Six unknowns about Mandie
1. I have a freakishly heightened sense of smell. I can smell anything a mile a way, which has its benefits, but it's not always a good thing because I get headaches really easily from smells. Oh, and I can also "turn off" my nose and only breathe through my mouth when I'm in a smelly situation. Works really well for diaper changes.
2. I love singing really badly on purpose. There's nothing more liberating than singing loud and off key at the top of your lungs to the radio.
3. I am afraid of wasps. When I was a kid, wasps would somehow get into my room constantly and we never figured out where they were coming from. It scared me to death and I still have a hard time keeping my composure when a wasp is around.
4. I've always had a dream of singing show tunes and standards with a live big band behind me, like Ella Fitzgerald or Frank Sinatra. Those are two of my all-time favorite artists, by the way. Or even singing in a moody night club with a pianist and bass accompaning me.
5. I LOVE wrapping presents. I care more about the wrapping than what's inside, and I think everyone deserves a well wrapped gift. Every year I have a different theme and this year I'm doing red candy stripes. I even volunteer to wrap other peoples presents I love it so much.
6. So here's a story not many people know. When I was in high school I went to a "friend's" house who then suggested that we go for a ride. So we went driving and she picked up two of her friends that I didn't know. Well, these guys wanted to stop off at a house and so we let them out of the car and they proceeded to buy some weed from a 12 year old boy and they got back in the car! So I'm freaking out and ready to bail but I can't and so my friend kept driving and then a COP stops us! The cop shines the light in our windows and asks for my friends drivers license, which she doesn't have, and so then I'm thinking I'm so dead and going to jail for being with these people. So the cop just says, well you've got a busted tail light and you need to get that fixed, and you really need to keep your drivers license with you. No ticket, nothing. I was scared out my my mind. Needless to say I never hung out with her again.

Who was the "friend"?
Wow, TMI!
The last one got a snort of laughter out of me!
I am so like you with the smells even when I am not preggo.....I can't wear ANY perfumes or scented lotions. And I have had to switch seats in church before if someone with a lot of perfume sits near us...or I will get a super headache that lasts all day!
Yeah, you really have to tell me and Melinda who that friend was! I have my guesses!
Oh! And I found out today that the PR director I'm working with here at Burleson sings in a choir every Tuesday with Mr. Huff! Isn't that funny?
It was Mikael Smutz. I thought I told you guys that story already!
I can’t believe your tree/presents/whatever are candy cane when that is what mine are! Is that genetic? I never did red/white stripes before. I love wrapping presents, too. I hope it snows and I will stay at home and wrap up everything. If I run out of stuff, I will start on Action Group. That would certainly last me until the thaw!
Wow! That's quite the story. I have kind of a similar one except I was in Argentina on a bus with a busload of people smuggling weed that ran through a checkpoint. Anyway, you're a fun person!
