Ok...I'm going to give this a try.

1. I was a finalist in a lyric writing contest.
2. I once threw a basketball backwards over my head and made it into the basket.
3. I collect weird salt and pepper shaker sets.
4. When I was 28 I realized I had never had my own warm blooded pet. I asked for one for Christmas. I got a long haired guinea pig named Marvin.
5. I knew I was going to marry my husband the day I met him.
6. I once went with my mother on a bus tour of South Dakota.
7. I hate flying so much that I took a train from NJ to California (awesome trip).

I'll try...don't know if I have 8.

1.I once got locked in a gas station bathroom for 2-3 hours.
2. I won $550.00, tickets to a Bengals game and a limo ride to and from the game from a local radio station.
3. I was born with one foot flat against my leg. I wore braces for a few years.
4. My husband never asked me out on our first date. I have my father-in-law to thank for my first date.
5. I'm extremely afraid of heights. If I see someone at the top of steps or looking over a high place (like at a theater) I'll have this feeling that I'm falling.
6. I have always lived within a 5 mile radius of the first home I came home to as a baby.
7. I've wanted to try parasailing for a long time.
8. I won $17.776.00 on an instant lottery ticket right after we bought this house we're in now (3 1/2 years ago). My husband didn't believe it until we got to the lottery commision and they had me fill out the paper work. I was in shock for a while until I got the check which was a bit less but still nice! It was a great time to win this as we hadn't sold our other house and were making double house payments, while helping 2 kids through college.

I know you didn't know any of that because I'm still fairly new. I could go on, too!

2. I still have my favorite blanket from when I was 3.
3. My hair is past my waist.
4. I love to prospect and look for old bottles and cans.
5. I am usually pretty lucky when I sign up for random drawings. So far I have won $200.00 worth of fireworks, 50 gas card and huge Coca Cola Bear.
6. I have seen so many concerts and will name some... Jerry Lee Lewis, Pat Benatar, Motley Crue, Little River Band, Survivor,Ozzy, Warrant, New Kids on the Block, Toby Keith and that's not even half of them.
7. I am a scorpio.
