“May” I Have More Random Facts, Please?

Ten more…line ’em up!

  1. I was quite possibly the worst baseball player ever as a little kid. After getting hit in the arm by a pitch or two, I decided I was afraid to swing in case I got hit again. So I went to the plate and either walked or struck out. I quit after that season.
  2. Speaking of baseball, I attended the final game at the old Arlington Stadium and the first game at the new Ballpark in Arlington.
  3. In a quiet setting, I can hear faint noises quite well. In a noisy situation, I often find it difficult to filter out the background noise so I can understand what people are saying.
  4. My musical tastes depend on the setting. In the car, I like rock and pop. If I’m studying or napping, I prefer classical or silence. If I’m relaxing at home alone or the only one awake, I like smooth jazz and new age.
  5. To save water and heating costs, I sometimes turn off the water while I soap up and turn it back on to rinse. Hey, it saves a few gallons! Supposedly Jennifer Aniston does the same thing.
  6. My first real job was taking care of kids at the City of Coppell Day Camp during the summer after my freshman year of college. I made 10 bucks an hour, not bad for a college summer job. I couldn’t stand my boss. I liked my coworkers and most of the kids. Most of them are probably in college right now. I feel old.
  7. When people ask how tall I am, and I tell them six feet, they are generally shocked that I’m not taller. I don’t understand why. Maybe it’s my boots with the two-inch heel?
  8. I admire people who tell me the truth straight-up instead of sugar-coating everything and hiding what they really feel. I like to know where I stand with you. However, I find it difficult to do myself, especially in-person.
  9. Cruises are my favorite form of vacation. We’re planning one to the Bahamas in October. I can hardly wait!!
  10. I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Sam Adams Winter Lager or Summer Ale or Corona with lime.
