5 Random Things

Jessie tagged me last week for the 5 Random Things meme and although I'm pretty damn sure that there aren't 5 more things  about me that you don't already know, I'm going to give it a go anyway.

1. My mom and dad once appeared in an episode of The Love Boat.

2. I had a female dog called Harrison Ford when I was a teenager and a plant called Mel Gibson.

3.  I've appeared in a newspaper in just a bikini.

4. I hate being the last one in the house to go to bed, it makes me feel lonely so I end up guilting Jim in to staying up with me.

5. I still haven't fully come to terms with the fact that I'm going to have another baby, despite the fact that my bump is enormous and I can feel her moving 24 hours a day - to such an extent that when I was at the hospital the other week and they tested my urine, for a minute I thought they were going to do a pregnancy test to check whether I really was pregnant!

Well, those are five things that I didn't know about you.
I also hate to be the last to bed:)
Love the blue trim with the red flowers.
Best wishes

That last one really made me laugh out loud. I really need too. I love the fabric and trims that you posted.

[blair]

I love that you named your plants...that one must have been really hot in it hey day ; )

[Joan Gibb]

Well, do you still have the newspaper photo?
Jim, maybe you could post it when Manda's not looking.

I do the same thing too with number 4. I always make my husband wait until I fall asleep before he does. LOL

The quilt is beautiful. I'm the exact opposite on the going to bed thing--I love going to bed last and ending the day with some quiet time for me (or blogging time this evening)

The Love Boat?!! I knew there was a reason I liked you!!

[Suzie Sews]

Oh...trip down Memory Lane...THE LOVE BOAT...I was brought up with this and believed that this was what life was going to be like when I grew up...Sad yer...but kind of nice too!!!

[lucykatecrafts]

i loved the love boat!!, that is fantastic!

i think i was in denial the whole time i was pregnant with my son, it was only when he popped out (and he did quite literally pop!) did i say 'oh look, a baby, i thought it was wind!'

[Pam]

Those are 5 cool facts!

I cried when I saw two of everything in the delivery room when having twins. It was like at that moment in time, it hit me that I was having two more children.

What fun facts. I never do these meme's because I don't think I have any facts. :-)
I love your photos.

[Ravenhill]

Tantalizing photos and fun facts! Each one brought a smile to my face, but especially to remember the Love Boat. I used to love that show! And funny to imagine you not believing you are pregnant when I have seen the recent pics of you!

[Jane Weston]

Wow the Love Boat...now there's a show I haven't thought of for awhile!. Your newspaper picture beats mine...I made front page once, on my birthday in a medieval wench's outfit...with a low cut top to boot!

[Jade]

I once ended up on the news in my bikini. They were doing a report about the crowds on a holiday weekend at a popular water tubing location. When I went to watch the evening news what did I see? My big butt. Nice.

Glad to have found your blog. Lovely handmade goodies!

hilarous... thanx for sharing

I get lonely if my husband has fallen asleep before me, too! Even if we're not talking, or not doing something together, I just need him to be there with me.

I loved the love boat. I look back now and can't believe that my parents let me watch that show. I would never let my kids watch it ;o)
