1.  Are you related to anyone famous?
2.  Do you ride roller coasters?
3.  What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you?
4.  Interesting fact about you?


I'll start:

1.  I'm related to General William Tecumseh Sherman. 
2.  Not really.  I hate heights.  I'll ride dinky hill ones, but nothing super high and definitely nothing with loops.  One a side note, I love water slides, even if they're high.  I think my main reason for hating rollercoasters is the dip or drop feeling you get in your stomach.
3.  Years ago I found a sanddollar while about 10 yards in to the Ocean, I tried grabbing it with my toes and couldn't, so I bent down to get it and a wave came and hit me at the exact same time.  I didn't realize it knocked my itty bitty boob out.  (I was like an A cup back then).  So I proceeded to turn towards the beach and show all of my friends that I found a sand dollar.  Finally once the water calmed I heard my other friend who was in the ocean with me yelling from about 20 feet away, "PUT YOUR TIT BACK IN!!!"  I think if my boobs were larger at the time, I would have felt them bouncing around.  There was no bounce.  oh well.
4.  My great grandma co-wrote the song "I Wanna Be Around" that Tony Bennett sings.  Great story behind it.  She got half of the royalties when she was alive, and my mom and other living family members still get some money monthly.  Nothing major, but her name is on the records etc.  Sadie Vimmerstedt was her name.

1. Are you related to anyone famous? I don't think so?
2. Do you ride roller coasters? Heck no! I used to but now I am too scared
3. What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? When I was 15 my grandmother told the cute waiter I thought he was hot and wanted to have his babies. I ran to the bathroom and refused to come out until it was time to go.
4. Interesting fact about you? I can't think of any

1. Are you related to anyone famous? No, but my Dad was adopted so we say that Elvis was his brother LOL
2. Do you ride roller coasters? Yes!
3. What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? When I was a teenager I was at the DMV and I went to get something out of my purse and a bunch of tampons flew out everywhere. I wouldn't care now, but back then it was mortifying.
4. Interesting fact about you? I don't know. I'm not very interesting. Besides DH, I'm pretty much the only person under 40 years old that I know that doesn't text or have a data plan on their phone.

1. Are you related to anyone famous? Not that I know of

2. Do you ride roller coasters? Absolutely I love them.

3. What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? In high school I went to catholic school so we had to wear skirts and I took public transportation home. One day it was raining and I was walking to a seat toward the back of the very crowded bus when the bus driver took off. I fell flat on my ass and my skirt flipped up so everyone on the bus got a lovely view of my underwear.


4. Interesting fact about you? I was in my friends movie for one of his college film classes. It got picked for some local cinematography festival thing and aired on public access television.

1. Are you related to anyone famous? Not that I know of, but Pat Benatar and the father from Wonder Years went to my high school. She never came back, but he was always at our high school giving talks and helping out with the theater classes. He is the nicest guy!
2. Do you ride roller coasters? LOVE them! There are times I have gone to amusement parks with the sole mission of only riding all the roller coasters all day.
3. What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? The first time I went ice skating was in college. I fell with my foot under me and the blade impaled my ass cheek.
4. Interesting fact about you? I use my feet for a lot of things because my Dad had a bad back due to a car accident and he used his feet for everything and I just picked it up. DH also uses his feet for a lot of things too. Weird connection

2. Do you ride roller coasters.? I use to love them. But now they are so jerky it hurts lol.

3. What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? When I was in 5th grade we still took names if someone talked when the teacher left the room. Well I was the name take and a boy I liked at the time was taking so I wrote his name down and he came up and erased it. This happened over and over and it made me laugh. Well I laughed so hard I started passing gas non stop about ten times and the whole class laughed and laughed. I was scared for life lol.

4. Interesting fact about you? Hmmm not too interesting but when I was younger I loved to water ski and was pretty good. I miss it and if I had a boat I would pick it back up.

1. Are you related to anyone famous? Nope, but my fathers grandpa was asked to do artwork for Walt Disney. I don't think he ever did though.

2.  Do you ride roller coasters? Yes, but not the ones that spin in circles constantly or carnival type ones.

3.  What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? Probably when I was in middle school. It was a class field trip day to PIB and it was awesome because I got to hangout with my boyfriend all day. Well apparently I started my period for the first time that day and no one told me until I got back to the school. It was through my pants and all. I had to walk around the remainder of the day with a sweatshirt tied around my waste. Who knows how long I had been walking around like that, or how I hadn't noticed is beyond me.

4.  Interesting fact about you? Nothing too interesting about me. Maybe that I met my H on MySpace. I am pretty good at drawing. Ummm..yea I have nothing.

Oh, this reminds me that I was on HGTV about 10 years ago for a show called "What's With That House".  I was walking my dog and a film crew came and asked me if I knew anything about the house across from me and interviewed me about it.  I've only seen a bit of the episode once LOL

1. Are you related to anyone famous?
i'm related to matt damon through marriage (and not very many degrees of separation, either). otherwise, minor politicians.

2. Do you ride roller coasters?
i used to, prior to kids. i went on one about a year ago, and the whole time i panicked about "what if i die"...it wasn't fun.

3. What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you?
in recent history, i can only think of something i shared on TB a while ago..i ran into my exbf at work..and i was caught off gaurd...i did a double take spin move and ran into a wall when i was checking to see if it was him..he saw me..we said hello, and i turned back around to go on my way and ran into the same wall.

4. Interesting fact about you?
my dad has long lost brothers and sisters (we're not sure on how many) that he has never met, and he has no desire to meet. he did not learn about them until he was about 40, and his mother was dying and confessed it to my mother. my grandpa was in the military and left china suddenly, thinking he was going to be gone for only a few months max...they left the kids with my grandmothers mother, but they were never able go back for political reasons. my dad was their "replacement baby" when they realized they were never going back.
