zestfiveOkay, so this isn't the 25 things but it's close enough!
Write 16 random things about yourself...and then send the note to 16 friends, including the friend who sent this to you.

1) When I was growing up, my favorite color was red and my favorite number was 5. 5 is still my favorite number.
2) Aside from my Dad's truck which I bought from his estate, I've never spent more than $3200 on a car.
3) My son was born on Easter (one day past his due date) of that year.
4) My goal is to work part time in a small progressive college town about an hour away from a metropolitan area.
5) I hated elementary school, I have many stories about my bad experiences. I'm surprised I enjoy learning so much.
6) I have authority issues (perhaps it's related to my elementary school experience), I keep them in check.... most of the time.
7) I want to live in the middle of nowhere in the woods right in the center of the city.
8) I've only lived in 4 counties in Minnesota my whole life, in eight different houses and apartments.
9) I've lived in my house for over 15 years the longest I've ever lived anywhere.
10) I currently have two cats, Lady(she came named that way) and Jinx(he plays fetch), before that I had Jasmine (Jaz) she lived for 18 years and is buried in my front yard.
11) When I was 18 I ran for my local beauty pageant, not because I wanted to win but because my sponsor asked if she could sponsor me. My best friend also ran but she wanted to win. It was for Queen Dog Days! snicker....they've since renamed it "River days"
12) I had my first name changed when I was twelve because my sisters had my mom's name in their names but I didn't. I suffered from middle child syndrome. I often felt left out, especially that time they forgot me when they all went for a walk, they didn't realize I was missing until they were on the way back.
13) My first concert I attended when I was a kid was The Go-Go's. I was 13 years old
14) The biggest thing I ever won was a $500 shopping spree to Goodman Jewelers.
15) I love new school supplies, perhaps it's because of the endless possibilities.
16) Most people think that Librarians have a very organized house, I'm not one of them. I think it's because there are always so many more things that are infinitely more interesting than housework.

Date: 2009-01-29 05:44 pm (UTC)I haven't been so smart as fortunate to have a good mechanic who buys older model imports and fixes them up. Traditionally they have about 100k on them and I drive them to the next 100k. I've also had hand me downs from my parents. The mechanic keeps them running! I usually have two because I need reliable transportation. Currently I'm driving my Dad's 1992 honda civic that gets 48mpg. He gave it to me after buying his truck (the one I now also own)I'm hoping it lasts for another 40k.
When you come to MN you should come in the fall, that's the best time IMHO. The boundary waters canoe area (http://www.recreation.gov/wildernessAreaDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=72600&topTabIndex=Permits) is probably right up your alley!
