I read this at Judy's blog CoffeeJitters and thought it would be fun to do.
1. Who was your FIRST prom date? It was none other than Handy Man. He didn't have a girlfriend and I didn't have a boyfriend. We figured since we were already friends and he would be going into the Navy after graduation it was smart for him not to get into a long term relationship. Famous. Last. Words.
2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love? No, and unfortunately he died a couple years ago. Can you believe I was 13 the first time I was convinced I was "in love"? DD is 14 and still hasn't had a boyfriend yet!
3. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink? Champagne at my parents 15 wedding anniversary... Yes I was very young.
4. What was your FIRST job? Does babysitting count?! My first official job where I got a paycheck was working as a counselor at a summer day camp. I'm pretty sure I was not 16 yet.
5. What was your FIRST car? A metallic brownish 1966 Dodge Dart. The Party Dart is what we called it.
6. Who was the FIRST person to text you today? Surprisingly I haven't received a text today.
7. Who is the FIRST person you thought of this morning? Is the cat a person?! Who can not think about her when she's yeowing about wanting food!
8. Who was your FIRST grade teacher? Mrs. Fulton and I LOVED her. Once a month she would take 2 star students to her house for an overnight. She lived on Lake Union in downtown Seattle. She had a huge cat and played Peter, Paul and Mary on the record player. To this day when I hear Leavin' On A Jet Plane I think of her.
9. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane? I went to San Diego to see Handy Man graduate from Navy boot camp. I was 18 and scared to death!
10. Who was your FIRST best friend and do you still talk? Oh my... I would say Kristen. She was my best friend from kindergarten until 6th grade. After that we went to different schools. No I do not talk to her these days.
11. Where was your FIRST sleep over? At Tracy Phelps house and one of those floor to ceiling lamps fell on my head. I ended up going home around 1:00 am. So I guess technically it wasn't a sleep over.
12. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today? My son... I have to wake him up.
13. Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time? I've only been in one wedding and I was 12. It was my Uncle Bob's wedding.
14. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning? I wondered what day it was then I turned on the bedside lamp.
15. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to? David Cassidy!!! Hubba-hubba!
16. FIRST tattoo? None. I'm still trying to decide on a design...
17. FIRST piercing? Ears, age 11.
18. FIRST foreign country you visited? The one and only foreign country I've ever visited is Canada.
19. FIRST movie you remember seeing? The first movie I remember seeing in the theater was The Sound of Music. I was very young. I don't remember much of the movie, but I do remember throwing up on the way home. This doesn't seem like such a big deal, except we were taking the bus home. And by we I mean my mom, my younger brother, the stroller and a big shopping bag full of stuff. It's in that big shopping bag that I threw up into. Good times!
20. When was your FIRST detention? I never technically got detention. But my best friend, Kristen, and I got caught playing out in the rain after the rainy day recess bell rang. We claimed we didn't hear the bell, but we knew damn well we should have gone in, especially when we noticed all the other kids were gone. We had to write 200 times "I will have enough brains to come in out of the rain." Once again, good times!
21. What was the FIRST state you lived in? Washington
22. Who was your FIRST roommate? Handy Man
23. If you had one wish what would it be? I want my kids to be happy, truly happy, down to their soul happy. I hope all their dreams come true.
24. What is something you would learn if you had the chance? I don't think this really counts, but I'd like to finish getting my degree. I guess the answer would be, I'd like to learn more than I know now.
25. Who do you think will be the next person to post this? I hope anyone who wants to do this meme will!!
Wow! I found out lots about you today. As for the meme, I really like it and will try it out this week.

Get your degree. As someone who will be 45 when I get mine in 2 months, I can unequivocally say that it is one of the best things I've done for myself (and it was definitely for me).
I married my prom date too.

What a great post. I like the name of your car, the Party Dart!

Great meme! It's also very different from most, so I enjoyed it. I've always thought about going back & finishing my degree, but thinking about it is as far as I've gotten...
I once had a friend who had a Dodge Dart, but we called it the Dodge Fart, lol.

Isn't it amazing how you always remember your teachers? I love that.
