I've never done this before!


I've Been Tagged This is my first tag ever. I was tagged by Catherine, so here it goes:


7 random and/or weird facts about me:

1. I smuggled an Alaska Malamute Puppy on an airplane from Alaska to Utah. It was only four weeks old and I've never had a dog before so I had no idea how to take care of this poor animal! I smuggled it in a duffle bag that had mesh sides so it could breathe. The guy who asked me to take the puppy to Utah for him said that all I had to do was give the dog a baby aspirin and it would sleep the whole trip, YEAH RIGHT! It howled the entire time! I didn't get into trouble though until I had to transfer planes from Alaska Air to Southwest, they absolutely have a NO PET policy! What was I supposed to do just leave the poor dog in the airport? So, yes I put it in the duffle bag. She peed everywhere! I got a couple of airplane pillows to put in the duffle bag and when she was sort of quiet I hurried onto the plane! I kept hearing people around me asking if a baby was crying and then someone said it sounded like an animal, the flight attendant tracked down the howling and was FURIOUS! She gave me a big lecture on how if someone was allergic to my dog they would have to make an emergency landing and it would ruin everyone's plans for the holidays. All the flight attendants kept walking by and staring at me, some of them would say, "So you're the one with the dog," and shake their heads. They tried to corner me to tell me that I couldn't get off the plane that I was going to be fined or something. BUT I realized that Southwest doesn't have assigned seating so they had no idea who I was, I bailed! I will NEVER do anything like that again! That is the short version too!
2. I was kidnapped when I was a little girl, thank goodness my dad found me!
3. I love to dance and I'm TERRIBLE at it, thank goodness my kids don't know how bad I am! When Jeff is gone we always sing and dance and I can be my retarded awkward self :)
4. I like Spam :) My mom used to make it for me all the time, to some of you that may explain a lot :)
5. I got to meet Richard G. Scott and shake his hand and the whole time I kept thinking, "Some little man took Richard G. Scott's head!" He is a little guy! He is AWESOME!
6. I went running with my old roommate once in Oakley, Idaho and we got chased by a llama.
7. I haven't missed a day reading my scriptures for almost two years now! I just need to do more studying!!!

It was fun to read your random/weird facts. I had to laugh about the dog on the airplane, and the llama in Oakley. Funny! The llama is still leaving in Oakley. I see it everytime I walk by the field it's in.
