Five Things You Probably Never Knew About Me (tagged by Kath):

1. I qualified for the State level Spelling Bee in Elementary School. It happened to coincide with a trip my ultra-cool grandmother invited me on (anything with her was and still is COOL). I chose going to western Kansas with my grandmother to visit her relatives, and I learned about: condoms in vending machines, the proper way to flip someone off, and cigarettes. One of the best times of my life, and I'm awfully glad I spent that time with her.

2. I'm adopted. I've mentioned that before, but it's worth mentioning again. Adopted at a month and twelve days old. Lived in a foster home for a short time before that. And I think it's awesome to have a child - because truly, he is my only 'real' blood relative. I'm amazed every time I look at him.

3. I was a music (vocal and piano) and theater major in college, but my favorite thing was the marching band - something I never qualified for in college. I hated playing the trumpet in high school and only stuck with it for marching band in high school. Total geek, I know. I'm seriously thrilled to watch the marching bands during the holiday parades. I am a nerd. I love marching band music. There, I said it!

4. Back when I was single, I turned down this Bronco player for an orgy in an hot tub in our complex. Niiiiiiiiiiiiice. (doesn't say much, really - he hit on everyone, I think)

5. My not-so-distant cousin is Kevin Costner. WOOOOOOOOOOOO. You know, that was okay to say during "Dances With Wolves", but not so much with "Water World" ....


Bonus Round: I'm sick. I have a cold. Zicam isn't working. Please remove my sinuses and tell me when it's all over.
