Tina Morgan (Slentz) I guess shortly after I married Pat, it's all his fault. I found the video tape and will bring it to the next meeting.

Tina, that just cracks me up about the sleepwalking. My brother in law, Kenny, has done that in the past and Teresa said that he was preaching in his sleep one night (he IS a preacher, by the way, for anyone who doesn't know him) saying JESUS IS REAL!!!! She also said that his clothes were on backwards when he woke up!!!Hilarious!!!! Jane, loved your 10 random things and I have just enjoyed reading everyone's....I look forward to checking it daily....

Debbie,
Yes, we had many bunking parties at Tina's, but somehow I don't think we did much sleeping. And if someone had been acting "unusal" would we have even noticed they were "asleep" or awake???
I am really enjoying this also, it is amazing some of the stories ya'll have to tell.
I can't wait to see everyone in person and hear more stories and see pictures and just get to know each other again or maybe for the first time???

3. I have been truly blessed in this world with a wonderful family and friends. I love each and every one of you.

4. I now have six beautiful grandchildren who have enriched my life beyond belief. Like Kim I kept Jace (my daughter's first son) every day until she got off of work.

5. Jim and I have been married for 33years and have the best of times and the worst of times but for the past 20 years it has been mostly the best.

6. I love and collect lighthouses. My bedroom is done entirely in lighthouses. My favoite vacation spot is the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I would love to retire there.

7. I have never been out of the country. I would love to go to Hawaii and visit Pearl Harbor.

8. Kim Waldron Parsley, Shelia Baird, Kristy Davis, and Nancy Champion were the best room mates anyone could ask for. We took Arkansas State by Storm.

9. I love my job being an accountant working for Marriott International. What a great company it is to work for. I have been here since this business opened 9 years ago. I am able to stay at some of the most beautiful hotels in the world.

10. I intend on hitting the lottery before I die and leave lots of money to all my family and friends. You all just keep checking your mailbox. The check will be coming.

1. At the University of Michigan I drove a sunset orange Fiat X-19. A Fiat is AKA, fix-it-again-Tony. The car was fast and so was I in those days.

2. A Chuck Mangione band member sent a limo to Ann Arbor from Pine Knob (concert venue) to pick me up and bring me to the concert and after party. Now I know why Chuck wears those Oh-h so tall hats :-) !!!

3. Engineering students weekends started @ Dooleys on Friday evenings and ended with a football game on Saturday evening with 100,000 other people. These were the largest parties I've ever been to.

4. When I first moved to Harlem, NY there were so many roaches, I started doing research to see if in case of a nuclear attack, a roach coat would protect me, ha ha!!

5. My last chance to see Marvin Gaye at Radio City Music Hall was spoiled by a school project. The next week, his dad shot him dead.

6. I quit a job at the Lamont Doherty Geological Observatory because they were planning to send me on an expedition to Antarctica. And you know black people don't like water or cold weather.

7. I had three separate honeymoons; 1) West Palm Beach, Fl, 2) Aruba, and 3)Honolulu & Kauai, HI.

8. I've always wanted to run a NYC marathon but the year I was training, I got hit by an elevator (made a sandwich out of me). Of course, I survived with a 6 inch scar on my shoulder where the doctors had to re-attach it.

9. I didn't marry my college sweetheart, the 2nd love of my life because he was already married. His lost!

10. I danced @ the water's edge in Bermuda @ Frankie Beverly & Maze concert (Happy Feelings...) and danced on a cruise ship two feet from Brian McKnight. I've traveled to all 50 states more than once and 5 out of 7 continents. It would have been 6 (Antarctica)!

Debbie,

I will send a check on Tue. The day got away shopping at Saks (40% off sales) and doing errands. I am refining my speech title too.

Dale Nunnery, Family Guy is definately at the top of my list, which character do you like the most?

Renee, thanks for those kind words about my having Sunday dinner with you and your family before your mom died. She was a wonderful cook. I put a recipe on the site, I'm going to dedicate it to your Mom. And that book, it's possible.

Carol Manley, I didn't backpack across Europe but we Eurorailed across it on those high speed trains. The country side was a blurr, sometimes. :-)

2. I managed a salon for Regis Hair Salon then opened my own salon in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
3. Before my husband went into the oil business, he use to build yachts for the rich and famous in Florida. When he would finish drawing a yacht and they would build it, he would have to test them in the waters. I was asked on a test run for a Yacht for the owner of Wendy's. He was extremely nice and told me to wave at the people like I owned it. Ha
4. My husband christened a boat JAMI while I was pregnant with our child and I loved the spelling so much that I named our daughter Jami Leigh after that yacht.
5. I, like Debbie Holland, have also had kidney stones which I might add is worse than childbirth.
6. Chris Evert Lloyd and I were pregnant at the same time, due on the same date, and had the same doctor in Ft. Lauderdale. He delivered her baby two days before mine and went on vacation leaving me with a strange doctor.
7.My first husband was a terrible womanizer and being the smart girl that I am married him anyway at 28 years old. It lasted a few years and then I divorced him. Married my second husband a couple of years later and just had our 19th wedding anniversary May 20th which he forgot about. Ha
8.I started restoring 100 year old homes when we married [my passion not his]
9.Have been to Disneyland more times than I can count
10. Always wanted to learn how to play the piano but never did so I own a baby grand, 2 box grand piano's and 4 victorian 100 year old organs all work but no one to play them. Ha

I now tag Iris Cagle Russom!
