1. I hate tomatos, yet I can eat brushetta, a little tomato sauce, pizza etc. Its weird, just plain tomatos taste horrible to me!
2. I am an only child. I have debated throughout my life whether or not its been a good thing. I believe I may have missed out on having a sibling but also believe that being an only child helped shape who I am and the kind of person I became.
3. I have lost 20 lbs. since September 2006 and have managed to maintain my current weight during that time. I want to lose an additional 10 lbs. so I will be at my freshman year of college weight. I am satisfied with where I am but want to feel healthier.
4. I had 5 surgeries on my right leg due to an achillis tendon tear. One of the worst periods of my life. It lead to a lot of introspection and questioning of how we are living our lives.
5. I have been known to read smutty books or stories!! shhhhhh
6. I cry at almost any sad story, commercial, book, etc.
7. I love Christmas and shopping for presents. I wish I had the money to buy everyone I know a present I know they would enjoy!
8. I can still rollar skate!!
I suppose this is the part where I am supposed to tag some people......how about weltek cheesehead, slharris, and kimmah....don't worry kids if it takes forever!!

Arrested!!
Mario needs to slow down, koko has a lead foot, the police love me!! giggles....and on with the story.....
Last Friday morning I was late for work, day dreaming about Tim Horton's and I think sex, and was not paying much attention to my speed. Until I spotted the Columbus Freeway Patrol car, look down at the speedometer and see that I am cruising along at 80 mph! Oh shit was my out loud thought and decided to pull over. The Police did not even have to put on their lights, I just knew I was caught, no way to fight this one.
See Dear Officer Venrick (DOV from here on out) walks up does his little speech about did I know why he pulled me over etc. I told him yes and that I was off in la la land and that my vehicle never feels like I am really going that fast. I figured the truth could not be any worse than a lie I could come up with. DOV smiles and says well its your lucky day then because I am on a training excercise and have 3 recruits with me. ! I am thinking YES.....as the recruit is walking up to the vehicle. So we go through the speech again, I hand the recruit my license, insurance and registration information. They say they will be right back, even though we all know this takes at least 10 minutes.
My 10 minutes pass on by and DOV comes back to my vehicle and says "I HAVE SOME BAD NEWS!" I am a little bit surprised which turns to shock when his next statement is "THERE IS A WARRANT OUT FOR YOUR ARREST!" I literally did the Home Alone face and was stuttering wha wha what?! DOV then states "oh there is more....your license is expired!" Now I am thinking "oh my god" and ask DOV "am I going to be arrested?" At this point I am thinking wait wait, I told DOV that I did have 2 tickets in the fall in Pike County but I paid those promptly back in November. DOV was actually being very kind, I mean come on....middle aged mom in a SUV with juice bags, stuffed animals and toy cars all over the place, not too mention how cute I looked that day, how could DOV resist!! Anyway, DOV states that they are going to check and make sure that the warrant is still valid and that more than likely no arrest will be made.
At this point I am in panic mode. I call my office and speak to the young attorney, Brian, to let him know the situation. He makes a call to a buddy that takes care of traffic court violations and says he can meet me at the courthouse if needed. After I speak with Brian I call my husband who proceeds to ask me what I am wearing, I tell him and hubby replies "you are gonna look good as a jail bird with all those ladies up in the courthouse!" So that really gets me giggling. I was going to have one of two emotions. Either cry and panic or laugh at myself and the situation. I chose laughter!
P.S. More to come.....you know my stories can never end with one telling!
