10 Random Things About Me...

1. I have a not-so-closeted obsession with Michael Bolton and many late-80s & early 90s glam-rockers (Bret Michaels, Sebastian Bach, Mike Tramp, etc).
2. I was Alice in Christmasland in the 2nd grade, which confirmed my then-suspicion that I was the most important person in my entire elementary school.
3. I'm one of the laziest people you will ever meet. Seriously. I will die of thirst rather than walk 5 feet to get a drink. Or even lean across the couch to reach it for that matter.
4. I skipped kindergarten when I was 5 and started 1st grade. Further evidence that I was the coolest person at Chesterfield Elementary.
5. I grew up in a rural town that I hated. I dreamed of living somewhere with sidewalks and a Dairy Queen I could walk to. All my life's ambitions realized in my 20s. How divine.
6. I started smoking my senior year in high school and smoked a pack a day for 10 years. I still miss it almost every day.
7. My first real job was working in the donut hut at Stony Creek Orchard. I scooped lard all day. I didn't eat cake donuts for 10 years after that.
   
8. Prior to the donut gig, I was known by my family as the Pucky Queen because I scooped poop at a horse farm down the street (I told you it was rural).
9. I lost 85 lbs 4 years ago on the Beaumont Diet. I gained 20 back AFTER giving birth - riddle me that :(
10. My sister & I were obsessed with the musical Annie. We used to put the record on and do performances on our front porch. I also had several of her costumes - the party dress, karate suit, etc - and wore them regularly to school and family events.
