62. Now mine...
1) First car was a 1973 Plymouth Fury III, metallic green with a green hardtop. :P My great aunt decided she could no longer drive at age 92, so she asked my mother if she could give it to me and my sister to use in college. That was my junior year in college, and I was damn glad to get that car. :) It only had 13,000 miles on it in 1984, 11 years after she bought it. :P She was the proverbial little old lady that only drove it to church on Sundays. :rofl: Problem was, though, that when she drove, she drove like a race car driver, and there were things wrong with it that the mechanic said would only have happened by driving it at very high speeds and taking corners too fast. :rofl: That car only got about 8 miles to the gallon. And we coulda driven it to the Love Shack, 'cause it was big as a whale and it's about to set sail.... :rofl:

2) When I was a kid, I stepped on some broken glass, and some of it was never removed because it was too deep. When I was in my late 20s, some of that glass worked its way to the surface, and I had to have it taken out. :yoiks:

3) I sleep in the nude and often let my dogs in or out in the middle of the night with nothing on. I appear at my back door naked very often. There are houses behind us, but the trees obscure any view they might have. :P Oh, and about two months ago, I stepped outside on the deck to round up one of our dogs about 2 AM, and I didn't have anything on. :evilgrin: It was dark, and no one was around....

4) I made a 1280 on the SAT in 1980.

5) I have two bachelor's degrees and one master's degree.

6) I have very fair skin that burns and never tans.

7) I listen to tunes in my car with the sound WAY up. Hey---Blitzkrieg Bop HAS to be loud! :rofl:

8) I've never had braces, and my teeth are almost totally straight. I attribute this to the fact that I used to make my baby teeth loose on purpose when I was a kid so that I'd get money from the tooth fairy. :rofl:

9) I worked as a lifeguard twice in the summers during and after high school. I was a certified Water Safety Instructor and am an excellent swimmer.

10) I have an acute sense of smell and amaze my family by picking up on scents so quickly. The downside of that is that smells like asphalt make me ill. :(

11) I make the baby Jesus cry a lot.

12) I was a Girl Scout from elementary school (actually a Brownie then) all the way through my senior year in high school.
