Ketchup

I’m delinquent in a lot of things that I need to catch up on (hence the pun, sorry it’s so bad).  One of these is passing on awards.  The Lovely Blog Award by fadedfairytale, who has a fun mix of bucket list items, baking and writing items.

I couldn’t seem to get the borders to copy with the badge, so it looks a little strange…Really must learn WP more thoroughly.

List 7 things about myself that won’t put you to sleep…

1.  I was pretty much a wallflower type personality until I hit college.

2.  My Brother taught me colorful language at the age of about 7, much to my dismay.  Charming, no?  It’s a difficult habit to break, especially when STRESSED!

3.  When people hear my voice, which sounds like mini mouse on helium, they find it difficult to believe I have an Irish temper, which I inherited from my dad.

4.  In spite of my Irish temper, I forgive VERY easily.  After all, I’d want the same, and hey, we’re only human.

5.  I was involved in three car accidents during the six weeks of Behind the Wheel, after which I refused to drive until my mother made me.  (None were my fault, by the way.  Two hit and runs while I was minding my own business, the third I wasn’t driving, but was knocked unconscious–see, I told you, Schleprock).

6.  Things happen to me.  Once when I was in line at a Dairy Queen, when it came my turn, the guy at the counter leaned over slightly and addressed the person BEHIND to wait on.  I looked myself over to make sure I wasn’t invisible or offensive in any way, then said, “Are you kidding me?”

7.  See?  When I said if I wrote a book about my life and people wouldn’t believe half of it, that’s the kind of stuff I meant…among other things…
