My "6"

More random facts. Because I guess you people just can't get enough of me!!

1. I only had two career choices growing up. I either wanted to be a Neo-natal nurse, or a child psychologist. You see how well those two panned out.

2. In high school I had my life all planned out- go to college, go on a mission, finish my dental hygeine program, travel Europe, and THEN finally meet my dentist husband and get married. All before I was 24- I had determination.

3. I drove a pink Ford Aspire in high school. If this wasn't bad enough- my junior year of HS we moved to Santa Ynez California where everyone but me and a few other ghetto kids were the only ones not getting BMW's, and Mercedes for our 16th birthdays. Serious character building experience.

4. I used to hate when people would not put carts back in the "corral"- and then I had kids and became one of those people.

5. I save tons of coupons. My wallet is chuck full, and I hardly ever use any of them.... but I can't let them go unclipped, because I might (just might) need them!!

6. I the first and only time I have been to a drive in was after Jeremy and I were married. We went to the drive-in because Jeremy was shocked I hadn't been before. We got the full experience since our battery died and we had to get a jump start at 1 am. Good times.

Hey, just be glad you had a car in high school. I had to drive the mini-van until the end of my senior year when my parents thought they were bestowing the best gift upon me when I was plagued with an old Mazda 626 that continually overheated and broke down on me. I love how you wanted to be a neo-natal nurse and a child psychologist. You are getting to use those skills on your own kids!

I think I want to see a picture of the pink car. Is it like bright pink, or like Mary Kay Cadillac pink?

I used to hate it when people wouldn't put carts back in the corral either. Now I'm guilty of leaving my cart out too. About 2 years ago, some lady at target saw me doing it, and she tapped on my window and made me go put my cart back. I was embarrassed!

Elizabeth said...

So, from the #2 fact, how many of those things actually happened?

slyn said...

lindsay, I can't believe someone told you to put your cart away! What a loser! I want to see this pink car as well. It had to be better than a brown diesel station wagon.

Kris said...

Stephanie (slyn), I know exactly what station wagon you are talking about. I remember you and Matthew driving that thing. Now that's a classic. Since we are talking about cars, I had a '87 Buick that was purple! Her name was Violet!

Heather, you had lots of aspiration in the younger years wanting to be a Dental Hygienist, Nurse, and Psychologist! Not me, that would be too much studying!!

Marilyn said...

I love these lists, you learn so mcuh about people from just 6 random facts.

goddessdivine said...

#4 made me laugh. I have to admit I get annoyed with those people who don't put their carts away; but I don't have kids. (Seriously though, the wind could blow and they could ram right into my car....which would tick. me. off).

Thanks for the tag. I will get on that soon....

Heather said...

Good question elizabeth! For those of you who haven't ever met me in real life....

I went to college and finished with my AA, but then I got married before I even turned 20 (so no mission), didn't attempt a dental hygeine program (cuz I was a newlywed and broke, I haven't ever been to Europe, and my hubby is not a dentist.

So- one out of five!

tharker said...

Great list Heather! You would have made a lovely neo-natal nurse.

I didn't have a car in high school, but I did get to ride in the car to church(and everywhere else) with my parents in the huge old Mercury with a sticker on the back window that said "Bitchin". Awesome, let me tell ya!

Eliza said...

These are interesting! I will answer on my 6 today...I have to think about them first!

Melissa said...

Your life plan sounds a lot like mine... college for a few years, mission, finish college with a degree in Marine Biology, move to Australia to work for a few years, then get married and start a family. Odd how things don't work out quite as we planned :)
Love the music!

Vern said...

Did you just tag me or is that another Kristy? How embarrassing if I posted 6 random facts claiming to have a friend in cyberspace who deemed me worthy and then you had to come back and say, "Uh, nice list, but I wasn't actually talking to you."

PRP said...

Love the list. Even though I think I know you quite well, it's always fun to learn more.

thewamfam said...

Hey Heather, you know the only reason why I used to ride to school w/you was because you had the Classic Pink Aspire! Oh the good old days.

Jackie B. said...

You always seem to tag me. I guess i better get thinking. :)
