1- I was home-schooled/private schooled grades 5-7
I was home-schooled along with my younger sister for 2 years and went to private school for a third. Whose idea it was to send me back to school in 8th grade...it was a bad one.
We would have school from about 830-11 each day.
I loved being home with my mom and learning some really cool stuff that I never would have learned in public school. And in case you were wondering, I was right on pace when I went back to school.
2-I do not like to be in the "spotlight"
I know this may surprise some of you but it really is true. Anytime I am in front of people, doesn't matter who it is, I get really nervous. I prefer to be in the background. It hasn't always been this way but the older I get the less I prefer others eyes on me.
3-I am an avid flosser
When I say avid I am being serious. Daily, at least once. I don't think I have missed a day in about 13 years. I am not sure if I should be proud of that or not...
4- I have never colored my hair
Or bleached/highlighted/anything, ever.
5-As a kid I had a fascination with smoking
I had a metal lunch box filled with sticks of various thicknesses and lengths that I would go and "smoke" in the back yard. I also used to spend my extra pennies up at The Family Quick Stop buying gum cigarettes. (gum rolled in powder and then paper so when blown on smoke would come out the end) Happy to say, I got it all out of my system before middle school.
may be more to come but this is it for now...have a good day!

Man, you're cool. And I miss you. I was thinking of you this morning and wanted to call you, then I realized with the time difference, you were probably in the throws of picking up kids from school. - But just know that you are loved. Funny thing about smoking --- it's one of the only recurring dreams that I've had - that I was smoking. Weird. I knew you were weird, too. :)
So . . . when are you going to come visit us and find a practice for Dallen here? :)
The flossing thing is totally true! whenever I see you past 7:00 you are all squinty eyed without your contacts and flossing so hard i think your gums will bleed. Good for you though. I don't think I've ever flossed two days in a row... in my life!
Also, I laughed out loud in class (yes I was blog stalking in class.. don't judge) when I read your thing about smoking. I just love the little weird things we do as kids. That is so hilarious. I had this journal with a picture of the little mermaid on the front when I was little and I hid it under my matress and would pull it out and look at it everyday because mom didn't want me to have it (she had on a bikini after all).
Love you! This post made my day!
