Embarrassing things from my past? Why not?

Just Mom offered this up to anyone brave enough to do it. I’m not admitting I’m brave – just that I’m bored, wanted to give it a try, and nothing else I had made for a thought-provoking post! Here they are. Five things I'm embarrassed to admit, but will for the sake of humoring you! Enjoy!

1) Like Just Mom, I too ran away from home as a young child. I had a written letter on my bed for my parents to find upon my disappearance. Sadly, I couldn’t follow through with it, so I just hid under my bed waiting for someone to come looking for me and for their devastated reaction to my running away. I believe they could probably see me under the bed as they came up the stairway. If there would have been a closet in my room – I would have hid in there instead.

2) I loved David Hasselhoff and Knight Rider. But, I would get scared when the show began because I thought K.I.T.T. was going to come off the tv right at me. I usually jumped up on top of the couch. I believe I may have done this every episode!

3) I did something so awful as a child – it must of been the worst thing a child could have done – because my punishment was severe. Upon hearing of this ‘thing’ I did, my father said, "Go to your room and stay there…Forever!” Ahh yes, I must have been able to win them over with my sparkling blue eyes and dimples, because, as you can see, I am not still in that room. In fact, that is a good thing, because they just sold that house about 3 months ago!! The funny thing is neither my parents nor myself, can remember what awful thing I did!!

4) As kids, my siblings and I loved to give our dad a hard time. I remember when we got our first VCR. It didn’t have a remote control like we know remotes today. It had a cord that was connected to the vcr. As Dad would walk through the family room, we would have to usually say something like “Don’t trip over the cord!” Well, I was known to yell that even when the vcr remote was not stretched across the floor. He didn’t always appreciate that. Maybe that was why I was sent to my room forever. Or, because of this…

5) Mom had just gotten our dog some new dog treats at the store. For whatever reason, some dog food maker thought it would be funny to make a dog snack that looked liked the snack had already gone through the dog’s body – if you know what I mean. We liked to put these on the floor around the house and watch as Dad got angry at the dog! I think he may have even grabbed the dog and put his nose in it, saying “Look what you did.”

One more just for fun!
6) I have always been a lover of shoes, and in JH, my favorite shoes were a pair of clogs that my aunt had given to us! And, right now, I have on a pair of clogs!! My dansko clogs are the most comfortable shoes I own. Like 'em or not, I love 'em! In JH, my sister and I were only allowed to keep them on at home, we weren't able to wear them out of the house! *Note, my sister has a black pair!! She lives real close to a dankso outlet, too!! I remember the clogs in JH looked great with my jelly bracelet collection!

There you have it. Aren't you glad you stopped by to learn a little more about me today? Confession does a body, mind and soul good! Isn’t it good to be able to laugh at ourselves too?!?!
