5 Things You Didn't Know About Me

1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a veterinarian, and a movie star, and a gymnist, and a dermatologist (my mom told me I would be a millionaire cause by the time I was old enough to be a doctor most people would have skin cancer).

2. My very first job was working as a telemarketer for a photography studio. I quit the first day. I don't like telemarketers, and if I WAS a telemarketer, I would have to hate myself... and I just can't do that. Besides, this place had to be pretty hard up if they were offering free weekend trips to Lake Tahoe or Las Vegas just so people would buy a picture package.

3. I don't enjoy camping anymore (This does NOT mean that I do not enjoy the outdoors... I LOVE the outdoors.)

4. My first car was a 1978 silver-blue Caprice Classic that I paid $500 for. It died a week after I bought it. It was so big that I had to sit on a pillow when I drove it. The only reason I bought it was because I thought it was cool that it was made in 1978 and I was born in '78.

5. I have the entire movie "ghostbusters" memorized. I can quote it word for word AND make all the sound effects.

I've missed a few posts, so I have to say...

I LOVE The Neverending Story. You need to let me borrow Falkor sometime.

Sorry that Paul almost got lost. That must have been scary.

When you wrote about what you wanted to be when you grew up, it reminded me that when I was little, I wanted to be a roller skater. That's right, for a profession. I REALLY liked the movie Xanadu.

Why am I not surprised that you can quote the whole movie word for word? Edith, you rock! Thanks for making me laugh today.
