Maniacal Ravings of a Lunatic Mind

11.      I am an old married lady – but I am happily married!  So lonely men who think I am a lonely housewife looking for attention QUIT IMing ME! My use of IM is for family and friends….not pervs.  Sheesh!

12.      I have only been married once –  Sucker!  HA!  Way to take one for the team StudHombre!!   You are brave!  Or very very foolish…..

13.      I am the oldest of 3 daughters – Poor Dad.  My two sisters still live very near my parents.  I am redikkerously close to my youngest sister.  I am 13 years older than her.  You should visit her.  La

14.      I have 27 first cousins on my dad’s side – That’s a lot huh!  I love em’ all!!  I didn’t get to see them often enough when I was close to them and now that I am so far away…..*sigh*   Thank goodness for e.mail and IM and Spaces!  Visit one of my cousins here: Computer Guy and here Sada

15.      I have 10 first cousins on my mom’s side – Not as many but love em’ just as much!  My daughter named for one of these cousins.  You know who you are!

16.      We all still keep in touch – Thank goodness or life here in H-town would be very very lonely.  I miss the real live contact but I love hearing from them via phone and e.mail.  DO ya hear that?  You don’t want me to be all depresstified?  Send me e.mail!  Call me! 

6.      I have 2 tattoos – These consist of a teal green colored fish and a carton of milk and wedge of cheese.  The fish was a drawing taken off a pyramid in Mexico.   A little shout out to my heritage.  It’s on my back between my shoulder and neck.  My other tattoo is of Milk and Cheese.  Two comic character I hold near and dear to my widdle black heart.  They are on the back of my head.  Which now that I am a grown up is covered in hair.  No more shaved head for me. 

7.      I have never been on a plane - this may change here soon.  If fate smiles on us and MIL can find a decent fare we will go visit my in-laws.  They live in Paradise.  Hawaii baby!   Okay now for the honest truth.  I have an irrational fear or flying over the water.  I better have some serious sedatives.......

8.      When I was a kid I had a Labrador named Bubbles – loved loved loved this dog.  She was a bird dog.  Dad had her all trained up to hunt.  And hunt she did.  For me she was a pet.  When we moved to Wyoming she was stolen from us.  And to whoever took her – If I ever find you – I’ll make you PAY!

9.      Bubbles had puppies and I got to keep one so I named it Yoda – Yoda was a great dog.  A bit of a pain but a great dog.  Also a trained bird dog.  Eventually we took Yoda to live on the Ranch with my grandparents in NE.  He lived very happily there for a number of years until he decided one day to pack his bags and move across the fields to Aunt Sophie’s place.  She was my granny’s sister.  Yoda lived with Sophie for a time, being spoiled, until he died of old age. 

10.      I really really really liked Star Wars as a kid – How I grew up and did not become a total geek I don’t know.  But l LIVED for Star Wars back in the day.  I had the Chewbacca socks.  I had a Darth Vader cake.  I had the toys and the t-shirt.  Oh yeah.  Naturally Yoda was my favorite.  Thus I named a dog after him.

1.      I was born in Nebraska – Big Shout out to all my fellow Nebraskans!  I have very fond memories of growing up there.  Much of my family still lives there.    

2.      I am left-handed. – What more could I say about that?  I don’t turn my hand all weird to write.  I turn the paper.  So There.

3.      I cut and bat right-handed – In grade school they didn’t have any left handed scissors so I had to learn how to cut right handed.  Now it’s the only way I know.  Batting – I don’t know how that came about.  Interestingly enough I can use chopsticks with BOTH hands!  GO me!!

4.      I sang in the school choir – High School Girls Chorus and Concert Choir.  I can carry a tune well enough but really I just scare the rats away.   I had one solo ever and never got to perform it due to school closure.  Just my luck.

5.      I don’t have a gall bladder – I lost this when I was 18.  I got up in the night and wasn’t feeling good.  I had a horrible stomach ache and was nauseous.  I crawled – crawled - down the stairs to my parents room and woke my mother.  (she was closest to the door) She told me to take an aspirin and go back to bed.  Mother’s can be cruel can’t they?   I was really miserable so my Dad got up to take me to the hospital.  On our way there Dad says “if you start feeling better anytime between here and the hospital let me know”.  Gotta love Dad.  WE get to the ER and I get poked and prodded.  An Ultrasound is done and TA DA!  I have marble sized gall stones.  Well in reality they were teeny stones, like sand, all bonded together to make marble size stones.  Anyway – that afternoon I have surgery to have them removed and they just took the whole gall bladder too.   My mother had the gall bladder surgery 5 years earlier before the laproscopic surgery was available.  She has a very large scar from the surgery.  I have 4 tiny scars that you can barely see and one is hidden in my belly button.  HA!  Take that mom!   I remember waking up in my hospital room around dinner time.  How do I know it’s dinner time?  Because my family is there eating burgers and fries and drinking Ice cold sodas while I slept!  What do I get??   Broth.  Families can be cruel can’t they?  LOL  I missed a choir trip due my hospitalization and missed lettering in choir by 1 stinkin’ point that year due to the absence.  I am sure I’d have been more disappointed but all my emotions were dulled thanks to prescription Demerol.  Pharmacists are never cruel.  Lovedl loved loved those pills.  All in all I was back at school in a weeks time none the worse for wear.  J
