Well, I guess it's my turn. Here are 2-7 things that you may not know about me...


1) I have a crazy talent with learning songs, and really sometimes I even scare myself. Ran and I were getting ready for bed the other night after watching some clip of behind the scenes in the show HEROES (P.S. we love HEROES) and in this clip they said it was the same filming spot for Gilligan's Island. Maybe 10 minutes had past and I started singing the theme song for Gilligan's Island without even realizing. Now I was not just singing the end where it lists the characters(everyone knows that) but rather the ENTIRE song I knew. I don't even know that I was alive when this show was running for real so don't ask me how I know- It's crazy and I don't even understand myself

2) I have always wanted to have TWINS!! I don't care if it is 2 girls or 2 boys or even one of each but I have always wanted a set of my own. Now I don't even have one kid yet so maybe I really don't have any idea what I am asking for but, every time it is even talked about I get a happy feeling and want to hear/learn more. I have recently started watching John and Kate+8 just because it gives me that happy feeling!

3) Speaking of John and Kate - I LOVE reality TV - call me crazy but I could watch all day long if Ran let me. Honestly it could be any one of those shows out there and I would sit perfectly content so long as it was on....pretty pathetic really (haha) P.S. Randy HATES reality shows!!! So I usually have to sneak around watching them.

4) My Puppies are my world. Luckily I am married so I don't ever have to be worried about becoming one of those old maids with cats (dogs in this case) but I really do treat them like my babies right now. They dressed up for Halloween and they have all their own toys and clothes. Tara and Bev might remember this - We were at Rans moms house for Sunday dinner a while back and we brought the girls with us. His little bro Stetson wanted to play with Sadie and Sophie outside so there they went - not ten minutes goes by and I happen to look outside - little Soph was out sinking in the pool! Faster than you would even believe I was outside and had swooped her up out of the water. It sounds funny now but my heart was racing, and I thought for a second I might even cry! Those little dogs really do mean the world to me and I would seriously be in shambles if anything was to happen to them!

OK so now I tag.....Bre, Bev, and Sash (I know Tara already tagged you but, you never wrote anything so here is a second chance)

IM DONE!!!!

In case you haven't already hear.....drum roll please..... I'M LEAVING UOP!!! It has been a long time coming and really I don't know how I lasted this long. You really have to be a "special" kind of person to work for UOP and enjoy it. When I say "special" I refer to all of those who will do anything to get ahead.
I was a finance counselor and my job was to help students with their financial aid. What they didn't tell me was that I would also be an "adult"sitter, a collections agent and that I would have to go back and double check everything that everyone else did to insure the student was not being LIED to before starting classed. In my opinion it is pretty sad that I would have to go over everything for LIES.
People would ask me for favors and if the answer was not what they were looking for...they would do it anyway because ultimately I would be the one to suffer- no skin off their noses. Now don't get me wrong - every job is going to have its difficult side, but when you are the one that everyone is going to with their questions and you are required to know or else you are deemed stupid AND you are getting paid the least, SOMETHING HAS GOT TO CHANGE!! P.S. The same person could ask me the same questions day-in and day-out without seeming "stupid" but as soon as a new questions came and I was not sure of the answer, well of course I was the dumb one! So... I'm done!
Randy is truly and amazing husband! He has given me all the support that I needed up til now and when he saw that it was just too much for me to handle anymore he told me to get out. We have taken into consideration that the economy really does suck right now and that I may have trouble finding a new job, but again he is amazing. We can do this together, and honestly we would rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable!
