Sorry about the camera set-up! I couldn't figure out how to make the file editable. :)

25 Things About Me (in addition to my list on Facebook)

1. Not that it currently matters...I have decided that I do not want a "real" diamond engagement ring. Watch the movie Blood Diamond. You might change your mind, too. "People back home would not buy a diamond if they knew it cost someone their hand." -Jennifer Connelly in Blood Diamond
2. I had chicken pox as a toddler. I have a scar on the right side of my nose because my mother (not me, the toddler) knocked off a scab.
3. I am my mother's only child but not my father's.
4. I may buy a house between now and August.
5. I want to learn to play the piano.
6. I had to have 6 baby teeth pulled before I got braces in the 6th grade.
7. I don't think I will continue to get my Master's in Education...maybe in English - not Education.
8. My favorite movie is It's A Wonderful Life. Dangerous Minds is a close second.
9. I still want to be Mac from the TV show JAG.
10. I have been to the Bahamas twice.
11. I have parasailed.
12. I started babysitting when I was 11 years old. Ricky was 5 months old. What were my aunt and uncle thinking?!
13. Incorrectly used punctuation drives me nuts. See my "Punctuation Peeve" post.
    
14. I made an 800 on the verbal section of the SAT.
15. I almost majored in political science in college.
16. I paged in the Mississippi Senate my junior year of high school.
17. I tutored my school's football team in every core subject during my senior year.

19. I hated my kindergarten teacher because she refused to call me "Kristy" and instead called me "Kristin" for the entire year.
20. My dating life peaked in the 7th grade. Looking back, I'm kind of grateful.

25. I have never broken a bone. Just wait...it'll happen this week! LOL.
