late, I know

got tagged with this like a week ago and i have been tardy in getting around to it.Six things you may not know about me ….The Rules …* Link to the person who tagged you * tressa @ storms whisper* List 6 random things about yourself* Tag 6 new people* Let each tagged person know by posting a comment on their blog* Link to the 6 people you’ve tagged* Let the person who tagged you know that you posted.

I once was licensed to drive HumVee's and 2 and-a-half ton trucks!! You know, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT, and I used to do it!!

Spelling mistakes? I won my 6th Grade spelling bee!!

Uh, I have driven a stolen car. Didn't do the hot wire thing, but I did ride and drive one.

That I really, really enjoy shopping. For ANYTHING. Just give me an excuse, and I will shop for it!!

Oooh! I skipped 4th grade? Some folks thought I may have been like a prodigy ... they should have thought again!!

I can't dance. Very, very, painful to watch. But I don't mind being silly for the right reasons!

One more from the service ... I was an expert shot coming out of basic training! I loved coming home telling people I could drop them from 3 football fields away! How cool is that?

Now, as to the passing this thing on ... I don't know how to link stuff up, and I can't bring myself to learn how, especially when I think it may intrude on some. Will suggest that Betty, Beth, Ken, Mary Jo, Randal and Russ if they are reading, that they join in!

I have those moments where it sounds unbelievable but I KNOW I lived it. Great 6 hon! (Hugs)Indigo

Beth said...

Thanks for suggesting that I do this, but I'll take a pass on this one! I can't think of anything particularly interesting that I haven't shared, and if there are things, they're probably not ones I want to divulge! ;)

Thanks Mark, but I think I will take a pass as well. I am a pretty simple person and pretty boring :o) Thanks for sharing some of your past though.

in case you want to read my list of 6s

was it hard to skip the 4th grade? my daughter skipped the 3rd grade and it was a period of adjustment; looking back, I probably wouldn't have had it do it but it seemed like a good thing at the time for her

its interesting to have a guy tht enjoys shopping; my husband likes it too; I'm the in and out of a store as quick as I can

I'm with you too; I can't dance; it's good I'm married to a musician; with him playing at night clubs I never had to dance and would tell people who asked me to dance that my boyfriend/husband was in the band and I didn't dance with anyone (good excuse to get out of dancing LOL)

I too know how it feels to do things and not believe it was me! Good thing for witnesses, or I would think it was a dream. My last job I drove big trucks through big cities! In bad weather with even worse drivers! If anybody knows, that is not me. I did like the job though, and was proud of myself for getting through it.

Thanks,
Wes

Just close your eyes and let the music move you. Most people do that on the dance floor. The real advantage is that if you can't dance, if everyone has their eyes closed, then no one can see you. If someone cheats and has their eyes open, then you won't be able to see them watching you nor dance very well. Yeah, I've been told that there is something seriously wrong with me.
