The Letter Game

If you want to play, leave a comment on this post letting me know, and I'll assign you a letter. You post ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on. I got the letter R from my friend Kristi...thanks Kristi!!

(1).
ockdale High School.....where I graduated from....back in ye old 1987...actually I had some of the best times of my life there, if you can believe that.



(2).
adio. I do not know what I'd do without the trusty Radio blasting away on my looong drives to and from work every day. I think it helps keep me sane...


(3).
ag Doll....I love rag dolls. My Nannie and My Aunt Grace used to make them and I had a whole slew of them, but I'm not sure where they all ended up at. But I have fond memories of one in particular that my Aunt Grace made me.


(4).
ain. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the rain...especially when I can cuddle on the couch at home...there's just something very soothing, calm and serene about it..


(5).
ainbows. Then after the rain comes the rainbow...not only are they beautiful to look at, but when I was little I used to dream about finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and of course, the Leprechaun...LOL.


(6).
aisin Nut Cookies~~But who am I kidding? I love ALL cookies!!!! Yum, yum, yum


(7).
eading...I love to read! Especially anything by Dean Koontz, Lisa Jackson, Anne Rice and some stuff from Stephen King...I like the supernatural and thrillers! And the best time to relax? On the toilet, fo sure!


(8).
ebel. Yes, like most, I always FALL for the rebel! You all know the one I'm talking about...the one who will test every boundary you set...When will I learn?


(9).
ecord Player..yes, I am from the Stone Ages..LOL...kids no days have NO idea what a record player is. I absolutely LOVED my record player when I was young. I would sit for hours and listen to my records, like Leif Garrett, Dolly Parton, The Statler Brothers, Captain & Tenille, Olivia Newton-John, Air Supply...okay, so maybe I was only 8 or 9, and maybe my parents picked them out, but I loved them.


And Last, but not least.....(*drum roll please**)
(10).
ednecks. Of course I love the Redneck....because most of my family consists of them!! Especially my East Texas kinfolk..LOL!

Help!

I can't figure out how to get that Pimp-My-Profile pic out of my heading!! It's not showing any code for it, so it should be gone, but it's not.

Any ideas....anyone?

I appreciate any help you can throw my way.

Thanks!

25 Random Things About Me...

I loved Kristie's so much, I thought I'd play along..


1. I was born in Taylor, Texas and am the oldest of three children. We are all three years apart....my brother and sister lovingly call me "The Boss."~~At least I like to believe it's "lovingly."

2. My Nannie and Paw-Paw practically raised me and used to own a Chicken/Egg Farm. I would sneak out to the Chicken House at night, when I was around 2, or 3, and get the egg fillers to chew on. Yes, I was a strange kid...

3. I am named after my Nannie's mom, and my Great-Grandmother, Rebecca Cummings. I hear she was a GREAT lady.

4. When I was about 3 I came up missing one day and my Nannie thought I had drowned in the tank, so she rallied up the small community of Davilla to come drag the tank for me and lo and behold, as they were driving up I came walking out of the pasture, crying. Apparently, I was walking across the pasture to my Aunt's house and got tired, layed down and took a nap in the pasture, and a bull woke me up sniffing of me and scared me. My Nannie loves telling that story...and I love her for it.

5. I graduated from Rockdale High School in 1987.....yes, I am OOOOLLLLDDD....

6. My "little" brother, who towers over me and is well over 6' tall, is my male hero. He is the best brother, husband, father and person I know.

7. When I was young I sucked my bottle until I was well over 5 years old. One day I was at home, funny that I remember this in such detail, and my Paw-Paw drove up in the front yard, with a horse trailer with a Shetland Pony in it. I ran out and asked him who it was for and he told me that it was for me, if I threw that stinking bottle away. I ran in the house as fast as I could, in my underwear mind you (yes, we were very country), and threw the bottle in the sink. Would only suck it at night after that, when I stole my brother's...tee hee....

8. I come from a huge family, on both my mom's and dad's side. My mom's side is from East Texas, and I have an Aunt Bea, Aunt Veenie, Uncle Buford, Aunt Merlene and a cousin named Goober...it's true....

9. I have been a Legal Assistant for almost 20 years now, and strictly Family Law for about 10 of those years.

10. I love my two kids more than anything in life and am so very proud of them. Even when they make mistakes.

11. I am also raising two wonderful girls, whom I love and cherish like my own.

12. I have a Pug named Brutus, who snores and likes to sleep on my head..or under the covers snuggled up to my legs....he's my 'wil baby.....

13. I learn something new everyday..sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but with everything learned comes wisdom, or so they say...

14. When I was 12 my mom bought me a Paint Gelding and I named him Bud. He was the best horse ever!!! I rode him everyday.

15. I went to Barbizon Modeling School, in Dallas/Ft. Worth, when I was in 8th Grade.

16. Brittany, my oldest, was due on October 11th and I went into labor with her that night and had her on October 12th at 6:13 a.m., she weighed 8 lbs. 10 ounces, and was born on her Dad's birthday. Two days later, on October 14th, my birthday, we were discharged from the hospital.

17. Jacob, my baby, was two weeks early and I went in on a Thursday night, with a UTI which threw me into early labor, and finally had him on Saturday morning, March 6th, at 9:46 a.m. He was my 9 lb. 3 ounce preemie! LOL...seriously, it was funny seeing him with all the "full-term" 6 lb babies...I called him my "baby monster." He is now over 6' tall.

18. I am in desperate need of a vacation, even if it's just to veg at home and do NOTHING!

19. I like to read...anything by Dean Koontz and Lisa Jackson. I also like Anne Rice alot.

20. My lawyer friends, and my kids, always want to know why I don't become a lawyer...sometimes I think maybe...then, I think....nahhh....

21. Like Kristie, sad movies ALWAYS make me cry, too, as do sad commercials, etc., and my son and Chris always make fun of me.

22. Sad movies also make my daughter cry...so we love to watch them together.

23. I broke my right index finger when I was a Freshman in high school, fighting with my baby brother at home one day when my mom was at work. The doctor didn't set it right and it grew back to where I cannot bend the end of my finger now.

24. On my very first day of fourth grade my mom shot herself in front of me....sad, but true. I became very devout to God, and would get myself up on Sundays and walk to church, while my parents slept, after that. Because of Him, and my wonderful grandparents, I am who I am today, which I think is a pretty amazing person, flaws and all.

and....

25. I can touch my nose with my tongue....LOL...
