1. You wouldn't think my children are as old as they are.

2. I use to be overly shy, never talked. The kind of kid that would hide behind my mom's legs. Now I speak my mind.

3. Hard to trust people. With me it has to be earned. Been burned too many times.

4. Honesty, trust, and loyality is a must in any relationship.

5. Never felt pretty. It's what's on the inside that matters, beauty comes from within.

I, too, wanted to be a homicide detective!  AND I wanted to get a sign made to hang on my desk that said, "Homicide Division.  Our Day Begins when Yours Ends."....  Yes, I'm twisted and I know it....

2.  I know ALL the words to Don McClean's "American Pie"

3.  When I was a kid I was afraid of other people's dogs.

4.  At my last "country night" at the NCO Club in Guam, I was the DJ and I was given, by the various people about 15 jack and cokes.  Drank them all.

5. My whole life, my closest friends have always been women.

I'm RIGHT handed

I've been pulled over five times, one speeding ticket that my dad the police chief helped me get out of.

I'm going to the Circus with Britney on 9/11 even though I feel pretty old to go

When my husband was in the Army, I did know everyone's names, because they all wore name tags! Just stick a "Mrs." in front the last name for his wife! Simple!

Anytime I subscribe to a magazine (even one) I never read any of them!

Mike.  LOL.  I couldn't stop laughing when I read your "desk" sign.  Haha!  That's hilarious!  I have a friend who works in a morgue.  I'll have to get her that sign.  Yep, my favorite show was Homicide with Andre Braugher, I loved the movie Seven and one of my good friends was a Deputy Coroner.
