Back in October, Shawn and Sara posted 8 Random Things on their blog and encouraged other people to list 8 Random Things of their own. We made a list of our random things which I put on my desk to put on the blog. It was then covered by other important papers and just unearthed today. Better late than never.
1. We are a car-free household.
2. We are big Veronica Mars fans, but have only seen the show on DVD.
3. We are both in the helping professions.
4. We are big readers, though we rarely read the same types of books
5. We have been known to bike long distances with friends, but not each other.
6. We like Shadows Over Camelot, a fabulous board game. Patricia thinks the name is cheesy and replaces the word "Shadows" with other ominous sounding words: "Dark Skies," "Hurricanes," "Dick Cheney," "Flat Tax"
7. We each have a vice that the other can't stand. His vice: Video games. Mine: People Magazine.
8. We each agree that the other is funny but say that "I am the funny one in the relationship" (Though Patricia said this phrase first, so clearly she is the funny one in the relationship.)
Jess and I read this together and had such a great laugh! We loved what you put on your list and how you put it! We especially like #6 (flat tax and Cheney blasting, what could be funnier?!?!), 7 (that is one greta thing about having a doctor for a mom -she would always pilfer the People magazine from the office - it would always go back after we all had read it!), and 8 (classic!) -S
ReplyDeleteSome random things about us (Patricia and Sara):
1. At one time we liked to say "Bennett for senate" after spending some time in Utah together over a summer (it cracks me up now because neither one of us would have EVER voted for him)
2. We were both members of the BHS cymbal corps - oh how nice cymbal flashes during a drum solo can be!
3. We one-upped a distant relative of S's in the Daughters of the Pioneers museum in SLC
4. S loved to send contraband duck items to P when she was at Cottey
5. P gave S her first handkerchief and got her hooked and now that is all she carries
6. We followed the red brick trail all the way from beginning to end when P was in Boston
7. We have a special favorite shared dessert at a truck-stop in Boise (with Ms. C) - but it contains quite a bit of chocolate which S does not like...go figure
8. We have been friends for over 15 years (we had a little hiatus in the middle - but that hardly counts!)
