Denise Patrick has tagged me to reveal 8 random things you didn't know about me.
Honestly, is there anything left I haven't already revealed on this blog? Well, I'll give it a shot, but I may be repeating myself.
1. I spent 20 minutes backstage with Garth Brooks in 1992. I won a contest on the radio for a limo ride to the concert and two backstage passes, plus great seats up front at the concert. It was my oldest son's 15th birthday and he was a huge Garth Brooks fan, so it was a great birthday present. And Garth was great. He autographed a bunch of stuff for us, showed us the pictures of his first little girl (we were one of the first to see them), and he treated my son like an adult.
2. I graduated from college at 35, after I'd already had four kids. The youngest was just a year old when I started back to school.
3. I used to be an avid scuba diver. The best place I dove was off the coast of Hawaii. Nearly killed myself, though. We'd been at 70 feet for nearly an hour, the deepest and longest I'd ever been down. The water was so clear, it looked like we were only 10 feet below the boat. When the dive master signaled me to ascend because my air was running low, I forgot to do a decompression stop and went straight to the top. Luckily I remembered at that point and descended back down to 15 feet and stayed there for a while.
4. I have a huge Beanie Baby collection I don't know what to do with, thanks to my mom.
5. I'm a pack rat. A huge pack rat. This is my year to clean up my act. Started clearing out my bedroom closet this week.
6. I make pets out of all of my animals, even the cows. They're all named, and they come running when I whistle.
7. I'm a night owl. I don't even start writing until around 10 p.m. and usually don't go to bed until nearly 3.
8. I'm hooked on 24, House, Jericho, CSI: Las Vegas. I hate reality shows, don't watch American Idol, Survivor, or any of those. Don't like sitcoms. I don't like reading books where the author writes in short, choppy sentences. Love thrillers.

Oh, man. The pack rat thing. Me too. I'm trying to clear things out this year, but it's hard. Good luck with it.
So far I've gotten rid of a sleeper sofa and a huge stack of magazines. I love Freecycle.
