24more. Only 53 left.

1. When I was a kid, one night I woke up and was convinced that there was a dog on the end of my bed. I was absolutely petrified I couldn't even move. We didn't even have a pet at this time. Finally I got up the courage to run across the hall to my parents room. They told me to turn on the light and It turned out that it was a stuffed animal thing I made at girl guide camp.
2. We made those stuffed "animals" twice they called were called a Zebu. The big one was blue and I named him George and the little one was purple and pink and I named it "Cute stuff.
3. The first car I ever drove was a white Nissan Micra
4. When we were young and on road trips when we would see bits of rubber on the road we would yell "THERE THERE" a throw back from the days when my dad worked at the Firestone factory.
5. Me and my brother one night for no reason we can remember took a metal bucket and filled it with stuff from the kitchen: spices, food colouring. spaghetti... We dumped it in the back yard by the swing set.
6. I told my grade jr high music teacher to "mind (her) own business". One of the kids in the class was bugging me and I never thought the teacher liked me so I didn't want to talk to her about it. That is the only time in my childhood I remember being rude to an adult. (except for perhaps the occasional disagreement with my parents)
7. I once told my dad something like even though I did not always like the decisions he made I knew he did it because he loved me and wanted the best for me. I should never have said it, never let me forget it :)
8. When I was young I never related well to kids my own age. I'm scared to have teenagers.
9. I want my kids to learn to be nice to other people and have a good honest work ethic.
10. Sometimes I am easily startled
11. I love the Internet. When there is something that I hear about and am curious or there is something I don't know I Google it. I like to learn about things.
12. My dad always took us to the train museum and places like that as a kid. I loved it because he always knew so many little things about what he was showing us. I want my kids to like going to places like that.
13. Sometimes I have this possessive competitive streak but I usually try to control it when it happens. I don't like it.
14. I am so grateful for my friends.
15. I couldn't imagine the world with out the family that I have.
16. My grandmother on my moms side was not a great cook but there were occasionally things she would make that I miss. She made this rhubarb upside down cake type of thing and you would eat it warm with mild poured over it. If I had it offered to me for the first time now I don't know if I would like it. I would love a piece now.
17. Me and my mom got our ears pierced on the same day. We did it at the Merle Norman in Heritage mall. My grand mother on my dads side was with us I think.
18. I played the trumpet in high school.
19. There is someone I have not talked to in years I would like to again I think but I'm not sure how
20. I'm listening to the song "Two Beds And A Coffee Machine" by Savage Garden. It is so pretty but sad.
21. Other then when I was like one and a half and went to Quebec with my parents, I have taken off in an airplane 7 times and never landed.
22. I love the sound of the wind flapping in a parachute. And the look of the world a couple thousand feet up.
23. I remember soaking my hands in warm water in the bathroom sink when I was younger. My mom always did it. It felt so good.
24. I went through a long period of time when I was in high school when I would never sleep in my bed. I heard mice in the wall one night and it really bothered me. I would sleep on the couch or the chair in my moms office. My brother would always try to get me to go to bed in my room. I remember sneaking around and trying to sleep somewhere he could not find me. I didn't tell anyone why I would not sleep in my bed. I remember trying one night and I couldn't do it. After a while we switched bedrooms around and I moved down stairs and started sleeping in my room again. I am not sure if I ever told them why. Looking back it was such a little thing but it was a huge thing to me then.
