This little meme is currently circulating on Facebook. Thought it would be good blog fodder...
25 random things about me:
1. My favorite color is orange
2. I was on Romper Room when I was a kid... I still remember it
3. I wanted to be a Broadway star when I was little and would put on shows for my family. My favorites to sing were Barbara Streisand songs
4. I don't like the last bit of beverages in bottles or cartons. I won't finish the milk
5. I doodle on everything
6. I ran into Goldie Hawn when shopping at a specialty food store in Vancouver BC
7. I want to visit every Disney park... I have been to the ones in California and France.
8. I had a secret service pass for one day when the President came to the Baltics...I met the Clintons while in the Peace Corps
9. I love flowers...my favorites are peony, hydrangea & roses. My grandma had the most beautiful walkway with roses...anytime I smell one I think of her.
10. I frequently dream about tornados
11. I have over 300 "To-Do" items on my life/bucket list. I've crossed 24 items off since I made it two years ago

18. I love to swim and used to swim on summer and year round swim teams growing up. I was always extremely tan and used to tell people I was Puerto Rican... don't ask me why. Must have seen a beautiful Puerto Rican woman at some point when I was kid. Might have just liked saying it?

Dental update:
LB made it through AND we got x-rays. She's excited to be part of the no-cavity club. I learned on the way to the dentist that she is most afraid of the flouride treatment at the end because it's so sticky and yucky. Thankfully, they were able to use a different kind today since they were successful with using the little suction tube...last time it made her gag and vomit. The x-rays confirmed that LB's mouth is going to be too crowed and orthodontia is in our future....woo hoo. I don't know if there is enough "happy" gas in the world to get LB to relax for jaw surgery and/or braces.

Fun post. I love learning all these fun facts about folks.
Oh good! I'm SO glad she made it through! And the part about you telling people you were Puerto Rican cracked me up : )
I think we should do culinary school together when we're both rich. Can you imagine how FUN THAT WOULD BE?!
Romper Room? I bow to your greatness! Please forgive me for all that I have done without correctly worshipping you! You are the gravity that hold the human race upon this earth!
Can I have your autograph?
LOL - on a side note, I am so glad she came out of the dentist without have to hurt anyone! I hope each visit for her gets a lot easier each time.
Romber Room? Lucky! I loved that show!
