7 Weird Facts - Tagged again

This Gal tagged me awhile back for a meme about my hometown and I skipped out on it. Not much to write about the town that I live in now where the one landmark is a Mobil Station and we have no stores. Seriously, the highlight of living here is the low crime rate, the occasional bear at the bird feeder, and the hour drive to either the mountains, seacoast or Boston.

This week, One Gal tagged me again for the Random and/or Weird Facts about Me meme. I had to look back to see what I wrote for the last Meme which sounded similar to this one. But the last one was 8 Things about me and this is random or weird facts, mmmm, sounds like a challenge to me. So here goes:

1. When I was about 10 years old, I once ate a Sugar Daddy in the car with the window open and then got my hair stuck on the candy. I can't remember how we got it out, but I do remember the incident.

2. Well, since I have picture up of the Sugar babies, I might as well admit that as an adult I pulled out a crown while eating a Sugar Baby. Okay, so my kids didn't like them and I was just helping to finish up some leftover Halloween candy. This was before I learned how to throw out the candy.

3. My current dentist is a very nice person, but I hated the dentist that I had when I was growing up. His humming was obnoxious and now I am dealing with the humongous fillings that he put in 30 years ago which need replacing with crowns. He was mean and told me that I was a baby. I should have told him that he hummed off key.

4. I hate getting my teeth cleaned, it takes all my energy and patience not to rip the very nice hygienist's hands from my mouth.

5. I once almost failed a math class in college because it was scheduled the same time as All My Children. Now, how pathetic is that? Beanie---Don't get any ideas and repeat after me, "Skipping college classes that I paid good money for, is stupid and very irresponsible."

6. I went to a parochial school and can still recite my helping verbs and can't even remember what grade that was for. Am, is , are, was, were, be, being, been, have, has,had, do, does, did, shall, should, can, could, may , might, must... maybe I could be on a game show or something.

7. There are some commercials that I actually enjoy and when my husband watches Nascar while I am on the laptop, I will look up during commercials. This year my favorite is the "Rabbit Release" for Tylenol.......

Now the rules:
1. Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

I won't be tagging, but if you would like to write up a 7 Weird Facts, let me know and I will link back.

The following have already shared their 7 Weird Facts:

Tuesday Transistions

I love Tuesday blogging, my work week is half over and I don't have to really think creatively until tomorrow night for Thursday Thirteen. There's some exciting stuff going on here. A friend of mine has four kittens and we may be getting one, I think my two younger sons and I couldn't believe that my husband didn't put up a fight. ( Now this is where I find out if my oldest son in college or his girlfriend reads my blog...wonder when I will get a phone call?) More on that later this week.

Penny over at Just Bloggin' Along has tagged me with The Name Game.

The rules: List one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don't have a middle name, use one you would like to have. Tag one person for each letter of your middle name.

M
- Mother, somedays I just look at my kids and wonder where the time went from when they were babies to the big galumpers that they are now. Being a mother, makes me appreciate my mother that much more. (Yes that "happy" baby would be me!)

A
- Absurd. Sometimes I just come up with the dumbest, visual images. My latest was last week at the golf course with my friends. We all played terrible, but on one particular hole, every chip onto the green with it's undulating hills had us all talking to our balls in the air. "Come Back, Come Back"...it just brought to mind the scene in Titanic where Rose is freezing to death on the door calling to her rescuers. Pretty absurd mind...but I found it amusing. We have a lot of movie references and repeated dialogue in our family.

R
- Reading, I love to read. Would read above anything else if I wasn't so compulsive about finishing books. Blogging has been great for finding new books and authors to read. This blog is about the best book that I read this past summer: Double Bind.

I
- Imagination. I like to think about the what ifs. Especially on the golf course when my golf balls refuse to follow the imagined course of flight. My imagination is really active during big Powerball weeks....

E
- Ebony Ann, my husband and I had the bestest Black Lab ever. Seriously, we got her when she was a year old and she was trained for obedience competitions. The absolute best dog to bring anywhere. Based on our experience with her, I don't think we would have the ability to give another dog a chance.

I think that many have already done the Name Game Meme, so I won't be tagging. But if you haven't and want to give it a go, link on back and I will check it out.
