Tidbits

  • In 3rd grade, I wrote a story called "The Prince and the Cherry Pit". It was about a prince whose best friend was a cherry pit that got lost behind his dresser.
  • I actually lived in Lehi when Footloose was filmed. I also remember hitchin a ride with my older sister when she dragged Main. There was absolutely no lights along that road back then. We'd start at the HS and go as far as the Colonial House and start all over again. For a 10 year old it was the highlight of my week.
  • I was sent to the principle's office in 1st grade because I yelled down the hall at one of my classmates that was breaking the rules.
  • I spray-painted my initials on the back of a Drive-In Screen. It was in varnish, but it's the deviance that counts.
  • I had a "Harry Potter" scar on my forehead before Harry Potter was a common household name. It's shaped like a lightening bolt and is a result of my curious 4 year old self who went to extremes trying to get a gum ball without paying for it.
  • I have OCD when it comes to loading the dishwasher. I don't care where the dishes end up after they are washed, but they need to be in order to maximize the space just right or I have to re-load it before I wash them.
  • Our first fight as a married couple was over how to load the trunk of the car after our honeymoon. I guess Chris has a touch of OCD, too.
  • I'm the baby of 3 girls, but you'd never guess it when we were growing up. We would climb trees in the cemetery, rip our jeans scaling fences, and play Charlie's Angles with cap guns we had received for Christmas in our stockings (thanks Dad). Forget the dolls, we wanted to heavy artillery.

Well, now you know more about me than you probably wanted to. But it was a nice trip down memory lane, anyway.

Really a cherry pit? I need to read this book! I do have to say that I now feel like I was an evil little girl in comparison to your yelling in the hallway and varnish intials! I love your post!!

I'm the same way with the dishwasher!! I'm very happy I can tell Steve I'm not the only one. It drives him crazy when I reorganize the dishes after he puts them in there. He doesn't understand that I do the same thing after I load them!!
Also, I love that you wrote a story about a cherry pit friend. I'd love to read it if you still have it around.
