Five, Five, Five, Five, Five

Five, Five, Five, Five, Five Things About Me.

1.  I always wanted to be a drummer in a marching band when I was young.  Oh, how I love that thump, thump, thump, then that big rumble when the band starts....

2.  Chocolate isn't my "go to" for a sweet treat.  I know, I'm not normal.

3.  I LOVE big roller coasters and going fast.  I once did a "ride-along" in a NASCAR at Michigan Speedway and at Talladega Superspeedway, both times a HUGE thrill, going faster than 150 MPH...the driver wouldn't tell me exactly how fast, just "over 150".  WOW.  


(And, for the record, Talladega is the better track, because coming out of the pits is a huge thrill in itself, then the first turn, oh. My.  Word!)

4.  I love Suburbans.  We have two.  One is good --named Dixie--and the other is better.  The better one is for the grownups.  We just got her and haven't named her yet.  Her name will come to me.  

The good one is for the teenager to drive.  It's nice and big.  And nice and safe.  Lots of metal, sits up high, and has four wheel drive.  He goes to school in the middle of miles and miles and miles of farm fields, so, believe me, the four wheel drive is handy because the drifts get mighty big.

5.  Sometimes I snort when I laugh really hard, and mostly, I laugh loud.  Sometimes, I really don't like it that I laugh loud, but I just can't help it--I think I was born this way.  I've tried to laugh quietly --and then I laugh and shake violently, because the force of the laughter is inside and it can't get OUT.  

Levi has started to try to imitate my laugh.  I feel honored.  And it's darn cute.

Okay, now can you tell me something about you?  One, two, three, four or five.  I'd like to get to know you better.

Five Things About Me

1. My name was AMY for three days before my dad named me "JOAN".
?

2. I have a dream of becoming a writer.
This blog, it turns out, is my preparation for that.
The discipline of writing an entry almost every day is getting me prepared
for the job it will be to write.


3. I like to people-watch. Always have, always will.
As kids, my sisters and I had the best time imitating accents, voices and mannerisms.
Without a television, we found a way to entertain ourselves.
It's FUN!

4. I love my country and wish I could have been a soldier.
I think I would have been well-prepared for it because of the way I was raised.

5. I would like to be buried in pajamas as opposed to uncomfortable Sunday clothes. And please NO GLASSES on the nose
when I'm laying in repose.
(I'm a poet, dont'cha know it!?)
Who sleeps with their glasses on, I ask!?!?

Now, aren't you glad I didn't write TEN things about me?
Heh.

Have a nice weekend!
