ed. class...that is neat. I've got a friend here that teaches in the schools. Her hubby is deaf. It's pretty neat to watch them. He reads lips though so I can talk to him too.
Purple spray paint on the armpits...now that is epic. I just laughed hard about that one.
Had a fun 4th. Pictures later.
Take care,
Nannette
Purple spray can?
ReplyDeleteErr, I shall call you "Barney Armpits" from now on :D
My husband watches "Deadliest Catch" eeevery single day :o) he has it on DVR on both televisions oy!
Shh, don't tell him but I like the show too ;) but poor crabs, runn.. runn crabbies!!
Oh, thank you for tagging me. You're a lovely pal who finds entertainment in making me a victim :P luv ya!
Laura,
ReplyDeleteThat video was fun! I like the innocent girlish dance routine. It is nice not being offended by to much “body language” in the performance. I am not big on sitting and watching women dancing in front of my husband.
6’ tall…towering siblings. I would LIKE to be taller. I have noticed that weight on taller women often does not look like weight at all…they balance it out so well. THAT would work for me!
I guess you would not like to wash feet as Jesus did…I would not mind some, but some I would feel kinda awkward about.
♥Hope
Oh yeah, thanks for all the WAY too sweet things you wrote about me, dear Laura. You are very kind!
ReplyDelete♥Hope
Sweet Hope~
ReplyDeleteWriting sweet things about you is EASY! And yes, I would wash the feet of Jesus without hesitation. However, it is not something I would just run up and do to someone, but if asked, I would!
Thank you for stopping by. It is always a pleasure when you visit! :D
