[kelleigh1]

Okay, here goes

1. I dated Kenny Rogers (the baseball player) a couple of times when I was in college. He was a jerk then.

2. I could eat Mexican food every day.

3. My grandparents were Greek immigrants and had an arranged marriage.

4. My two girlfriends and I went to WDW before I got married and were chosen to be the "Von-zells" ( I think, or Ron-zells?) in a show at Disney MGM studios. We were recognized everywhere we went in the parks for days afterward. Sadly, we returned home and realized just how fleeting fame really is.

5. When I was a kid I loved to watch reruns of the show My Three Sons and now I have three sons.

1. I am dying to get a tattoo on my back (my kids would be shocked!). I have no clue WHAT to get a tattoo of that wont embarrass me when I am old and wrinkled though...

2. I have every episode of Full House on video - taped them when it ran on Prime Time as part of TGIF.

3. I always tell soldiers "thank you for serving" when I see them at the airport - and usually tear up when doing that.

4. I have crooked little fingers - so do my Dad, kids and nieces!

5. My 2 favorite singers in high school were Olivia Newton-John and Billy Idol.

Can we add to the list? PLEASE?! I just thought of another one...
I kissed Jerry O'Connell. (Stand By Me, Crossing Jordan) We used to be in a theater class together at a school called CDT (Childrens Dance Theater) and he and I had mutual crushes on each other. I remember going to his house and he and his brother Charlie started to fight and Jerry threw him down the spiral staircase!!! I'd like to think he would remember me but I doubt he would. I get a total kick out of seeing him on TV all the time.

1. I had a 12 page spread in a local paper when I got engaged. They were doing a special on brides to be.

3. I've modeled in some local department stores.

4. I crashed on my best friend's banana seat bike in second grade and got a concusion.

5. My best friend and I got almost got left behind at Kings Island. We were there on a band trip and were not watching the time. We were suppose to meet back at the busses at a certain time and we were over an hour late. They had sent out a search team out into the park to find us. All the busses had left except for one waiting for us.

This a cool thread! I'll try my best to sound fascinating:

1. I lived in Japan for six years as a kid and travelled all over the country on bike hikes and bullet train. Even climbed Mt. Fuji twice!

2. I'm a HUGE fan of horror novels and movies and have a great collection of slasher movies from the 70's, 80's and 90's. Yes, I've even gone so far as go to horror conventions.

3. I worked in the corporate world for 12 years and decided I hated the environment so I did some soul searching and now work in the non-profit field.

4. I was an extra in Bad News Bears Go To Japan and Stoker Ace.

5. I don't have a creative bone in my body. I can't paint, sew, draw or do anything else of the sort. Stepping into a crafts store makes me hyperventilate.

1. The women in my family all have some precognition. My mother knew the sex of each of her children before they were born, doesn't have any idea of how she knew, just knew. I only know when my grown children are going to call me.

2. I divorced a rich guy and married a poor one.

3. I have a love-hate relationship with procrastination.

4. I would sell at least part of my soul to never have to live through another cold winter.

5. I eat waaaaaaayyyy too much watermelon.

I knew my baby was a boy before he was born (no sonogram or amnio help back then). Never even picked out a girl's name. I knew there was no need to.

My grandmother had over 50 grandchildren before she died. She guessed the sex of each one correctly before they were born, except for one.

OK, here goes:

1. I take a while to "warm up" to new people. But once I do, I can't shut up.

2. I have 2 tattoos. The first I got when I was 21 (wish I hadn't). The second is 2 butterflies on my lower back, one pink and one blue (for DD & DD). I am soooo proud of that tattoo. Got it right after my 30th birthday.

3. DH and I were set up on a blind date. He called me and talked to me on the phone every night for 2 weeks straight before he asked me out. He said he wanted to make sure I was ok before he took me out in public!

4. I worry about my DD6 who alters her clothes so that her shoulders and stomach show.

5. I got a hearing aid at 31 years old. It was devestating.
