41

Yep, it's true, Today I am 41. If you know me well, you know I am 21 but according to my birth certificate, it's 41. If you look closely at the picture Sammie drew for me you can see 2 hidden "41's". You can also see "Birthday" written backwards and me catching money from the sky. LOL!

So in honor of 41, I am going to share 41 random things about myself. I started this list last year when I was turning 40- and got to #37, never finished it. So, here it is... a year later and a few more random things added. Some are facts about me and others are things I have learned in all my years!! :)

1. Time goes fast.

2. I love being a mommy.

3. Enjoy the moments, remember the details.

4. Always buy 2 of something you like.

5. I have been to a lot of places. Walt Disney World 5 times, and 8 cruises

6. Live how you want, do what you want, don't wait for anyone or anything!

7. I have had 6 cars so far and I named them all. ( Chuck, Fivel, Pretzel, Comet, Hi Ho Silver, Gomek)

8. I have been to 10 concerts. George Michael and Duran Duran twice. Oh, and I saw Wham so I guess George gets 3 points for concerts. The rest are General Public, Oingo Boingo, English Beat, Depeche Mode, and Heart.

9. I am a procrastinator, but then I turn that energy into productivity.

10. I swam with Stingrays in the Cayman Islands.

11. I climbed Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica. ( just like in the movie cocktail) I got my hair braided too.

12. I ditched high shool ONCE (on my 18th birthday with my brother) and got caught!! LOL!

28. I went to 3 different junior high schools for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades because we moved 3 times.
