50 things about me, from 2008

Today is a call day for me. Meaning that from 7am-7pm I am "on call" and if work needs me to come in, I have 30 minutes to get there. I hate being on call because it never fails if you make plans, you get called in. If you stay at home and are ready to go in, they don't call you. But it forces me to stay home and get stuff done. Like cleaning, laundry, etc. or be lazy. :)
and it also gives me time to piddle. today I was going through old emails from Philip and I found an email in October of 2008. I made of list of '50 random things about me' and then he did the same in return. I wont share his because he might not appreciate it, but I am going to share mine. because i like reading back on things I said about myself. and what things are still true and what have changed. and I love random things about people that some people don't know. so feel free to share your randomness with me:)
