My First (2) Top Ten Tuesday(s)

I thought I'd give this a try...  I just couldn't decide on which to do so I thought I'd start with a bang and give you two top ten lists today!

Top 10 Random Facts About Me

1. When I was in school, I always got bad scores on the part of my report card for "Participates in class discussions." I never participated and was terrified if I was called on. I still don't talk much in groups. It takes me awhile to take everything in and process it.

2. I got a detention in 7th grade because my friend and I started laughing in study hall and couldn't stop. That's the only detention I ever received.

3. Despite my shyness in group settings, I'm a total extrovert. I hate being by myself and am energized by spending time with people.

4.  I love Jesus.  He saved me from my nasty self and loves and pursues me even though I'm so undeserving

5. I hate playing team sports. HATE them. Especially volleyball.

6. My best friend from high school went to another high school. One time I brought her to school with me for an entire day. We told all my teachers that she was my cousin and was visiting me.

7. I remember really weird things... like I remember who gave us what wedding gift (7 1/2 years later), random people's birthdays, phone numbers of friends from elementary school, etc..

8. One of the highlights of my day is getting the mail.

9. I really like filling out forms.

10. When I was in high school, my history class took a field trip to the Chicago Historical Society. I saw the bed Abraham Lincoln died on and started to cry. My teacher gave me extra credit for taking the field trip so seriously.
