I’ve done this post in the past and I am going to update it a little bit today. Just some random facts about me. Here it goes.
I am a list maker. But they have to be neat lists — even numbered lists are best.
I played only one role in my short lived theatrical career. Sister Sophia in the John Glenn High School musical production of The Sound of Music. I was told by one person that “nuns don’t wear glasses: but I am fairly blind. The glasses stayed.
My guilty pleasure is binge watching television shows. Recent ones have included Monster: The Ed Gein Story (which I watched because of Charlie Hunnan but it is truly disturbing), Blue Heelers ( an old Australian cop show) and The Great British Baking Show.
My choices in music are varied — Bach to Florida to Broadway musicals to Chicago.
I wrecked my brother’s Spyder bike with the cool banana seat when my friend Beth Bacon (yep!) came to visit me in New Concord one time. The front wheel started wobbling like crazy and I knew it was going to happen. I flew over the handle bars. This was before helmets were a thing. It was not pretty. A nice guy in a pick up truck stopped, picked us up and took us back to our house. I was a bloody mess and still have that scar on my knee but I DID NOT FAINT! That was huge.
Speaking of scars— I was THAT mom that ran over her son’s foot with the vacuum cleaner. It was horrible. Aaron was always stealthy as a toddler and he snuck up and was someplace unexpected as I vacuumed. Poor Aaron still has a little scar on his foot .
My first paying job was delivering The Sandusky Register in North Fairfield, Ohio. My brother, Mark, and I split the route. He had to play the heavy a couple times when collection time came.
We used to have a rabbit named Sniffy. Sniffy would often crawl under the front porch when my sister cleaned the cage. We used a stick called Stoney Stonewall to encourage Sniffy to come out from under the porch.
I took Basic Computer for Beginners in college. I went into the final with an A. I got a C in the course. What does that tell you?
I won the Snacker Packer award in 4H and still have the little nameplate off of the trophy some 55 years later. My claim to fame.
How about a random fact about you? Leave one in the comments and let everyone know one random thing about you!!!Thanks for playing along.
