Well my friend
The Mamma Has Spoken
is giving out Blogger Buddy awards to all her followers who chose to
follow her example & tell 10 things about themselves that you
probably don't know about. I don't know if I can find 10 things that I
haven't talked about, but will try:
1.
I have 3 siblings (2 brothers & 1 sister - all younger, of
course), but I am the only child from my mother's 1st marriage.
2. I lived in many different houses before I was 4 1/2 years old, but only 3 since.
3.
I used to cry my eyes out growing up when my mother would kill the
rabbits we raised to help feed the family. It was my job to care for
them & then she would make me hold them up by their back feet
while she broke their necks & then skinned them. I could never
eat them.
4.
I was once told that if I asked God to bring back my father, he would.
So when I was really unhappy with my life growing up, I would go
outside, lay down on the ground & cry, scream & beg God
to bring my Daddy back to me - he never did, except that when I talked
to his picture that was on the wall, I could swear he would smile at me
& tell me everything would be all right.
5.
The church I grew up in didn't allow make-up but when I was 12, I let a
girl named Shelly put make-up on me - including black mascara &
eyeliner. I didn't get it all off before I got home & I got
into serious trouble over it.
6.
I had a crush on a guy named G as a teenager. Two things really
ended it on my part - I grew taller than him & he started
working as a mortician - I was terrified that I would die in Wichita
& he would be the one to prepare me for burial. I didn't even
know where he worked!
7.
I started learning to drive when I was 12 years old. My step-dad would
pull over when we went to visit family in the country & have me
take the wheel - it was a stick shift on the column also.
8.
I am terrified of snakes, sharks & heights. But I never was
afraid of heights until I was about 10 years old. I used to climb
trees, up on roofs of sheds, helped roof my parents &
grandmother's home, etc. Then one day I threw a frisbee onto the roof,
climbed up to get it & couldn't get down. Snakes - as close as I
can tell, I have always been terrified of them. Sharks seem to have
always been there in some form also since I didn't even like seeing the
Jonah & the whale picture in the family bible.
9.
My cousin & I once woke up in the middle of the night,
Christmas Eve, & ate 3-4 pies between us. But I think I only
ate 1, she ate the others.
10.
When D & I were dating, he worked a lot of evenings, so since
I would be in serious trouble if he called our house when he got off at
midnight, I would stay up & call him. Then we would talk until
about 3-4 am, then I would get up for school at 7.
I
am suppose to give this award to 10 more people but I only have 3
followers, so anyone who wants to do it, go for it. Link it back to me
& maybe even tell me that you did so that I can find out 10
things about you that I might not know already.

Cindy/KSMarch 12, 2010 9:23 AMThanks B! I didn't mean to make anyone cry though! Just I tell so much that it is hard to think of things that people don't know for something like this. I am pretty sure A does know at least most of them.
