Yes - it's our 100th post! (OK, so we missed it by a few!)
So here, by Internet Decree is 100 things about us! (Plus a bonus!)
Angie's:
1. Drummer Addict. Found my Drummer so you can call me recovered Addict. Forever dealing with the dum, dah, dum, dum, DUM.
2. Coffee Addict. Black the first three cups, and the rest of the morning a shot of cream please. And make it a BIG shot.
3. Favorite Sub-Tuna Salad Sub covered w/Black Olives, Jalapenos, Banana Peppers, Lettuce, Tomato, and Dill sauce. Yum!
4. Worst Job EVER-Peeling Hard boiled eggs for 10 hours a day. The smell made me puke every morning. My hands were never out of cold water the whole time of standing at the table. AWFUL. Made me thankful and gave me incentive to continue my education and NEVER, EVER, have to work in an assembly line job again.
5. Chair Addict
6. Wrote my first play at age 8. My first stage production by 9. Editor and CEO of my first newspaper age 10.
7. My first TV job paid $4.50 an hour. Was able to live on my own, drive a new truck, and have a land-line phone. No cable. No bar-hopping. Great time!
8. Collected Caterpillars in a red vase as a kid. Brought them to my bedroom every night and they would disappear by morning. Found out several years ago, my sister HATES caterpillars because my missing "alive" collection!
9.Ran the mile on high school track team for four years. Beat a guy once!
10. Interviewed presidential candidate Ross Perot in a skirt and high heels.
11.Peruvian Shoe-Shiner at the Dulles Airport proposed marriage. I said NO but thanked him.
12.In a Made-for-TV movie starring Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Role: TV news photographer. I nailed it.
13. Professional Jam Maker.
14. Editor High School News Paper.
15. Staff Reporter Northern Iowan.
16. Interviewed two former first ladies, Lady Bird Johnson and Barbara Bush.
17. Interviewed Hal Holbrook in his hotel room. Just him and me. (Nothing happened except for a conversation about his play.)
18.Read every Nancy Drew book in the Fayette library.
19. Read every book written by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
20.Weekly visitor of the fire station at one point in my life.
21. Worst place I lived was a flea-bag trailer house, and I am not exaggerating. My sister and I lived with my boss while I worked at a hotel in Florida. We appreciated his hospitality, it was the most disgusting place ever. Bought huge shares in the RAID company.
22.Before having children, only knew how to cook tuna melt sandwiches.
23. Once shared a elevator ride with Leon Spinks. Funny story. After the ride was over, my friend Marlys yelled out, "We just rode down with Leon Spinks." We jumped up and down screaming. My other friend Teri stopped jumping and asked point-blank, "Who is Leon Spinks?" We all died laughing.
