I had been hoping that the wave would miss me, but Colette79 sent it my way, so here goes:
20 random facts about myself:
1. My back is sore right now, so I'm playing hooky from work this morning;
2. I received a B.A. from the University of Manitoba, History major, English minor before fate sent me in the direction of accounting;
3. I never shave my face on weekends;
4. None of my grandparents are still alive;
5. I used to see so many movies at the cinema that I had to keep a list of the films I'd seen, otherwise I'd forget. I saw 143 in 2002, but I didn't buy popcorn every time;
6. I got braces put on when I was 38 years old;
7. I would someday like to ride every rollercoaster in the world;
8. I've worked at the same place for 20 & 1/2 years now;
9. I've never been outside of Canada or the USA;
10. I didn't get glasses until Grade 11;
11. I've never been married;
12. I once worked as the Official Agent for a Progressive Conservative candidate in a federal election. We lost (but not by much);
13. I have chocolate milk for breakfast every day;
14. I plan to move to the east coast one day;
15. My favourite soft drink is Mr. Pibb, but it's not available in Canada;
16. I've been buying the same two sets of Lotto 6/49 numbers twice a week since 1987;
17. I've owned three cars in my life, all have been Honda ccords;
18. I once went a whole winter without wearing a parka to make a point (I wore a fall jacket). I no longer remember what that point was, but I remember being friggin' cold all the time;
19. The first concert I ever saw was The Eagles with The Steve Miller Band opening for them, back in the 70s;
20. I once owned a race horse that I bought as a yearling who was so neurotic when she went out to the track as a three year old they had to give her valium. When I'd go visit her, she'd be flaked out on her side, totally out of it. She never ended up racing.

awww, horsey. you owned a race horse? that's cool. i had a horse, well many actually, but mine was named Babe, she was a Morgan with palamino colouring. Babe was a barrel racer, and she had a bad attitude!
Babe is the one on the right.
