Okay, Casey - I told you I would, right? Here ya go! Anyone else with a blog - have at it, I'm tagging you to be next!
1. I lived on Easter Place growing up and therefore thought that the Easter Bunny would always visit my house first.
2. Strangely, even though I believed this up to about -- oh -- 6 or 7 years old, I spilled the beans about the whole Santa thing to my friend when I was 3 years old. Yes, 3. My mom got a very irate call from his mother and I had to tell him that I was just teasing him to make him cry. I was a little verbally, um, advanced? for my age, I'm told. Shocking, yes?
3. I am PHOBIC about lightning.
4. My left foot is a half size bigger than my right foot.
5. I am a picker. And a popper. Of zits and things like that. Just ask my husband.
6. When I was 6 years old, right before we went on vacation to Disneyland, I developed a horrible skin rash after running through the sprinklers with my neighbor. The water was hitting the trees in his backyard and then coming down on us and apparently the trees had just been sprayed with something. My mom said it looked like I had some raging contagious illness and while we were at Disneyland people were awful to me. They would talk about "that nasty little girl" and tell their kids not to sit next to me or touch me and I guess it made me just bawl my eyes out. My amazing mom took me to the t-shirt store (this was the 70's so the rage of making your own t-shirt was big) and made me a yellow t-shirt that said "It's An Allergy" in big black letters on it and they washed it out in the sink for me so that I could wear it EVERY single day for the rest of the trip. I distinctly remember my mom putting a positive spin on it for me by saying that at least we'd have the pool all to ourselves. And we did!
My point in saying this is that I to this day I can still remember being horrible to a girl named Jill in kindergarten because she had a skin disease and then the next year I got my own. (Oh, that God!) Even as a 30-something woman, I wish I could find Jill and say I'm sorry.
7. I always wanted to be in a spelling bee but never was. Probably worked out for the best on that one.
8. My first car was a poop brown 1981 Toyota Carolla hatchback. I wrecked it two weeks to the day after I got my license.
How is that for a random list?? Can't wait to see some more!

Lol, I once threw a spelling bee so my best friend could win it. He knew i'd lost on purpose for him and was angry at first. Seeing his mom so excited and proud tho was worth it.
My 15 year old is allergic to the virus that causes chicken pox. When he was 9 months old he was covered in a horrible rash/hives/spots.... No one would come near us at the doctor's office. One patient became so loud and vocal, they moved us to an office in the back for our safety. Just because he had an allergy.
Oh, and I'm a popper, too. :)
I wrecked my first car in almost the same amount of time. My actual license hadn't even come in the mail yet, I still had the paper one they print out at the DMV. If I weren't so traumatized, I'd have probably been pretty embarrassed.
