8 Random Things You Probably Never Wanted To Know...

I was tagged by my friend Hollie to give 8 random facts/habits about myself.

The Rules:

1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (**if you’re a non-blogger, you can email them!)
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

My eight random facts and/or habits:

1. I graduated #5 in my class of 350. I actually spent years thinking I was #4. My mom unfortunately corrected me in front of my new boyfriend at the time. Thanks mom. What helped get me in the top ten was my junior year when I had all honors classes. How do you have all honors classes? Honors BAND. Yes... you can somehow get honors credit for band. All you have to do is go to some artsy thing outside of school... write up some paper... turn it in... and there you go. Honors credit!! Beautiful. Oh yeah. Speaking of band - I was Flag Captain my junior and senior years after my sister Lacey was Flag Captain her jr/sr years. (They were SO ready to get us out of there! Haha!) And I dropped my flag EVERY UIL competition. I was also band chaplain. I was told I was the fastest prayer this side of the Red River. Guess I just wanted to get it over with!

2. I worked at Kwik Kar Lube & Tune in high school. No... I didn't change the oil. I was the cashier. :) I HATED it. My step-mother's cousin owned it and he needed help... so thats what I did. Blah.

3. I'm obsessed with gum. I must have some at all times. And it usually is the dark blue Extra kind. And there IS a way to pull it out of the package. You have to pull out the first piece where the flap faces out.

4. I have an unhealthy obsession with greeting cards, gift bags and pens. Almost everytime I go to the store, I will see if they have any fun "new" cards or gift bags. There have been times when I have been known to have a "low" day at work where I will run to the huge Tuesday Morning (the main one by the Galleria) and pick up some of their fancy gift bags. What is weird is I have a hard time parting with them because they are so cute. I have so many... but because they are so "special", it takes a lot of talking myself into actually putting a gift in them and giving them out!! Weird. I know. I'm starting to get better with the pens though thank goodness. (or maybe my addiction has just shifted to another thing!!)

5. Ok. I'm almost embarassed to say this. I'm an Aggie and I have never been to the Chicken. Ok... there. I said it.

6. I can't go 2 days without shaving. I can't STAND being underneath the covers and feel my unshaven legs! My future husband will love me...

7. A couple of years ago, I blacked out on a treadmill at 24Hour Fitness. (don't worry... it wasn't even moving!) Ambulance/firetruck came. Got a staple in the back of my head. SO embarassing. Didn't go back there for a while.

8. When I was in 4th grade, I wanted a spiral perm and my mom was cheap so she got my aunt to give me one. Well, the curls were definitely "spiral shaped" but lets just say that she left the chemicals in a little longer than she should have! I came out looking like orphan Annie! Seriously. Not a good time... Plus, was that around the same time as my Sally Jesse Raphael glasses?? No. That was 5th grade.

I'm not sure there is anyone left to tag!
