I've been tagged...16 things
one of my creations in my high school fashion design class
I was tagged twice, once by BaubCat
and then by Retired Records
1. I was tiny when I was born, so grandma nicknamed me Bitsy, I may still have a pillowcase from her with that name embroidered on it.
2. When I was little I hated cheese, the first cheese I would eat was swiss because it was mostly holes. Now I love almost any cheese.
3. When I was a toddler, I flipped over in one of those baby floats in a pool & sank to the bottom. I remember my brother staring at me & swimming up & shouting that I was under water. Still a bit uncomfortable in water to this day.
4. I love museums; art, history, science, etc. One of my favorite places to visit as a child was the Cincinnati Art Museum. They had programs for small kids & I remember running around the galleries and especially liked the musical instruments section & the ancient Chinese Art. And Gardens too, there was a beautiful Plant Conservatory I loved in the same park (Eden Park).
5. My mother used to keep my hair short because I cried too much when she tried to comb out the tangles. I was all excited when it was growing out just before my 1st communion. Then, the weekend before she took me to have it cut into a pixie. I was so upset. My hair is the longest it’s ever been now, but I also like it very short, I think about cutting it often, but so many friends tell me how nice it looks that I haven’t done it yet. I guess there’s plenty of time for short hair when I’m a real old lady.
6. My dad was a teacher, I used to steal admit slips & hall passes & give them away to friends. My junior year, our school had a setup at lunch where a third of the school took lunch for a ½ hour & then class for an hour. Another third had class for 1 hour & lunch the last ½ hour. I was with the third that went to class for ½ hour, then lunch, then back to class. My friend who had lunch the last ½ hour wanted me to eat with her one day. We forged one of the hall passes to guidance & she came into my class to get me. My trig teacher looked at it & said “if this isn’t a forgery then I’ve never seen one” & then handed it out toward me. Everyone was staring at me, I was too embarrassed to stay, so I went & got it & left. I guess because I had straight A’s, he just let me go.
7. When I was 14, I used to lie about my age to get into movies for the kids price. Then when I was 16, I was hanging out in bars with a fake I.D. even though I looked young for my age. I.D.’s didn’t have pictures in those days, I hung out with much older people.
8. I used to have recurring nightmares in my 20’s. One usually involved being at a party or some event and one by one, all of my teeth falling out. The next one was where I would be driving and I would come to a bridge and as I started up the bridge, it would get steeper and steeper and taller and taller until I knew that when I went over the top it would be too steep for the car to stay on the road. I always woke up just as I went over the top (pretty strange considering I love roller coasters, but many of the bridges were over water). The last one also involved the car and the brakes not working. Usually it was in a parking lot and I was pulling in or out of a space and I’d have no brakes and I’d crash into something.
9. I’m addicted to sudoku and I always watch Jeopardy.
10. I’ve been green ever since the first Earth Day. I avoid pesticides. I compost & recycle. I love trees and mountains and nature. I don’t know how people can live in huge houses with no property around them. I need open outdoor space.
11. I married my teacher ;-) He’s a great match for me. We have so much in common and sometimes think the exact same thought at the same time. But we always end up fighting whenever we try to work on home improvement projects together. Probably because I’m too much of a perfectionist & I’m way too rigid in how I want things done.
12. I can’t believe I don’t weigh 300 lbs from eating all my husbands delicious cooking. Thank god he loves doing it ‘cause I hate cooking, except maybe baking cakes and pumpkin pie.
13. I don’t like picking favorites because mine change too often (variety is the spice of life). But if I really like something, I like it forever.
14. I’ve always hated my nose, but I don’t believe in surgically altering one’s body. I don’t know why women have boob jobs. The thought of taking a knife to mine is so very creepy. Men wouldn’t go under the knife to please us and it doesn’t make you any better in the sack either. There are plenty of men who like small breast.
15. I love to travel, my favorite vacation so far was our 8 day rafting trip though the Grand Canyon. It was such an adventure. Second would have to be riding all the roller coasters at Cedar Point.
16. I love sarcasm, dark comedies and really sick, filthy jokes and limericks.
