I have way too many stories that I never tell! When we got into the UPC, I used to talk about it a little bit, but my pastor assumed I was bragging and used to preach against it pretty much, so I pretended I was somebody else who didn't do any of that! As long as I looked good on the outside, all was well!! So, I have hardly talked about any of it since.

I wasn't rebellious until my mid 30's so I really didn't do anything 'bad'/"questionable" until ...well I am not telling

The thing is that since my parents took me to a lot of bars as a kid and my Dad gave me Peppermint Schnapps when I was, I don't know, maybe 11, I never saw what I did as all that bad. It was my perspective at the time. My Mom always told me that if I was going to smoke that I couldn't expect them to support my habit. I started smoking at age 13 and smoked until age 19, when I found God. My parents didn't like me getting drunk and smoking dope, but it was a definately different culture I grew up in than many people understand. My best friends mother was passed out in the living room of her house one time when we were asking her permission to do something. My friend shook her mom and asked and her mom mumbled something and we just kind of moved on. Not something we discussed or were worried about.

I thought it might be fun here, but just make it 5 -10.

Rules: List random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.

1. I wanted to be an interior decorator or florist - not a preacher's wife
2. I still love white wicker and daisies
3. I wore braces at 30 years old
4. I hate open blinds/curtains at night
5. I hum all the time

I think I can say with relative certainty that there is almost nothing that the people on AFF do not know about me.

I went to a Twisted Sister Concert too!! Little kids around 12 years old were smoking pot!!! I wanted to jerk the joint out of their hands and slap them! LOL! I preferred Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. LOL!

The worst thing I ever did was drive the get away car when one of my sisters threw a brick through the front glass window of our father's girlfriend's house. I'm pretty sure we hated her. LOL!

Being raised Catholic, you know the liquor was flowing! So, I know what you mean. I had my first beer in 7th grade. I absolutely loved liquor!! Didn't care much for drugs.

I use to fight with the Dallas cops, but once had one just empty my weed on the ground. I went to jail for other things back then. I am so thankful that God delivered me.

I never even noticed little kids there, I was too stoned to care. I do remember a kid right up against the speaker with his ear up on it. Kid probably can't hear to this day. It was the only concert I ever went to when I was young because we lived in the sticks and had to drive a couple hours to get there. We were poor too. I remember people holding up thier lighters and it being WAY TOO LOUD!! I did not like that at all.

One time (and I still feel bad about this), I was at a party (and fairly toasted)and was sitting in the drivers seat of this guys car. There were other girls in the car and we decided to start the car and take off with it. But I drove it through all these logging trails. I'm amazed to this day that I didn't get stuck! The guy was pretty ticked.

Yes, I was raised Catholic. But my Dad wasn't Catholic at all. I got drunk first time age 12. We felt "naughty" but not that we were really doing anything seriously bad.

Hilarious!!! After seeing your cute pictures, I just can't imagine!!!! I've only been to jail once, but I'm never telling anyone what I did.
