This afternoon I was browsing yahoo and ran across an article I found interesting. "Oh My! 8 Fascinating Facts About MGM's classic TheWizard of Oz" Naturally, I had to read the article!
Then I got to thinking... why don't I share 8 Interesting Facts about myself? So here goes.
1. I have been a Girl Scout since I was six years old, or since 1986.
2. I earned my Gold Award in Girl Scouting in 1996, which is the equivalent of the Eagle Scout in Boy Scouting.
3. The first time I had something published in the news paper was in 1991. I continued to have things printed in the local paper, until I left for college in 1997.
4. In 1994 I won a Journalism Contest and went to Washington DC for two weeks to represent Tennessee in a Journalism Convention. Every other state representative was in college, I was a sophomore in high school.
5. I played a baritone sax in a jazz band. I also played it in the high school's concert and marching bands, but jazz was definitely my favorite. (Very few girls played them back then, and none marched with them!)
6. I have been to eight other (European) countries, nine if you count the Bahamas.
7. I have been caught in a hurricane... on a cruise ship.
8. I have recently gotten an insulin pump! I'm thrilled and really liking it. I haven't mentioned it until now because I didn't want to jinx anything. But yay me!
