This is from being "tagged" by Erin and April a couple weeks ago! Here are 8 things about myself. Enjoy!
1. When I was in 2nd grade I lost by cabbage patch moon boot in the snowbank at April and Erin's house and their dad (Mr.Patient) had to come rescue the boot with a ski pole.
2. To go along with the cabbage patch moon boots I also had cabbage patch ear muffs, that were the actual doll heads with hair....nice, huh? I also had a matching backpack.
3. One time in college while shopping at the Thift Shop in Cook my roommate from college (Raku) found my backpack from when I was in 3rd grade. It said, "Back off, I'm a ghostbuster" on it. It also had my name on it and said 3rd grade and then was crossed off and said 4th. Yes, she did buy it!
4. I have always traveled someplace for Christmas by plane. Most often it was Arizona to visit by dear grandpa. What special memories with all 14 of us staying in a 3 bedroom house.
5. When I was going to babysit (about 14 or so) I was in the car with the mom and she ran over one of our cats. I will never forget what that cat looked like flopping around on the ground.
6. When we lived in the UP of Michigan, I went to grad school in another time zone!
7. I was trained to be a lifeguard for the YMCA, and subbed for 2 summers at the Aquatic Center, I have since retired from that profession.
8. I was stung by a jellyfish while snorkeling in Mexico on our honeymoon...I had to follow some locals and they convinced be to take a couple pills and put some lotion on it. The only problem was I had no idea what they were saying.

I love the 'raku finding your backpack' story! Priceless.
I LOVED reading all your little stories about yourself! You have a wonderful memory and it was a hoot reading all of them! You have such an interesting life!! ;-) (from Becky)
I can't believe that I didn't know about the babysitter/cat story! I'll need more info on that one...
Plus- cabbage patch ear muffs rock!
Love you
Ah yes, the Thrift Store shopping extravaganzas in Cook! Loved those!! You were always guaranteed to find at least one TRUE treasure there. :)
Fun stories!
I love your 8 things, Amy! I wish you still had those cabbage patch ear muffs... though you wouldn't need them in Hawaii next week. Thanks for sharing such fun facts!
