2. WHAT KIND OF CAR DID YOU DRIVE? I was the proud owner of a p.o.s. red 1985 chevy cavalier.
3. DID YOU PASS YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE TEST YOUR FIRST TRY? No, I took the easiest test they offered and failed. Then next test I got was the hardest and didn’t miss any. Go figure.
4. WERE YOU A PARTY ANIMAL? Um, if I’m being honest I was kinda wild in high school.
5. WERE YOU CONSIDERED A FLIRT? I am not really sure, I know I flirted but I really don’t know how I was perceived as far as flirting went.
6. WERE YOU IN BAND, ORCHESTRA, OR CHOIR? No the musical fairy passed me by when I was born so I was the musical outcast of the family.

8. WERE YOU ON ANY VARSITY TEAMS? No, the sports talent fairy passed me by as well.
9. DID YOU EVER GET SUSPENDED/EXPELLED? Yes, I was suspended my senior year for three days and banished to my Grandparents house in Orangeville to wait out my sentence. I had sluffed 25 too many times in one quarter. I was also almost kicked out of school in January of my senior year but by some miracle I was allowed to do a home bound program and continue my education at home and allowed to graduate so that I would never have to look back and deal with high school again. (thanks mom for helping me get past that part of my life)

11. WHO WERE YOUR FAVORITE TEACHERS? Mr. Taylor, Coach Gressman, Mrs. Carrillo, Mr. Thompson.

23. DID YOU HAVE A JOB IN HIGH SCHOOL? Yes I worked at the old Milky Way until it closed between my jr and sr year and then I worked at Mont Harmon as an office aide for half the year until I was home bound and then the superintendent wouldn’t let me keep working.

Rock Collecting

In September Izzy woke up one morning and wanted to go outside and find some rocks to add to her collection. I thought it might be fun to take her somewhere new to collect rocks so we headed to the hills with Derek and grandma. We brought ziploc bags for collecting our finds in, while we were there we discovered cactus growing everywhere. The first cactus that we came to I stopped all the kids and pointed it out and told them all that we needed to watch out for the poky cactus because it would hurt them if they stepped on it. That was all it took, every cactus we came across the 3 kids crowded around the dusty green plants and Izzy would tell the two babies to stay away and the babies would point and say "poky, poky!" Although Izzy found lots of rocks for her collection the expedition turned out to be more of a cactus hunt for the other two. It was a great day!
