25...25....25....
Not even sure I can count that high but I know its my turn (or past my turn) to name 25 things about me. I've been thinking about this one for a while and here is what I came up with!
1. I've never lived outside of Iowa though I am sure I've traveled more than most Iowans...I've lived in six different cities with four of them being in the DM area.Yes, I'm continential! I counted it up...
2. I am addicted to Chapstick and if I was ever a Survivor contestant my comfort item would be Chapstick.
3. I play softball in college for 2 short months, then I hurt my back and had to quit. It was the end of a promising career.
4. I love smut books! For some odd reason I enjoy reading the romance genre. Go figure.
5. The next big vacation I am planning is to Washington DC. Never been there but am looking forward to it.
6. I hate vacations that require relaxation. I want to run around looking at things - touring places - experiencing all I can!
7. My first car was a 1975 Malibu Classic. It was shit brown and had a huge backseat. But boy was it fun!
8. My favorite board game is Scrabble.
9. I was the 1997 Audubon County Fair Queen. and yes, I know what the four H's stand for. Just ask!
10. I have the best friends and family ever.
11. My secret desire to own a big loud truck. A Chevy of course.
12. I hate dogs (except my parent's coon hound) and love cats. meow.
13. I've waitressed for 8 years of my life. Right now I am working at the Urbandale Golf and Country Club... and most days I wonder why I am still there.
14. My favorite band is Foreigner. I went to their concert at the State Fair last summer and it was the best concert EVER. I have the guitar pick to prove it.
15. I hate cleaning. and I mean I HATE cleaning.
16. I was an Iowa fan until junior high. Then along came Fred Hoiberg and I fell in love and became a Cyclone fan soon after that...and have been one ever since.
17. I would love to get my PhD but I priced it out at Drake and it would cost $30,000. I don't have that kind of $$.
18. I want to learn to scuba dive. I tried once but got a sinus infection and had to drop out of the class.

20. Coach purses are my passion. And yes, I can stuff six of them into an already full suitcase. It's a God-given talent!
21. I suck at spelling...I know... not a good trait for being in the marketing/communicaitons arena.
22. Someday I want to visit Boise, Idaho. I know it sounds crazy but its been on my radar for a while now. Heck, I even looked for jobs there when I got laid off but there wasn't anything.
