25 random things about me

1. I lived in the same city from the time I was a baby until I graduated from high school. Most of those years we lived in the same house. That house is for sale, if you’re interested (mls listing).
2. I have worked at 5 different companies. All but 1 of them has since gone out of business.
3. I have been to Disney World. Uncle Dave wanted to take his family. I have no idea how he convinced my dad to spend the money to go. It was the 4 of us and Dave and Tami with my cousins, Matthew and Christine.
4. My grandmother on my mom’s side says my name (Amy Beth) came from the book “Little Women”. My parents say that wasn’t their inspiration.
5. I didn’t try to get my driver’s license until I turned 17. I passed the first time.
6. Right now, I have a cold and it’s making my left eye water.
7. My favorite meal at the Cheesecake Factory is Pasta da Vinci.
8. I have been in an ambulance 2 times.
9. I have 2 children and 1 on the way. They were all “planned”.
10. I knew Nathan for 4 years before we dated.
11. I have been lonely quite a bit lately.
12. We have no credit card debt.
13. I just sent Ethan to his room.
14. I read the Betsy-Tacy books when I was little and I loved them.
15. We didn’t have a TV in our house from the time I was 4 until I was 17 except for special ocassions when Dad would bring one home from work.
16. I went to a tiny Christian school from 1st-12th grade. We were small enough that for any activity to work, all the kids had to be involved. So, I was in vocal ensembles, Christmas dramas, student council, volleyball and yearbook. Even though I did lots of different activities, I still don’t feel all the confident in my ability in any of those things since we were such a small school. If we were bigger, I probably wouldn’t have been good enough to participate.
17. My step-grandma only has one eye.
18. I was voted “shyest” kid in school when I was in 1st grade.
19. I had a Cabbage Patch Kid named “Althea Ginger”.
20. We live too close to the elementary school in Winsted to be able to use the bus. If Ethan goes to kindgergarten here, I will have to drive him or walk with him (towing along the two littler ones) to and from school.
21. I didn’t have any pets growing up.
22. Shopping malls make me tired.
23. I have had my tonsils and adenoids removed.
24. I have had mono.
25. I’ve never lived far enough from my parents that it would be long distance to call them.
