25 random things you may or may not know about Renae..

Okay, Amber tagged me on this and because I feel such a strong need to be the "cool Aunt" I have decided to drum up some facts about me. Enjoy......... (or at least kill a little time!)

1. My favorite quote is by George Bernard Shaw and goes like this :

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

2. I have a birthmark by my knee that I have always thought looked like a lion doing the hula dance.

3. I have a big scar on the same knee that I got when I was 14. I went camping with my friend and we were running down a dirt road with her dog. I tripped over the dog leash and left my flesh behind on the road. Her parents drove me to the hospital in Rexburg but they couldn't sew it up, so I spent a couple of weeks picking rocks out of the hole it left behind. (The birthmark came out unscathed!)

4. My favorite view is in Island Park, looking over the valley, with Sawtelle framing one end and Two Top the other.

5. I cried almost every day when I started 1st grade until my teacher buddied me up with Monique George who took me under her wing and made me her friend.

6. I slept with a special blankie, it's name was Prince, until I was 16.  I still have it if you would like to share it's comfort.

7. I am blessed with great friends that love me even though I suck as a friend.

8. On the Myers-Briggs type indicator (personality test), I am an ENTJ.

9. On the color code (personality test), I am a yellow.

10. I like personality tests.

11. I love to sing, especially primary songs.

12. I am not a good singer.

13. I am currently enrolled in school and by August 31st I will have my Masters in nursing leadership.

14. After August I will be able to have more alphabet soup behind my name: MSN, NHA, BC-NE. (Or something like it)

15. I have the best job in the world, I am a nurse and I love it!

16. I was never formally accepted into the nursing program. It is only by divine intervention that I had the opportunity to be there.

17. The first car that I owned was a 1970 Camero. It had a V8 engine and was far too powerful for a 16 year old. Thanks mom!

18. My dad told me that I would turn into a boy when I turned 8. He tried to assist this metamorphosis by buying me footballs, train sets and race cars. I'm pretty sure it never happened.

19. My favorite show is Project Runway and I've been a fan since season 1!

20. I covet long hair and have had extensions 4 different times. I prefer curly so I can relive the glory days of the 80's.

21. When I was 5 I watched my Grandpa Fuddy kill a rattle snake with a shovel. I hate snakes.

22. When I was a Sr. in high school my Grandpa Fuddy died. I love the Plan of Salvation.

23. I have the best kids in the world and I love them dearly.

24. I believe that I have the hottest husband, especially when he is on his motorcycle---oh yeah.

25. I believe that Metallica is the best band that was ever formed. ( The Red Hot Chili Peppers are close behind, and yes, I have seen them both in concert!)

 

Alright, thanks for letting me share a bit of myself. I will not formally "tag" any of you, but please feel free to play. :)
