25 Random Things about Mrs. Soirées & Shenanigans

This was done on Facebook a while back, so I thought I would share it here for my "It's Finally Friday" post.

1.I married a YANKEE! Ok, so he is from Ohio. As my Dad told him, “You got to watch those Yankees. They come down South to steal our women and reap their fortunes.”


2.I would like to be a professor one day (without a PhD...no more school...please).

3.I lettered in high school track, but I didn’t run. I did shot put and discs (I think they lettered me because they felt bad)

4.I started running August 2005 and ran my first marathon in April 2006

5.I LOVE Craigslist! I rented my house within two hours after posting it the first time. I’ve been hooked ever since!

6.Graham, our dog, is the king of the house. He even has his own chair in the den (the biggest chair).

7.My favorite quote is “what we permit, we promote.”

8.I’m “5 foot 2, eyes of blue”….just like the song!

9.I’m not much of a traveler. It would suit me better to have a new outfit, new pair of sevens or shoes than to take an expensive trip.

10.I'm cheap when it comes to the gas and electric bill! We keep our house on 62 degrees in the winter and 80 degrees in the summer.

11.I was diagnosed with Wolfe Parkinson White Syndrome (heart condition) and had an ablation in college to “disconnect” the extra electrical pathway in my heart that cause it in excess of 250 beat per minute at times.

12.I personally get an extra kick out of those “go back to Ohio” stickers. I make a point to point them out! In fact, the first time The Mr.’s Mom visited, she happened to see one. She, a buckeye herself, didn’t get it at the time, but if you're from the South, you know what they mean!!

13.I live near the home of Akim Anastopoulo’s filming studio. Charleston lawyer turned on-air personality has converting an old Piggly Wiggly (a local supermarket chain) into the largest television and film studio in the state. This hot attraction is about 3 miles from our house.

14.I purchased my husband a really nice wedding band, but a month after we married he thought he lost it. From that moment forward, he sports a cheap K-Mart band. His original band stays in the jewelry box…here’s a hint, K-Mart jewelry is always 60-75% off.

15.I have lived in Charleston for 11 years. So far, I have moved 6 times. I think this last move was for good…at least for a little while.

16.I played the Bass for 8 year…occasionally got first chair too believe it or not!

17.I’m an April Fool’s Baby! Lucky me; all the jokes are old!!!

18.I’d like a blackberry, but The Mr. says that is grounds for divorce.

19.I passed the Board of Governor’s exam in November 2008. Officially, I am a certified healthcare executive. In May, I will advance to Fellow status (Mrs. Soirées & Shenanigans, FACHE, MHA).  In healthcare, everyone is so big about the stuff that comes after their names.  I teach a few classes at work, and when people sign up, the always sign their name with RNIII, MS...blah blah blah).  Dude, I am just asking you to sign in, not for your resume!

20.I’ve been a preceptor for 7 MHA students over the past 4 year. I enjoy mentoring and teaching.

21.I’m a consignment shop junky. Love to shop and find a good deal. It is pretty bad when they know you by name. Chances are if you ask me where I got my outfit, it probably is consignment or at least part of it.

22.I only know the first names of my neighbors on one side of us, and have never spoken to the one behind us, across the street or on the other side of us. At the risk of sounding stuck up, I just don't care to know them. Obviously they feel the same way; they didn't come over with cookies or anything when we moved in.

23.I have turned from a dog hater, to a dog liker, to now a GRAHAM lover. It is kind-of sick what Graham has done to me.

24.I love to read blogs. I currently “lurk” at over 30 blogs a day. Let me know if you have one, I’d love to lurk. I rarely comment, but getting better now that I have my own.  I'm beginning to feel that lurkers stink!  I feel like I am writing a diary instead of a blog sometimes.

25.Before buying anything on the internet, I always google for a coupon code.
