Things I've Never Done

Melanie over at This Ain't New York has quite an interesting list going on over at her place. Everyone always brags about what they've done and where they've been. She put a new twist on it. What have you never done? Some things I thought about I am chomping at the bit to get to do and other things on the list I have no plans to do. But it is an interesting list none the less.

1. I've never been in a car accident (yes, I know I just jinxed myself!). I was once put on a jury because of that fact. It was a car accident trial and the lawyer thought it was very interesting that I had never been in an accident.

2. I've never broken a "real" bone. What is a "real" bone you may ask. I've only had a broken elbow...how on earth do you break an elbow? Don't ask. It wasn't pretty. And it was when Youngest Child was about three months old and DH left at 5 to go to work and I had to get my dear, sweet neighbor to come over before 6:30 and get YC out of bed, change her, dress her, and put her in the car seat for me. Not fun.

3. I've never been on a cruise. Sometimes I want to cruise, sometimes I have no desire to. And since DH has absolutely no desire to cruise, this one will be totally my call. And since I have severe vertigo and can't fly without getting sick, I'm kinda leery about cruising. I love the idea but the thought of spending howeverlong on a ship throwing up doesn't appeal to me.

4. I've never stolen anything. Ever. From anyone. Not even a pack of gum.

5. I've never tried drugs. Ever. At all. This one will come in handy when YC and OC ask the question. Oh, wait...they read my blog. So now I guess they know. NO, YC and OC, I have never even attempted or experimented with drugs. My prayer is that you won't, either.

6. I've never ridden a snow mobile.

7. I've never owned a horse. Off the wall, I know. But I love horses.

8. I've never driven a convertible.

9. I've never cheated on my husband. Obvious, I know...just wanted to clarify.

10. I've never para sailed. Refer to #3 and the whole vertigo thing. Looks fun, but not worth the cost to me...I'd be sick for a week.

Now you know a little more about me. What about you...what have you never done?

Introductions

Welcome to my very first blog ever. I have been hooked on blogging since my friend over at And Babies Make Six introduced me to it. Since then, I've read, laughed, cried, and been entertained by many, many, many blogs. Seeing that I'm one of the busiest people I know, I had to put creating my own blog on the back burner. Alas, school was out for me yesterday, my blog is created less than 24 hours later. I invite you into my little corner of the world as I go about the business God has called me to do. I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend, teacher. I live in the southeast US (transplanted from WV for the past 18 years); I love Nascar, camping, vacations at the beach, reading and spending time with friends.
I have been married to Steve for the past 15 years; I can honestly say he is my best friend. Together, we have Kaiti who is 13 (and sure to be the topic of many future blogs) and Cassie who is 10. They are polar opposites and keep me on my toes constantly. When I married Steve, I inherited his son Michael, who is now 22 and just out of the Army. I had the privilege of staying home with the girls before they started school; I currently teach 4th grade in a public school and love it.
I decided to start a blog to share with my out-of-state family and friends what goes on on a somewhat daily basis in the life of fab the mayor. To understand the name, read my profile. My guess would be little did Beth know when she gave me that name long, long ago that it would not only stick, but become and "official" blog.
Sit back, relax, enjoy, share...I look forward to hearing from you soon.
