I just bought my tickets and booked my room...whoo hoo!
Here are twenty random things:
1. I had to carry a first grader to the office today because he wouldn't leave the classroom. Needless to say, one day of ISS turned into two for the trouble. :)
2. I have been 165 mph on my ninja without batting an eyelash.
3. I can't stand when people speak using double negatives. I don't have no tolerance for that!
4. I was the person who named our mascot Farmer Joe and the first person to wear the farmer head. (He had some unsightly moles by the way...)
5. I flunked out of college the first go round. Who would have thought I would ever be working on a doctoral degree?
6. I do not like beans of any kind and always eat lobster for my birthday.
7. Ik sprek Nederlands. (I speak Dutch.)
8. I am a wino, but I have never liked beer. I have had two beers in my entire life. One was in high school and the other was on a booze cruise in Jamaica.
9. I am probably the only person left in America who is not on Myspace or Facebook.
10. Each night before bed I must have my chapstick and my ear plugs. I sleep alone, but I got used to wearing them a few years ago.
11. My dog, Peanut Butta, has his fur shaved into a mohawk. He didn't want to stand while I was cutting his fur, so BAM...mohawk it is!
12. Texting? Great. Talking on the phone? Not so much.
13. I get impatient in meetings when people get off topic, although I maintain my cool.
14. Mac computers are the shhhhh.
15. Because I am so busy, I save all of my newspapers and read them on the weekend.
16. You will not get me into a Sci-Fi movie, but I like all other genres. We often sneak our "hooch" in.
17. My son's name is Sebastiaan. (Se-Boss-T-On) I was actually trying to pick a Dutch name that would not be too strange for Americans! The shortened version is Bas, which sounds like Boss. Hence, I am always having to explain that he is not really the BOSS!
18. When I was in the classroom, I had quite a menagerie of pets. I have had chinchillas, bunnies, hamsters, hairless rats, crabs, millipedes, lizards, praying mantises, butterflies, silkworms, and frogs.
19. I am trying to come up with one more thing to write so I can go to bed.
20. I like honesty. I have a pretty thick skin, so I can take things in stride versus taking them personally.
