I totally borrowed this from another blog. (I don't remember right now whose it was.) I'm going to tell you 13 things about me that I don't think I've told you on my blog before. I think that's the point of this.... duh! Thanks, Captain Obvious. Anyways, here goes:
1. I hate potatoes.
2. I am 5'8".
3. I've never been out of the country. (This country's not stupid... they know to keep a good thing when they see it)
4. I have lots of freckles... and then lots more freckles.... and still more freckles.
5. I've got 2 great-grandmother's that are still alive.
6. I love Goofy and Goofy stuff.
7. My birthday is always the longest day of the year. (summer equinox)
8. I was born the exact same day as Prince William.
9. I love the Black Raspberry Vanilla scent from Bath and Body Works.
10. I was expelled from college once.
11. My middle name is Renee.
12. I've been pulled over 6 or 7 times, and only got 1 ticket.
13. I am a very safe and cautious driver! =)~ What? You think this is a joke? Puh-lease!
There ya' go. I think down here, I'm supposed to tell you where the code is and how to link up with other blogs that do the "Thursday Thirteen" thing, but I lost the code, and don't know where to find it and I don't remember how to find the other blogs that do it. Now I'll probably get all kinds of hate mail for being a "bad Thursday Thirteen-ist". Oh well.

I gotta here this college story as well??

Oh great... Now comes the showdown. Go ahead guys, count 'em up. All the fibulas and tibulas and mandibles and philanges.... yeah yeah yeah. Add 'em up... it's showdown time.
Who will have the most broken bones?
Oh, then you have to tell how you broke each one! ha ha
I like to say that I've broken many major bones due to my love of extreme sports. But alas, I cannot. But I have broken many things. I broke my foot once, tripping over my own two feet, trying to catch the bus for a kid I gave detention to the second day of school. I have also broken 7 teeth biting down on a fork of spaghetti, watching a stupid B movie. I have pulled bone off with the muscle in my hip falling down a flight of stairs. I cracked my wrist doing summersaults on pillows. Ah...living life on the edge!
oh, Beth... You are 6 feet tall, and still wear high-heels? How do you do it? I don't feel comfortable wearing heels at 5'8, because it makes me so tall!
And what in the world is "clucking jingle bells"?
I've even played basketball in heels...not well, but I've played. I always thought heels were pretty and wanted someting to make my big feet look better. The height thing doesn't bother me. I've always stuck out being so tall, what's 3 more inches? As for intimidating guys, I did that without shoes on. If they did get the nerve to ask me out, I figured they must have gotten over the height thing.
Clucking jingle bells...hmmm. Do you remember the chickens on the Muppet Show? I used to mimick them in front of the mirror getting ready for school. It became a habit. I'd like to say it's a talent now, but... I had a student one time say that she didn't know what alarmed her the most, the fact that I could cluck jingle bells or the fact that I practiced!
Yep. That's me. I'm a six foot tall, high hell wearing, jingle bell clucker.
high HEEL! oops!
The one's you don't remember don't count.
First..
Left arm.. 3 places.. My brother launched me across a room with his feet. A rocket ride. He lays on back I sit on his feet and he kicks forward. I fly, break, scream
rebreak same arm 4 weeks later
Right arm 2 places.. roller skating off a wooden bike jump... Ghetto
Left arm again... soccer
left elbow dislocation... soccer
Nose 3 times... one time a door the othe a base ball the other wrestling.
Fractured my right eye socket with a snow ski. This ski also detached my retina and caused 2 laser surgeries.
Right ankle.. first time I ever tried to do a 360 off a bike ramp.
Right shoulder.... snowboarding.. first time I tried to do a backflip. On skis I can do these all day long... snowboard... ummm not so much. I continue to put this shoulder out for 4 years because I am stubborn and HATE doctors. I have surgery. I rip it all out after 6 months of rehab by barge wake jumping on a jet ski on the willamette river.
Fingers and toes... yep.. a few of em...
Fractured heart... ha ha ok just kidding (not so much)
Collar bone/// bmx bike and a tree... nuff said
Punctured lung and broken rib via a ski pole... that whole back flip thing... when I really learned that its best to not carry your poles as you flip. I landed on a ski pole that stabbed me. not fun.
I know there is more....
oh but Kristie if you say Katie-Rae with a long drawn out southern accent it sounds like something hollared across a trailer-park. I would also gladly take freckles from you in a transplant because I would still love to have them sprinkled across the bridge of my nose. Ugh soggy bread does make me gag - STEVE. I wouldn't win a broken bones contest because all my bones are intact but the tendons of my ankles are stretch out so much they could belong to Gumby. Also I wear high heels and I'm 5'9. I don't have a problem being taller than the guys in them unless they have a problem, then I'm fine with flats.
Katie--i so busted out laughing at the "trailor park" reference! Hilarious!
Steve--I think you win! Goodness, that is some crazy stuff. It's a wonder you are even alive. All that accomplished already in life, and you're still young! I hope you're done breaking bones though--on to bigger and better things, right?
Yeah Logan and I had to meet later in life because we would have dared each other to our own deaths as kids....
but steve, were you and Logan ever "kids" at the same time?
:)
Okay I'm a little late on getting in on the broken bone and making fun of Steve action, but I'll give it a whirl anyway!
A. No broken bones: almost a finger once. But if I told you that story, I'd have to melt into the floor never to resurface again.
B. Steve, what the crap?! Were you TRYING to get yourself killed? Your poor mother!
Okay. I'm done for now. ;)
Oh wait and uh... Soggy Bread?
Steve:
Plan 9 From Outer Space
The Brain That Wouldn't Die
Ape Man
The Terror
Mr. Moto's Last Warning
Attack of the Giant Leaches
Logan is so scared of losing the "who broke more bones" contest, that he never came back from lunch! ha ha
Cute post. I have some vanilla black raspberry, too. Love it.
Ouch ya'll! The funny thing is that you keep doing the same type stunts and get injured all over again. Are all guys like this? Do I need to be prepared for this type of stuff with my little son? At least I'm in an area where there's not hockey. Broken bones can be dealt with...watching my son's teeth fly across the ice is quite another. (Shudder!)
Ok I need to get in on the action:
1) The last live concert I saw was Styx with Kansas as the opening act. That was in 1996.
2) I started collecting baseball cards in 1976 and stopped in 1995.
3) My dad got me into baseball in 1975, when the Red Sox and Reds played in the World Series.
4) I've been to Fenway Park more times than I can count but I've only been to three Celtics games and three Bruins games.
5) I won season tickets to the Patriots for the 2000 season. They went 5-11. The next year they won their first of three Super Bowls.
6) I sat next to Stephen King at Fenway Park, though didn't know who he was at first.
7) My two oldest friends and I slept over each others houses for about six or seven New Year's Eve's in a row.
8) My paternal grandfather will be 97 in May. My other grandfather died in 1985 at 68. My maternal grandmother will be 89 in August. My other grandmother died in 2001 at 94.
9) I am interested in my family's geneaology and can trace an unbroken male line back to the mid 1600's
10) I won $5,000 on a single Massachusetts State Lottery scratch ticket on Feb. 14, 1994.
11) I always carry a pocket size Bible in my left back pants pocket.
12) I totaled my first car by running it into a telephone pole exacttly one week after proposing to my girfriend (now ex-wife). Split that telephone pole clean in half, too.
13) My parents had three dogs while I was growing up, but not at the same time. Two were beagles and the other was a Yorkshire Terrier. All of them were female.
the fact that you admit how many times you got your butt kicked as a youth makes you the BIG loser Logan... sorry... learn how to block a punch... jeesh
;-)
You guys are too funny. Maybe we should declare whoever breaks the next bone the winner! ha. That will be fun!
Yeah, fun for all but the one who ends up in the hospital...well maybe the one who has to pay the bill!! :)
Wow!
Your two great-grandmothers are still with you. This is a very special blessing.
What a great way to learn all about you. Amber is a "Goofy" girl too so I'm already comfortable having a Goofy daughter. ;-)
I will keep in mind to serve you mac and cheese instead of potatoes, haha.
Thanks for sharing:-)
God's Grace.
