r-r-random

1. I was born in Murray UT to a 17-year old mommy, and a daddy who was 18. They almost named me Paige after Jimmy Page in Led Zeppelin. How cool of a name story would that have been?

2. My first dog was named Rainbow. It was a white lab. I was only 2-years-old, but I totally remember the day we went and picked her out. I was holding her and my daddy asked me what I was going to name her. I didn't hesitate. It was Rainbow, after Rainbow Bright with whom I was completely obsessed.

3. I could not wait for my sister to be born. I still take credit for naming her. My mom was going through a list of names and said "Hey, what do you think of the name Lacey?" Before my daddy had a chance to answer I was yelling, as 3-year-old girls do, "That's it, her name is Lacey! I picked it."

4. I am currently in the process of learning to play the guitar. I have this fantasy of writing songs and singing whilst I play all acoustically like Jewel. Haha, just for my own amusement of course! I can play this crappy, weak version of a tiny part of 'OK I believe you but my Tommy Gun don't' by Brand New. Well, I play half of the part cause strumming more than one string at time isn't working for me yet. I think my hands are too small, or I am just bad at it. =(

5. I have this freakishly strong super long memory. My first memory goes back to when I was one and a half. I remember living at my grandma's house and my mommy asked me to go upstairs with her to get something to eat. She didn't want to go by herself. That is still totally the way she is to this day too.

6. My first best friend was a boy named Clay. He was way older than me. I can't believe my parents let me play with him! He was cool though, he always brought me peaches from his yard.

7. I got the chicken pox in the 2nd grade completely on purpose. My best friend Jenny's sister had come down with them. So at recess I played extra close to her hoping to come down with the popular disease that all the cool kids had caught. Yeah, later I realized I was quite the idiot for that.

8. During my late teens I had a huge crush on Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jared Leto (OK, still have that one). When Freddie married Sarah whatever-her-face I decided that I hated her because I was so jealous. Her whole Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, I didn't watch it cause of that. Haha.

9. I used to be a CNA from age 17-20. As horrible as it sounds, I have never had a job as fulfilling as taking care of the elderly. I loved them. I just ended up finding a better job, which I am still at and love of course! Still - I miss you Fayetta!

10. I am obsessed with Pine Sol. I think it is the bestest cleaner in the universe. I really don't feel like the house is clean until it reeks of Pine Sol.

11. When I was a little girl I swore I could not ever marry a boy who didn't like to eat mushrooms. Seriously, I asked them that question when I started dating. Praying (fingers crossed) that cute boys didn't say No.

12. I only snooped into my Christmas presents in advance once. I had to know if I was getting my Jem & the Holograms doll. I did get it. I still feel guilty, like really bad. I'm such a jerko.

13. I love being a mommy. I would never ever undo that. I'm glad that I started young. They will both graduate High School by the time that I turn 40. Woot!

14. I have never watched the movie Jerry McGuire because my ex-boyfriend in High School said it reminded him of us. I didn't want to feel sad since we had broken up.

15. I really, really, really hate the subscription cards in magazines. Here is how it goes. I fill up a nice bubble bath. Hop in the tub and grab one of my favorite magazines, and then like 50 little cards fall in and land in my bath! Hello, if I have a subscription already, I don't need ten thousand cards. I think I am good.

16. My mom's husband is only 7-years older than I. Can you say cougar? Don't call her that though, it will totally piss her off. Haha, she looks super young I promise.

17. Tyler introduced me to a lot of music that I have no idea how I lived without. I owe him credit for that. Big time. I was music loser before...admittedly!

18. I married and had two kids with the boy that teased me about being flat chested in the 8th grade.

19. I love designer denim. I have a jeans collection worth as much as some people's cars, well maybe my little brothers cars.Most of the pants are super tight on me right now cause I have been on this fast food/eat candy everyday like it's going out of style kick. Hahaha. Boooo!

20. I have some really close friends in many states, but I have only lived in this one. I have close friends in FL, OR, NM, TX, WA, CA, and NY.

21. My daddy was in a band when I was growing up. He is an amazing guitar player, although now he just works A LOT.

22. I have owned 5 cars since I was 16! They were an 89' Chevy Beretta, a 92' Honda Civic, a 2003 Toyota Corolla, a 2005 Toyota Corolla, and now a 2006 Honda Civic. Three of the cars were totaled in car accidents, each not my fault!!

23. I didn't go to my High School Prom.

24. My favorite summer memory from 2008 was going boating at Flaming Gorge. I cried on the waverunners though and begged to be taken back. It was scary.

25. I really hope that I get the opportunity to meet Stephen King before I die. No kidding, I think he is an amazing writer. I'd love to pick his brain.
