QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Please share with us five fun facts about yourself. 
How about some blasts from my past first …
1) For two summers when I was a teenager I was a candy striper…Wait! What?!? No…I didn’t say stripper…I said striper…Geez you guys…for those of you who don’t know what that is…here’s Wise Geek to explain it.
2) In college, another student and I started a business club on campus (this was before I switched my major to psychology). As part of a fundraiser for the club, we got a local band to come to the campus and play for free while we grilled and sold hot dogs and hamburgers. It was a huge success. The band then ended up hiring me as a personal assistant, and I also helped out with promotions. I did that for about a year and a half, and it was awesome…O…the stories I could tell you 
3) I worked at a small theme park once and had to dress up as an elf…that lasted about 3 months…worst job EVER!
4) I was a background extra in the movie The Fugitive with Harrison Ford. In the state of NC you don’t have to belong to SAG, or any other union, and it pays really nicely…plus you get a lot of yummy free food…it’s a double win
5) I won a pumpkin decorating contest and a gingerbread house contest. Both were part of fundraisers for The Children’s Miracle Network, so it was fun and giving at the same time.
Tell me 5 fun facts about YOU now…

I published (mimeographed)a weekly underground newspaper in high school. The on-going comic was ‘A day in the life of an Amoeba’. The hot topic of the day (1970) was ‘should girls be allowed to wear slacks to school’.
While several of us were drinking screwdrivers one night, we ran out of OJ. We mixed Tang straight into the vodka.
I met my future wife at a bachelor-et kegger. In a college town, no red-necks in sight.
My first job out of school was screwing windows. (Window assembly at a mobile home manufacturing plant).
My first kiss was with a girl 12 inches taller than me. (A hill was involved).
Screwing windows…LOL!
Bwaaaahahahahaha i probably lived in the of those mobile homes you window skrewed.
That’s SO awesome that you were an extra!
It was really fun…lasted about 2 weeks.
Something interesting…if you drive your car…you get paid more…if a stuntman drives it with you in it…you get paid even more…LOL!
I had both
Boy, I can’t think of anything.
I was a candy striper in a nursing home for a few weeks in 9th grade. I couldn’t stomach it so I didn’t last long.
I was co-editor of the literary magazine in college.
I love to scrapbook. It’s my #1 hobby, tied with reading, of course.
I LOVE Rob, oh wait, you might know that already, don’t you?! LOL!
I credit the Twilight Saga for my back-to-back reading frenzy because I haven’t stopped reading since I picked up those books on a whim last summer (yes, I’m a late bloomer).
High fives to a fellow candy striper!
I scrapbook too
1. I’m a Ceramic Engineer and worked on parts for the Space Shuttle.
2. I hated to read as a kid – you couldn’t pay me enough to read.
3. You will never see me w/o a book or my Kindle within reach.
4. I knit and crochet. People have asked my husband where he bought his sweaters when he is in Europe.
5. i’m into my 7th year as breast cancer survivor.
WoW! That’s so cool about the SS.
HUGS for sharing abt being a survivor
I love all of your fun facts!
I got to meet Harrison Ford while working at Disney, I am so in love with that man! I would have fainted dead away if I was an extra on his movie. lol
