3rd installment of 100 things about me

Posted by sherriknits

I give up.  I cannot make it keep numbering.  This is 41-60. 

 

1.    I do not like to fly, I do not like big cities, I do not like being far away from my kids….so everyone I know was shocked when we were deeply moved to go to New York on a mission trip to help with the cleanup after 9-11.  The kids were even more surprised when I called home from the top of the Empire State Building and was screaming into the phone, “You won’t believe how beautiful it is!”  What they said to me was “What WE can’t believe is that you are UP there at all!” Loved it.  

2.     My heart’s desire is to go back to New York .  

3.     I saw the Beatles on August 25, 1966 in Seattle .  Their last concert was August 30, 1966.  My ticket cost $6. I can still remember what I wore.  

4.     I met John Wayne twice and was in his movie McQ, but ended up on the cutting room floor.  Hubby was in the band that did make it into a scene.  Our family now owns the building part of the movie was filmed in.  

5.     I love diamonds.  

6.     I hardly ever tan even when I try.  I can’t stand lying in the sun and am really scared of tanning beds (even though my brother owns a tanning salon).  

7.     I am left-handed.  The only things I can do right-handed are iron and knit.  

8.     The first fish I ever caught was a baby shark.  My grandma promised me that someday that pole would be mine and this year I got it.   

9.     The year the Portland TrailBlazers won the world championship, hubby and I went to the airport after he got off work at 2am and waited until 6 am for them to arrive home from Philadelphia .  We happened to be in the right place and shook hands with all of them.  I loved Maurice Lucas and actually stood in line at Lloyd Center for hours to get his autograph.  

10. I blush easily because I embarrass easily.  

11. I’m a people watcher and I love to figure out what their lives are like.  

12. I wonder how many times I am right.  

13.  I get an earache almost every time I go to the beach. Love the beach but like to sit in the car to avoid said earache….even happens on a warm day if it’s windy.  

14.  My favorite flowers are Sweet Peas and Hydrangea.  

15. I love Cheetos  

16. I love Diet Pepsi but am trying to limit myself to very little.  (doin’ pretty good so far!)  

17. I could cry at a stranger’s wedding or watching a cruise ship leave even if I didn’t know anyone on it.  (I did that once)  

18. I love to play games…mostly spades or word games.  

19. I do not like pastel pink and blue together…for other people they are fine but I do not like it.  

20. I am the oldest of 4 siblings.
