Get to Know Me

I was tagged in this fun post by Kristin at A Simply Enchanted Life and with a little peer pressure decided, why not.  It was a cute idea, even though I really didn't learn anything new about her I thought it would be fun and perhaps interesting for my blog readers to get to know a little bit more about the me behind the screen.

FIRSTS

REAL HOLIDAY: If you mean vacation in the European sense, Alaska in 1992 right before my senior year of high school.  Spent some time in and around Anchorage and then flew out to a small island off of Kodiak to visit family

BEST FRIEND: I went to kindergarten and 1st grade in Springfield, before we moved, and Janie Raye lived on the corner and her grandparents across the street from me.

AWARD:Gaa, that's a hard one when you get as old as I am.  Possibly 5th grade Knowledge Bowl winner, including trophy!

SPORT: Softball.  I played 6th grade and was/and remain horrible at it but it's still fun.  Being a leftie I should have an advantage right?  If I actually had good depth perception and peripheral vision perhaps.  Or even the ability to recognize the strike zone as a batter.  The easiest way to get me out is to throw high, the higher the better because I'll go for that before a ball in the strike zone. Every. Single. Time.

CONCERT: Again, age is a drawback.  Perhaps um maybe Ray Stevens?

SHOES:Flip Flops, I'd wear them year round but for like snow and cold.  In the winter I love my ankle boots.
