This is a great thread

1) I am only 4' 11.75" and adults that are smaller than me make more uncomfortable than adults that are much larger than me.

2) I love to work on cars, but have not had the oppurtunity to learn much about them. I married a tech that loves to teach me and I help him build his Derby Cars every year. I am less than 115 lbs, but can properly swing a 5 lb sledge hammer accurately!

3) I started out as an inexperienced oil change tech when I was 30 yrs old and was promoted to Service Advisor a little over a year later at the company I currently work for. I would have prefered to work on the cars

4) I have had stitches twice, but have never broken a bone. Pretty amazing considering how many times I have been fallen on or kicked by a horse

5)I have two daughters and two step sons, two Great Danes and I drive an
'89 Suburban that I love. I also own an '87 F150 4X4 short bed which will become my beach truck (I inherited her when when Dad passed away). I have only ever owned one vehicle that was less than 15 years old and I hated it

6) I love surf fishing, but hate dragging all my stuff out on the beach (see above).
I love going on fishing charters and my dream is to go deep sea fishing. My hubby and I were supposed to spend our honeymoon fishing, but the weather was so horrible and surf so high, none of the boats were going out and it was not possible to cast over the breakers (we tried). We still had a blast cause we love each other's company

7) I have a weakness for Ben and Jerry's ice cream, but it must be chocolate (eating Fish Food with Reeses Pieces and melted Peanut Butter, now).

8) I love Sushi!

9) I am trying to grow my hair to knees so I can donate a portion of it to locks of love and still have long hair (its currently mid-thigh).

10) I volunteer with Great Dane Rescue in my area and I find it more rewarding than my "real job". I met and fell in love with Great Danes when I was approached by one while walking to school. She was taller than me and I gave her big hug and swore I would own one someday. I was 28 when I got my first and they are everything I want in a dog!

11) I love to read fiction, mostly horror (Steven King and Dean Koonts), but some other styles, too.

12) I am going to Mayhemfest in July because my brother in law's cousin is Rob Zombie's brother in law

13) I have never flown, have only been out of the country once (to Canada when I was a kid), but have been through every state on the eastern seaboard and rode in an 18 wheeler horse trailer from Clayton, DE to Oklahoma City, OK and back again.

14) I went to Oklahoma City, OK to the fairgrounds for the Morgan Horse Nationals as a show groom in 1999, I loved it!!
