Random

I have yet to join the Facebook crowd. Yes, I am aware that I am probably the lone holdout, but I am not going to do it! I would be totally addicted, I'm sure. And right now, there's no time for it. But I do get on Facebook under my sisters names so I can "spy" on all my old peeps!

But even though I am boycotting Facebook, I have decided to take part in its latest phenomenon. I have been asked (by my sis) to compile a list of 25 random things about myself. Here goes:

1. I go by my middle name – Lauren. My first name is Elizabeth.

2. My second toe is MUCH longer than the first.

3. When I was young, I would bribe my sister to tickle my back at night. I would tell her that I was setting the timer on the microwave in the kitchen, but I wouldn’t. So she tickled me forever!

4. My younger sister witnessed my very first kiss (when I was 15) and she told my parents. I got grounded for a month!

5. I got a spanking from my teachers every year in elementary school except for 6th grade!

6. I had an ovary removed when I was in tenth grade. (None of my friends even knew what an ovary was!)

7. I was born in Germany.

8. I really want twins. (Am I crazy?? See my previous post…)

9. My dream job is White House Press Secretary.

10. When I was in junior high, the older guys called me Goosebumps. I’ll let you try and figure that one out. But I hated it! (If they could only see me now!)

11. I used to be addicted to General Hospital (gave it up when Robbie was born)!

12. My favorite movie is Ever After

13. I think Josh Duhamel is HOT!

14. I think my husband is HOTTER!

15. I love the new self-checkout lanes at grocery stores because I always wanted to work there!

16. I’ve never had braces.

17. I do not like coconut. I think it tastes like fingernails.

18. My first car was a Ford Escort hatchback. (And no, it was not cool even back then).

19. I met Peyton Manning and had my picture taken with him. My dad has it on his office desk and tells people Peyton is his son-in-law. (Sorry, honey.)

20. I’ve been on TV twice.

21. I always wanted to play Liesel in a performance of Sound of Music (and I used to practice).

22. When I heard the story of Jessica falling into a well, I thought she had falled into a whale. I know that is ridiculous, but I was very young and had heard of Jonah in the Whale. I figured they lived on the ocean and she had fallen in. But I couldn't figure out how they knew which whale it was...

23. I can play any song on the piano with my eyes closed.

24. I am the biggest Michael Jordan fan ever. Growing up, my pink room had Jordan posters all over it, and I never missed watching a Bulls game.

25. I'm going to nag my husband until he does this!
