I didn't get chosen, but I decided to play along anyway. I am not picking anyone either but if you want to play go ahead and answer my questions.

1. When I was 8 I ran into a parked truck on my bicycle. I had a roll of thin mint girl scout cookies between the handle of the bike and the brake, and I was chasing a boy and not paying attention to where I was going. But I still swear to this day that truck was not pulled in his driveway. My face left an indention on that truck literally.
2. There are days when I do not do a single thing all day but read and cook dinner for hubby, cause I gotta feed the man.
3. I do enjoy having the occasional alcoholic drink, but I do not let myself drink every often because it has a pull on me that I do not like. There are too many alcoholics in my family history for me to take that chance. Plus I have an addictive personality on top of everything else.
4. I love to munch on ice. Sonic has great ice, but there is a gas station in town that has sonic ice, but its twice the size. Yummy Yummy. Hubby will no longer buy me sonic ice cause I eat it instead of using it for drinks. 
5. I love the smell of cinnamon. This scent is a reminder of Christmas, and home, and all things cozy. I use cinnamon smelling stuff all year round.
6. I once got in a fight with one of my sister in laws. Yes a fist fight. She called a fat female dog one too many times. 
7. I miss working in the casino. I do not miss the second hand smoke, but it was a fun place to work.
8. I want to go back to school. I want to learn to be a professional photographer. I love being behind the camera. There is so much to know, to learn.
9. I had no clue about how much I would miss my Dad. I really took it for granted when he was here. 
10. I have horrible eye site. Mom got me my first pair of glasses when I was about 9. I did not know that the world had details in till I put on that first pair of glasses. Everything I saw were blobs. Mom told me before we went to pick up the glasses that she would wear her glasses (cause she got glasses also) and I would wear mine. She did not realize I would not want to take them off because I could see finally. She did not keep her end of the bargain.
11. Coupons have helped me become more out going. I have long conversations at the grocery store with random people about coupons. Usually I do not like to speak to people I do not know. I am very shy.
