And now for my response to being tagged

5 little known facts about me?
well...
~Ok so it might not be SO little known, but maybe little remembered - I wear hearing aids. Well to be percise, I wear one hearing aid these days, since one of them kinda kicked the bucket and I haven't had a chance to get it checked out yet...its kinda getting to the end of its expected life span, but I really hope it can be fixed, because I don't have 5 grand kicking around to replace the pair.

~I love to crochet, scrapbook and sew. Yeah, I love the outdoors and the rough and tough stuff, riding horses, mechanical things, hunting, etc. But I also love my girly side. I spend most of my evenings doing one of those three things.

~I am petrified of slimey or flying things in my house. Ok, so snakes, bats, frogs, geckos.....wild ones at least make me crazy when I find them in my house. A 1500 pound fat steer can come running and snorting within a foot of me before I climb the fence, but I won't get withing 6 feet of a live flying object or slimey creature in my house.

~I have been bit by almost every type of animal I've handled - except a horse, and not badly by a cow... but sheep(hey don't laugh, it put me on IV antibiotics for 8 days), pigs(the worst was a dead one), dogs, cats, goats, birds, mice, gerbils, ferrets.... Hmm...I'm really trying to come up with something more interesting, but its getting hard...

~I've been fighting with a powerful inferiority complex... I'm getting better though. I don't know if it was the product of being the 4th girl and 5 years younger then the next sister, or just a product of low self esteem, but I have a very hard time believing that anyone REALLY wants to have me around or get to know me or thinks I'm important. It makes it hard to make new friends because I always convince myself that they're just "being nice" or that they don't really mean the nice things they say. So I guess thats the vice that I need to work on.

I guess thats it for the day - I need to get to bed....the story of my life, eat, sleep, work....repeat...Oh dang, I forgot I have to be at work at 5:30 tomorrow too......powersleep, here I come!

Well good job! I haven't published mine yet, but it is all typed out and will most likely go on the blog Monday, as I don't usually post on weekends.

Re: your #5
I think it runs in the family. I always thought people liked having you around better than me. Maybe we're both wrong...
And please explain the dead pig story. I bet it's hilarious.
