My Tag, you're it must have gotten lost in the mail...lol

Hi guys. I see everyone's playing the tag game and I thought I'd play too. :P

Let's see....let me things of five interesting facts about myself....:roll:

1. I had a terrible phobia of stinging insects growing up. I'm still a little scared of them but not as much.

2. I am left-handed. Any lefties here?

3. I played in the percussion section when I was in school band for 7 1/2 years. I played a lot of the auxillary instruments. My last couple of years, I played the xylophone. Had to march with that big heavy instrument strapped to me and it weighed like 28 lbs.

4. Some of my favorite hobbies are gardening, watching a good movie and spending time with family.

5. My favorite colors are red and purple.

Well, those are a few cookiefoot facts.

Guess you guys heard about Dirk's night at the dance. I think he's still got his head in the clouds, ha,ha. I'm sitting here at my laptop in the dining room and he's over there playing Sim City 4. And again, just to clarify, his Dad and I did not hang out at the dance all night. The dance was from 6 pm to 9 pm so we dropped him off a little after 6 pm and we went and ate at the little restaurant there in town. After that, it was about 7:30. We debated about going home but since his school is a 20 minute drive from our town, we thought it'd be a waste of time so we took Dirk's little sister to their school playground. It was lit up so she was able to see. It was funny. We were sitting there in our van, and all of a sudden, I saw this figure in my rearview mirror running toward us. It scared me but it turned out to be Dirk's Athletic coach. He was playing with his little son. I don't think he expected anybody to be in the van because we were just parked there. He seemed a little flustered but he was in a good mood. He is usually more prim and proper. Anyway, he said we ought to go over to the dance - that the kids were having a blast and that more parents were there. This was about 8:20. Well, I didn't feel right about going in and imposing, so we just hung out in the parking lot until 8:45. And that's when we made our appearance. We even tried to be inconspicuous, but wouldn't you know it, Dirk's principal pointed us out to Dirk!! Anyway, I think Dirk had a really good time. It's funny because all the kids were saying that they weren't going to go because of girls breaking up with them. However, most everybody was there and everybody was dancing. It was a really good turnout and I think the teachers were glad that the kids really had a good time.

Well, since basketball season is over with, we'll have more time at home, unless I can talk Dirk into playing baseball, but I doubt it, so I'm not going to press him. His sister may play though.

Guess that's it for now. Later folks!!.
