Meme: 5 Things You Probably Don't Know About Me

As I was reading my dear friends blog the Bratt Family about the 5 things I probably didn't know about them, I noticed right at the end of their post was a tag for Me "OLGA" to do the same thing. So here I go.

5 Things You Probably Don't Know About Me

1) My secret obssesion is watching Americans Funniest Home Videos. I giggle and giggle. My kids think something is wrong with me everytime I watch that show. I never get tired of watching people fall or watching babies nearly face plant into some food group while trying to stay awake. It actually helps me relieve stress since you can count on me having a stress laugh over something so silly. Who invited this kid?

2) Some of you might know this but...I HATE SPIT!! I hate the spit that is left on the top of a coke can...someone that thinks its so important to leave his "loogy" on the side walk just makes me want to barf. I hate spit...enough said.

3) I started ballet at the age of 3. I was on toe at the age of 12 yet finished my career at 15 when I became to big for my tights and too busty for my leotard. Yes, I was ballariena. I always thought I would be thin and graceful and be touring with the Nutcracker. Yet as I grew older I got bigger. And so, I can only dream sugar plum fairies dancing in my head, I will never be one of them. Dance, baby Dance! Hence, I remain "Olga the swedish sumo wrestler"

4)AAAALLLLLLOOOOOOHHHHHAAAAA! When I was young, my family traveled many times to Hawaii because of my dads business. We were so lucky to have the oppertunity to do so. As a small child, I always thought I would grow up and be Hawaiian. I would have the dark skin, Long dark hair, dance the hula and work at the PCCthe rest of my life...as you can see, I am and will always be a very white Howlee. The only thing I would ever do at the PCC is probably pick up trash. But, I still love to dance the hula..Mahalo!

5) My first real job outside of working for my dad was Jiggs. A family owned burger joint. I was the shake girl. And I tell you, I made the best dang shakes the 2 months I was employed there. Yes, I was fired after two months. (I didn't show up for a company meeting..I was out of town with my family...probably doing the hula somewhere.) Jiggs is where I learned to make the best fry sauce in town. The secret is in the sauce.

Now that I have given my things I would like to tag someone and have them blog their 5 things. I would love to tag Ken & Beth Bratt(maybe he would update his blog) and Sue (apple)

Fun stuff! And you do make some good fry sauce. Good luck getting my parents to post. My dad keeps talking about needing to update the blog, but I'm not holding my breath for too long!

Hey you could still do ballet!! You could be in the big boned version of the nutcracker, better known as the Stagecracker!! Yes that was a weight thing. But don't worry, you and I could dance side by side!! :)
