More ephemera
41. I’m a college graduate but I’ve only had 2 graduations. (Went to a K-6 elementary school but left after 5th grade to attend a 6-8 junior high. Graduated high school 6 months early. January graduates didn’t get their own ceremony. Was already through a semester of college and in summer school at college at time of June graduation so I didn’t go.)
42. I’ve eaten fried alligator.
43. The CDs I have in current rotation at work are Earth Wind & Fire’s Greatest Hits, Best of New Order, Susheela Raman Love Trap, Jackie Brown soundtrack.
44. I’ve been living in the same apartment for almost 6 years.
45. My favorite smell is that fresh soapy just out of the shower smell.
47. I have several pairs of Mary Jane style shoes, mostly mules.
48. A man in the bazaar in Cairo offered to give my family 6 camels if I would marry him. Another man just offered to show me his big banana. I declined the offer noting that the banana didn’t look that impressive anyway.
49. I like to dance but embarrass myself when I do.
50. Same thing for singing.
51. I’m a Snoopy fanatic, less now than I used to be. I own a 4 foot tall Christmas Snoopy.
52. I’ve been scared of large dogs since my uncle’s dog scratched me on the face when I was 7.
53. The first music I bought was a 45 of Abba’s The Winner Takes it All.
54. I’ve visited 20 countries but only 22 U.S. states.
55. I usually drink between 60-100 oz of water each day.
56. I never shop online without a coupon code.
57. I prefer unsalted to salter butter.
58. I wear socks to bed all year round.
59. I’ve had four surgeries – 2 ulnar nerve transpositions, gall bladder removal, cyst removal.
60. I never remember to recharge my iPod.

Hmmm... I actually never had a graduation. I just kinda left high school (not dropped out, not really graduated, although I do have a diploma, I think) to go to college, which I finished (had my BA when I was 19) but never took the walk. I did, however, have a kindergarten "graduation" which is all the more amazing considering I never went to kindergarten.
I have been to two countries... uhh... if you count this one, and, um, the other one. I got stuck in the other one because I would not tell them my mother's name and they thought my dad was trying to kidnap me.
I also have had fried alligator. And I've got you beat on the surgeries.
Fun fun, keep the fact coming! Will there be a quiz?

Love all the fun facts and trivia. I'm a coffee hater too, although oddly enough I like the smell of coffee. My boys love Snoopy. Cedar Point's kiddy area is Snoopy theme and I think that got them interested, and we always have to watch the Peanuts specials for Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. ~ CarolynG
