25 Random Things About Me:
1. I had a stalker in Kindergarten named Bonnie. One day she had a fever and was sent to the nurse. She gave the nurse my name, my phone number and my mom's name. When my mom came in to pick "me" up, she was like....um, that's not my kid. SCARY!
2. I used to be a big time Trekkie (as in Star Trek) when I was a kid. My mom even made me a star fleet uniform in 7th grade and I made a com badge that played "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" I won 2nd prize
3. I have an extra vertabrae in my lower back.
4. I totally wish I still had my She-Ra dolls. Loved those things.
5. I began sewing and crocheting in 1st grade.
6. I have had 2 serious relationships in my life. My high school boyfriend, Gavin - who played Perchik to my Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof and my husband Steve - who played Perchik to my Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof. I will never audition for Fiddler on the Roof again!
7. This one's kinda gross - I once got this really bad ear infection - it was oozing stuff - it hurt like you know what and was just disgusting. Well, after it went away, I could not hear out of that ear very well - I kinda figured I had hearing damage. BUT - I thought I could feel something in there. When I would stick a q-tip in there (I know we're not supposed to, but c'mon - EVERYONE does it), I would meet some resistance when I got down the canal a ways. So, after like 3 years of not hearing well, one day, I got all aggressive with whatever it was in my ear with a hairpin and finally worked out this enormous ball of - well, I don't know what it was! It was like sinewy with a hard center. Anyway, it was like a re-birth! I could freaking HEAR again! I felt like I was in a crazy echo tube for like 2-3 days. That was less than a year ago and I still have NO idea what it was.
8. I have never been hospitalized for illness, only for having children.
9. I love fabric - I love just having yards of cool fabric. Sometimes it makes me sad to cut into it.
10. My dad was always a techno junkie. I was the first kid in my class to have a vcr, cd player, dvd player, computer, video camera - you name it. My first computer was a Commodore 64 and I had an AOL account in the mid 90's, when all it was was chatrooms and this weird thing called e-mail.
11. I was a total smarty pants over achiever as a child. I got strait A's, won all the spelling bee's, won a state wide poster contest, was in choir and always got the solos, played trumpet and french horn, wrote, directed and starred in competition pieces for the Odessy of the Mind program - yada yada, yada! What happened?
12. The first time I sang publicly as a teenager was a church talent show. I sang Amy Grant's "Every Heartbeat" and people thought I was lipsinking, but that's kinda random because I sound nothing like Amy Grant. I still took it as a compliment.
13. My cousin owns the Star Wars prop of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite, although I've never seen it. But my sister sent me a picture!
14. The only celebrity I've met was Donny Osmond, thanks to my dog - the only dog I've ever owned and we only had him for like 4 months.
15. My sister, Ilona, has seen Penn and Teller naked. Ewww.
16. I used to work at the MGM Grand theme park and worked on the Sky Screamer, where I "flew" over 80 times. Fun stuff!
17. I grew up in upstate New York. Cows, farmers and snow.
18. I was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho - in the same hospital where my mother in law was born AND our birth dates are 2 days apart - May 2nd and 4th!
19. I have lived in 16 different homes.
20. I have never received a traffic ticket, even though I have been pulled over twice. The first time, I was half in a Cinderella costume and the officer just told me to slow down a little bit, after he asked me where I was going. I really wish I would have said "The Ball." The other time, I was in a borrowed car from out of state with expired proof of insurance and no drivers license. Yup - warning. I also ran a stop sign in Ceder City, UT and was broadsided. They didn't cite me because "the accident was punishment enough." I'm sure someday my luck will run out....
21. I LOVE baths. Love them. When I was pregnant, I would take several a day. Love them.
22. I have never tried sushi, but I would like to try. I think.
23. I have only been to 1 family members funeral - my Grandpa. Meaning not a lot of them have died. I lived across country when my other Grandpa died. I'm bracing myself for the future, though.
24. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people call me Sondra. It's Sandra - the San rhymes with Fan. It especially annoys me after I have corrected them. I once had someone try to convince me it should be Sondra because that sounded better. Whatever!
25. I absolutely and totally adore my husband. Even when he drives me mad, he's the perfect man for me. I'm a better woman for having him in my life. I'm lucky to have the family I do!
