I was born in a small town in Minnesota and am almost 100% Norwegian

My kids are my absolute pride and joy. I love them the mostest. :O)

I am severely claustrophobic

I am afraid of heights (big hindrance when painting signs years ago, and now get others to install for me)

I am still friends with all of my ex's, (one husband, 4 long time bfs) who call, email and text regularly

I love to garden (even in the winter) which explains why I don't much care for snow

I cannot swim (but sitting by the ocean with my toes in the sand is my favorite spot in the world)

I love to dance, doesn't matter if it's on the beach, in the rain or at home

All my best long time friends are men (my two best female friends died of alcoholism)

I have never been a drinker (one glass of champagne or one white russian is all I like)

I love astronomy (too bad my telescope broke) dammit

I cannot stand to be bossed (which explains the divorce)

Very shy at first around people I don't know

Brutally honest is my middle name. Don't much care for phony people

TV spaces me out. I 'watch' it, but 'see' what I am thinking instead. Most of the time this is sign designs being tossed around in my head at night. My son gets a kick out of this as he can change the channel and knows I won't notice.

I am very spiritual (not so much religious) but I believe in God, and really get a charge out of hikes, mountains, thunder, lightening, rainbows (no, I am straight) the badlands, ocean waves, and storms (well you get my drift)

Recycling and 'saving the earth' are important to me

(this will surprise bob and shovel, I have a high IQ)

I carry on conversations with my dog all the time. He understands. My daughter has also acquired this little habit

My aim is excellent in shooting and darts

I have always thought about my designs a day or two before actually painting the sign or getting online and laying out the sign. (this explains what I am doing while 'watching' tv.)
Some call this procrastination. I don't. Some of the best ideas pop into your head in the middle of the night

Myspace, facebook, IM, these have all helped me keep track of my kids and allowed me to be friends with their friends, and know what is going on in their lives.

I do get bored easily. Age, numbers etc. don't mean much to me. I am not into money, (I forget to send invoices or keep track of my bank accounts way too often) but have been fortunate all these years to have raised my kids well, to have a home to call ours, take plenty of vacations, and get a kick out of life!

  22. After working as a corporate sign yuppie in Manhattan for a year, I quit, moved my luggage to my parents house, and went back to spend the last of my savings partying around Tompkins Square with the homeless and the squatters. When I ran out of money, I took over a city owned abandoned building in alphabet city (crack-town) with fellow squatters, and proceeded to improve our free lodging accommodations through midnight scavenges of Manhattan dumpsters for building materials which resulted in replacing concrete sealed entryways with steel framed locking doorways, and hotwired splicing of our buildings electricity into the city power system from down in the manhole on our street
  23. After learning to snowboard in NY, I relocated to New Mexico to continue my co-parenting, get hired to continue learning the sign trade, and further my hobby of snowboarding
  24. In 1994, I decided to file 12 years of un-filed tax returns, move to Maui, and start to grow up. Over the next 5 years, I built up a sign business, repaid all my debts, and built up flawless credit
  25. 10 years ago, I decided to take a year off of my 20 year long daily habit of consuming extremely excessive amounts pot and beer. I became a workaholic instead, got married again, bought 2 houses, & established my sign business & my current lifestyle as the favorite thing I've ever done in this entire list!

hitch-hiked into NYC with $100 and the address of one aquaintence. I stayed a year, made $30k (in 80's dollars) and began my sign career.

How do you hitch-kike from Hawaii?

No seriously, I really enjoyed reading your 25 facts!

How do you hitch-kike from Hawaii?

I was on my "year off' of parenting, and had quit my architectural drafting job in Hawaii, to spend the first half of the summer with my then 9 yr old daughter. After flying her to her mom's, I joined my mom and dad for their summer vacation on a small island in a small lake in northern Ontario. I talked my dad into re-routing his return to Chicago through Buffalo NY, instead of Detroit MI, because it offered a closer place for me to jump out & start my adventure.

GREAT THREAD by the way!!
I've enjoyed reading everyone's 25 things!
