This was a kinda fun thing that went through Facebook a while back. I learned some kooky nd unexpected things about some of my closest friends. Thought it would be interesting here... You are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. I will go first and I guess if no one responds, you will all know more about me than I care to admit!!


1. I hate the phone.

2. I am clumsy. Always have been. I fell out of bed this morning.

3. I rarely read the newspaper or watch the news- its too depressing to watch how cruel we humans can be to each other.

4. My favorite place in the world is our acreage first thing in the morning. I especially love my acreage when I am surrounded by my dogs and horses. Other than that, I really don't like mornings...

5. The first thing Jer and I ever did together was dirtbiking. He kept smashing my helmet with his. Turns out he was trying to kiss me... I loved him then and I love him more now.

6. My favorite thing about my husband is the way he giggles when he is genuinely amused. It is a sound that makes my heart smile.

7. I used to think that when you are 32 (like me) you know who you are and what you are doing. If this is true, then I'm only 16!

8. I love the Food Channel. Jer hates it.

9. I am a good cook but I never know what to make. Its a curse.

10. My children are my whole world: they make me want to be better and do better. They think they need me, but the truth is that I can't live without them.

11. I think people who deliberately hurt children should be shot. Period.

12. I am a shy person- meeting new people terrifies me. This is something I have worked a long time to overcome, and it is my personal Mt. Everest.

13. I was once suspended from school for drinking at the Provincial Debating Championships. My parents didnt quite know how to punish the straight-A, captain, and coach of the Debating Team... I had a lovely 3 days off.

14. I am terrible at saying I am sorry.

15. I have a love-hate relationship with Photography. I hate taking photos because I get so nervous I could literally puke. I love looking at the photos later because I am always pleasantly surprised that I didnt tank the job...

16. Aside from my family, the greatest thing I ever did was going to Romania on a Medical Mission. I will go back over and over and over.

17. If I never married and had a family I would be a doctor and a missionary. Instead, I am a stay-at-home doctor whose missions involve laundry, groceries, appointments, gymnastics, pony club and so much more. My kisses are my medicine. Its a good life.

18. If I had a genie-in-a-lamp I would wish for: a housekeeper, a nanny, and more time in the day.

19. Both of my parents live with rare and debilitating diseases. From them, I have learned about courage and integrity. I have also learned to appreciate the gift of health and to celebrate the miracle that occurs each time my body moves for me and with me.

20. My favorite clothes are jeans and hoodies. I don't own pajamas.

21. I am a Daddy's girl. My father is an amazing man who has taught me what it is to be simple and humble and kind and accepting. My heart melts every time I witness my husband and daughters in this same tender relationship. I hope they will always love him just a tiny bit more than me.

22. As a parent, the greatest thing I can give my girls is wings. I pray continually that I will be a model to them of what a woman should be. I hope that from me they will learn to be independant and brave and adventurous and compassionate. I don't want them to see me as perfect, but I do want them to see me struggle and perservere and know that its okay to fall down and get back up again.

23. I have the disease to please- I am terrible at saying "NO". I am working on it.

24. I am addicted to excercise. And Lululemon clothing.

25. The best day I ever had with my husband was out quadding in the mud and muck. There is something about watching him at play that I find inexplicably sexy. He is my best friend.

When I was 15 I would have won the Nova Scotia Provincial Junior Boys 5km cross county running title....... but I made a wrong turn and ended up 3rd
How I look now is the BEST the reconstructive sergeons could do.....
Every spanking I ever recieved growing up was Plio's fault.....

Thanks Sledbunny! I have heard wonderful things about you- maybe one day I will find you in the parking lot and I can see what all the fuss is about...

Whew, 25...I'll try.

1. I’m an only child..;)

2. I love animals, of all kind, but dogs are my pet of choice by far.

3. I prefer it when I’m right. I’m even ok with pretending I’m right.

4. I’m a natural in the kitchen...my time serving in restaurants as a youth paid off big time.

5. I was suspended in school for a week for throwing eggs at the VP’s house...drug by my hair, picked up by the fuzz and hauled to the slammer...all the rest of the group fessed up cuz I wouldn’t fink and it resulted in the biggest suspension in school history.:eek:

6. I hate wearing socks but love moccasins. Hate bras too..thanks goodness I don’t have D-cuppers. :eek:

7. I’m not a fan of housework. It sucks. Although I like my house clean and organized. (Hubby's not a fan of this one)

8.I am fortunate to have a wonderful man in my life...and have for 20+ years. He can do most anything, and I tend to take advantage of that sometimes.

9. I was an honor student in school. Top Female Athlete, Best All Round Student...yadayada...yet I was a bit of chit disturber...don’t know how I pulled it off really. I even got perfect attendance awards even though I skipped out multiple times...??:dunno::kissass:

10. I like to procrastinate. I think it comes from my ability to work best under pressure...so I make sure I put it on myself.

11. I can’t kill things. I will go through ridiculous measures to save a spider or bug...I can however, kill mosquitoes and flies.

12. I have a really low attention span...unless I’m very stimulated I fade out fast. My mind goes faster than it should and my mouth sometimes faster...I tend to not have a self-edit function. And maybe a bit of ADD. LOL:d

13. What was it I was doing again?...:p

14. I love people. Always worked with people and in careers that have made me understand and read people well. Enjoy meeting new sledder chicas.

15. I hate people. Bad people. And sometimes I just like to be by myself, enjoying my home, yard, pets and life.

16. I love a challenge and doing things people say I can’t do. I tend to make a point of having some kind of challenge in my life to keep me stimulated and happy.

17. I leave my vehicle insurance to the very last day...minute actually, sometimes even later. No reason, just cuz.

18. I'm not affraid of challenge and asking for what I want. 99% of the time you get it.

19. Not a big drinker, although I do indulge...and I have enough of a potty-mouth without adding alcohol. :nono:

20.I once convinced a cop to pull me out of the ditch I drove in cuz I was drunk...it was against his rules but he did it anyways...hooked to my bumper, pulled me out...I proceeded to wave thanks and drive away with him still attached for a half a block...more like drug him.:eek:

21. I’ve only been sledding for 3 years, but I have a passion for it like nothing else. I ride my dirtbike and quad in the summer and spend great weekends camping with friends...but still dream of sledding. Hubby and I play together and it's a great way to be!

22. I hate paying bills, banking, bookkeeping...and anything that looks like or sounds like it. Not cuz I can’t, I just don’t want to. Money management is a weakness...I can make it but handling it is another story. One of hubby’s strong suits thank goodness.

23. I am close to my parents and am in business with my mother. My love of speed and motorized things comes from my dad. As a girl only child I was always determined to be a good daughter to my dad too...so more cars and less sewing for me!

24. I love gardening, flowers, shrubs...we have hundreds of species in our yard.

25. I'm creative and artistic and definitely possess some stereo-typical personality traits as such.:eek:

1. My best friend, soul mate, and sledding partner is Amy - I trust her 100% with choices in the backcountry
2. I am not sure if I will be able to make 25 of these points.
3. I love Yamaha 4 stroke sleds, and have spent an inordinate amount of time and money trying to keep the 2 that I have running at the top of their game.
4. I have a career that is very stressful at times, and that no-one understands. (poultry equipment distribution and service)
5. Boost is highly addictive and worth all the effort in #3.
6. I am very proud of Amy's motivation in slaying nearly impossible climbs.
7. The best vehicle purchase I ever made was my 2002 dodge cummins - this thing is the rock on which our sledding relies.
8. I miss my dad every day. This man fueled my passion for sledding and anything fast in general. He groomed trails and has a trail named after him just west of Winnipeg.
9. I feel that point #8 is a poor tribute to him and doesn't begin to relay the honor he deserves.
10. I have so many good friends that I feel badly for not connecting with all of them well enough.
11. I hate household chores. We have a Roomba, and much rather service the machine than sweep the floors myself.
12. I love beer.
13. I knew that Bogger was turned on when I put him in a headlock.
14. I am surprised that I made it this far
15. How It's Made is the best TV program - ever.
16. I read technical articles on weaponry from WW1 through present day and find it fascinating. Amy thinks I am the biggest geek alive.....and she could be right.
17. I am fawking TIRED of explaining to friends, relatives, and everyone else why Amy did not win the Miss Extreme contest. Frankly, it's an embarrasment to me and everyone I got to help vote for that gong show.
18. Some people you meet via the internet turn out to be the best, salt-of-the-earth people that you are proud to know. You know who you are and I am happy to know you.
19. I know how to fly model airplanes, including twin engine types.
20. I love guns, but am not a hunter. Shooting trap and skeet are about the best ways to spend a summer afternoon that I know of.
21. I have a great amount of patience for most things....Amy has very little....we balance each other very well. :)
22. I have captained a tournament paintball team, and won 1st place trpohies in 2 divisions in the same year. I have played the sport since it's inception, roughly 20 years ago.
23. Our coffee table is a 35" top fuel dragster rear tire, topped with a round piece of glass.
24. I will not tolerate phony people.
25. I love Amy so much it hurts.

Poultry equipment! thats interesting, i was watching Dirty Jobs last night and it was at a huge farm in arizona. I always marvel at the equipment like the egg conveyors and such. The work that someone goes thru to invent and maintain that hardware is amazing

THanks Pistonbroke- I can hardly wait to meet you. I like my Roomba too, even if it takes longer to clean the brushes and wheels than it would to vaccuum an entire room! Your #25 is so sweet--- I cried a little :p

Well I guess since everyone else is taking the time to make an actual serious attempt at this I should as well........

1. I am what I am, some like me some hate me....Not a fan of those who hate me.
2. My wife (Arlene) is the best thing that ever happened to me, she is a big part of the reason I have custody of my children and we ballance each other out in almost every way.
3. I am generally able to find the positive in any situation and easily laugh things off.
4. I've met some of my best friends on the internet....Including my wife.
5. Proudest moments of my life to date were marrying arlene and watching my 11 year old daughter shave her head bald for cancer, she raised $2500 much of which was donated by S&M members.
6. Like plio I will always be a maritimer at heart... I miss the ocean but not much else.
7. Aside from my wife my brother is my best freind.
8. I love beer, donairs & whoppers as well......Lobster is my favorite food.
9. Dexter is my favorite non cartoon TV series, we don't have TV so I have the DVD's
10. I love cartoons, Have all the Simpson's seasons, most family guy, king of the hill some southpark and futurama.
11. I love being on the water... Doing nothing on the boat is better than doing anything anywhere else.
12. I have a lakelot I have only been to twice in the past two years because I spend all my time in the summer on the boat at wabamun.
13. I'm nervous as hell to ride the mountains in Cooke but excited to meet all the Imaginary internet freinds I've made.
14. We currently live in a 1150 sq/ft house with 7 people, 2 dogs and a rabbit.
15. I never really had any use for horses, but now that we have them I see the appeal, even without riding them.
16. My mother is my hero, If I can be 1/2 the person she is I'll be happy.
17. If arlene had met me anytime before 27 years old she would not have wanted anything to do with me... the end of my first marriage and ensuing divorce changed me for the better.
18. I am mechanically retarded, some would argue mechanics isn't the only area.
19. I am socially outgoing, so much so that I often leave arlene in the lurch when we go to large social gatherings, for this I appologize.
20. I don't drink Whisky anymore, all the jail incidents from my last post began with whisky.
21. I'm not religious, nor am I against religion. I find it too coincidental that our solar system shares so many characteristics with a "cell" ..... I believe we as humans are cancerous by nature and eventually whatever is out there will find a cure, until then game on.
22. I will help anyone with anything at any time within my ability, I don't like being taken advantage of and believe karma evens things out in the end.
23. Energy can niether be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one state to another..... this theory is the key to the question "where do we go when we die"
24. My children drive me nuts, I tell them every day (more than once) that I love them. However I do not spend enough quality time with them and this needs to change.
25. Homer Simpson Rules.... we share a last name, a love for beer, a knack for doing stupid things and a career.

Wow..... there is 15 mins I will never get back...........:d
