25 Things Y’all Didn’t Know About Me
I was tagged by one of Dean Holland’s students to write 25 things about me and now I have to tag another 5 students after my post Well, it’s finally here!! 25 things y’all didn’t know about me!!
So how it works is that you write a blog post about 25 things about yourself. It’s pretty fun! Then you tag another 5 students after you’re finished!!
So Here we go!!!
-
I have 5 kids, really!And they are my life!! And the little guy makes 100% on those STAR tests they give at school!!
-
I really want to move back to the midwest.
-
My hubby is 8 years younger than me and he’s from Mexico.
-
I love to cook, not just anything, but good country food. Steak and potatoes! Mashed potatoes WITH gravy!! YUM!! How ’bout some greens??
-
I lived in Fairbanks Alaska for a while. My Ex hubby was in the Army up there. Really cold, but beautiful!!
-
I don’t drink alcohol because it makes me do things I wouldn’t normally do, hence the 5 kids (and ex hubby!!)!! Haven’t drank in years!
-
I am Christian and love Jesus with all I got!
-
I love the internet, talking to people, watching videos, all of it! Get in trouble sometimes with the fam because I am on it too long!! I think it’s really cool that I can talk to people around the world!!
-
My eyes really are grey. NO, they are not contacts. I have been asked quite a few times “Are those really your eyes?” (No, Dork I stole ‘em!!)
-
I went to online college for a year, got a 3.8 GPA, and a huge student loan, but no paper to prove it!!
-
I am from Kansas, but I was born in California and then went to Florida for a while. After that we moved to Dodge City Kansas! There’s no place like home!!
-
I saw The Spice Girls in concert!!
-
I love country music, from the old stuff like Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette to today’s stuff, Brad Paisley, Rodney Atkins, even a little Kid Rock!!
-
I think Sarah Palin ROCKS!! She’s a great gal! Might not be President material, but she is really an awesome person.
-
I have six tattoos!! One covers half my thigh!
-
My favorite show is CSI Miami. I Tivo it and watch reruns almost every night. Horatio ROCKS!
-
My favorite guy of all time is Bobby Flay. That red-headed chef is so CUTE!! Unfortunately I don’t like a lot of his shows. Only if he’s doing a throwdown!
-
I learned to drive when I was 14. I had a hand me down car. 1968 Pontiac Tempest that had so much horse power, I was terrified! After a few years, it finally fell apart and then daddy bought me a used Volvo, stick shift and gave me the keys and said….hope you get to work tomorrow. That’s how I learned to drive a stick. Daddy had to replace the clutch a few times!! Oh! he was a good ole boy!! (After that poor Volvo gave out, I drove a GREMLIN!!)<<< that is really not that funny!! Stop it! OK??
-
When I was a kid, we used to sleep outside at my grandma’s house because of the humidity (Holdenville, OK) and in the morning, the folks going to church right next door would be looking at us on the cots and hammocks in our jammies!! Did we care?? Not really, I mean it was in HOLDENVILLE OK!! Dang! We are some country folks!
-
My first dog’s name was Puppy. He was a cocker poodle and he was the best dog ever!! Now I have a little terrier poodle named Cocoa Puff and 2 cocker spaniels and they are just really cool dogs! Used to have a cat, cute little kitten, but unfortunately they grow up!!
-
I smoke cigarettes, not that I am proud of that, but I do!
-
I listen to Gospel music at work everyday and sometimes make the other folks in the office listen, too. They need a little Jesus in their life!!
-
I am fluent in Spanish. Learned it in the 8th grade and never forgot it. Hola! Como estan y’all?? (There is no word for y’all in Spanish, you can say ‘ustedes’, but the feeling is not the same)
-
My favorite food is Mexican food and I can make a burrito out of ANYTHING!!!
-
My cell phone is about 3 years old and I am scared to get a new one, because I haven’t even figured out the one I have yet!!! And the good things about the phone is……I can TWEET!!
So now I have to tag 5 people from our Starting With Marketing group. HMMMM…..who will that be???
So let’s do it!! Y’all need to write a blog post about 25 things that we DON’T know about you!! If y’all have already been tagged, let me know!!
Have fun!!!

You crack me up Lisa. I’m still laughing about the Gremlin.
I love Alaska. My wife and I went on a cruise and loved it. I want to move there but my wife doesn’t.
In regard to your eyes; you need to give those back to whomever you stole them from. That’s what Jesus would do for sure.
Again, your blog looks great and you always have great posts. Keep it up!
All the best,
Ed
HEY!! Leave the Gremlin alone!! And Jesus GAVE me these eyes!! I loved Alaska! Too bad things didn’t work out
I want to go back to Kansas…..got any Rubi slippers?? hahaha Rubi! Get it?? Rubi? I crack me up sometimes!!

Lisa,
Its great to learn all this stuff about my fellow SWM students. I was also tagged by Mike and I plan to get my list up this weekend. Be sure to check it out.
Teddy
Hi Teddy,
Can’t wait to see your 25!! This has been pretty fun!!
Thanks for checking it out!
Lisa~
Lisa,
You FUNNY, Girl! I got some great laughs out of your 25 things!!
So, Let me get this straight: You’re a grey-eyed, tattooed, ex-Gremlin drivin’, smokin’, Christian with 5 kids who would rather live in Kansas than Corona, CA. (I’ve been to Corona and I don’t blame you for wanting to get out of that busy smog-infested place). Out here by the coast is a whole lot better!
As for Sarah Palin! Sorry, she’s a DORK! Her son has more brains! Thank God she didn’t get into the White House!
C’mon, you’re a blogger, stop being so technophobic and get a new phone! You’re kids can help you figure it out!
Mike
GREMLIN! GREMLIN! GREMLIN! GREMLIN!(just kidding, I’m laughing with you, not at you!! Great Post, Lisa!!
Hey now!! Corona is not as smog infested as you think!! and don’t be dissin the kids!! Sarah is a good mommy!!
Now about that phone…do I get a smart phone or will it be smarter than me?? Can’t be havin that!!
Be good and take care, Mike!! Did you hear that BE GOOD!!
Lisa~
P.S. The Gremlin ROCKED!!
Hola Lisa,
I like #6 the best…..alcohol does make you do things….particularly stupid things!!
That was very young at 14 to learn how to drive lo….the legal limit here is 16 if I’m not mistaken.
My favourite Mexican food is taco although burrito comes a close second but I just like the crispy taco shell and the mess you’ll make when the shell breaks and the sauce spills everywhere…
Well done Lisa!! I’ve picked the right victim to do this 25things with
ten cuidado, Huddson
Hola!!
Gracias por todos tus comentos!! How are ya Huddson?? Thank for the victimization!! felt like a DORK!! But I did it and I am sure y’all have done stupider things than what y’all will admit to!
Take care!
Lisa~
Hi Lisa,
Dissin’ the kids? I was suggesting that they help you with the new phone. Kids, these days, intuitively seem better equipped to figure out technology than we older folks, don’t you think? And besides, you really are smarter than you give yourself credit for! Hell, just look at your beautiful blog!
Mike
So I am gonna get me a PALM PRE!! Woo-Hoo!!
Hi Roonie
Roonie you put us all to shame,well me anyway.
I don’t get it,you have five kids and a full time job and yet you are able to keep your blog up to date with good info.And i have no idea what a buritto is.I can almost sense the look of horror on your face.
Oh and to answer mike about Sarah Palin,i thought he was a bit harsh calling her a dork.Initially she came across as an intelligent communicator,but then of course the republican machine got it’s mitts into her.But i think she will make a come back.
Tom
Hello Tom!!
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! Can you believe I did it all while making Loaded Baked Potato Soup?? Sarah has NOTHIN on me!! Honestly, I love my life and this girl has some really BIG DREAMS!!
Take care!!

Hey Lisa,

I am not sure there are 25 things to say but I will try. Hope you are well must get back into the student forums.

Karn
Karn, Karn…….Karn…..
Just think about the stupidest thing you have ever done in your life and SPILL IT!! Did you see Passey’s list?? There ya go! Beat that!
See you soon, don’t forget about us at the forum!!
Lisa~
Truly cool to see this girl… I woulda tagged ya but seen ya were tagged before.
You don’t want to move back to the midwest, it’s about winter time. I’m form IL & know people from KS, sucks winter for us all
I thought you were Mexican… but a bit white lookin’ LOL… Can’t wait to see your online vid & I would have been like WTF! LOL! Ya got the eyes of a country gal, my ex had them, a good friend has them and so do you…. I just took the name and judged you were Mexican girl…
Not in a bad way at all but never knew that you were midwest-country LOL
Hey Cuz!
My hubby is Mexican so that’s where I get the name. Have a good ole Irish maiden name…SWEENEY! Hows’ that for an Irish girl??
Yup! I am a Midwestern Country girl!! Kinda white and freckly!!
You know how hot and crowded it is here? Kansas is lookin pretty good! Fishin, swimmin in the lake, no traffic, folks are nice and the schools aren’t so crowded they forget your kid even goes there!! Oh and I just learned how much taxes we pay out here!! It’s crazy and they say the state is BROKE!! HAH! With all the taxes I pay I could feed a small country! Oh well, it’s home for now. Gotta love it!
Thanks for stoppin by!
