15 day challenge, Day 1

So my dear friend Claire is a regular writer. I enjoy her writings. And sometimes she even inspires me to write. Which I hate to do. So I'm taking her 15 day blog challenge......maybe. Okay so day 1 is 15 fun facts about yourself. A few of them are directly inspired from a few of Claire's. Here we go. 

1) I have two middle names. When I was born my given name was Amanda Louise Weise Sparks. Part B interesting fact is my mom did not do the same for my sister. In some ways it was a little prophetic since my grandparents did help raise me and give me a home. 

2) In honor of Claire's confession regarding her butt crack here is mine. I have a crooked butt crack. I did not know about it until Steven told me. How do you go 27 years not knowing you have a crooked butt crack??

3) I am self diagnosed with slight OCD tendencies. I eat my M&M's two at a time. I like things to have patterns and order. I fold my towels a certain way. The toilet paper should come out on top of the roll and I WILL fix yours in your house if it isn't. 

4) I have a little left brain. Well actually just a part of my left brain is smaller. Drastically smaller. 

5) I hate writing. So why am I attempting this 15 day blog challenge?? I don't know but I am. Maybe it's to try to break my hate of writing. 

6) I stuck a rock in my ear when I was 4. Long story short they had to gas me to get it out at the hospital. And my cousin Dawn cried and cried, "Don't put Mandy to sleep!" Obviously a bad choice of words used with a four year old that had a cat that was 'put to sleep'. 

7) I went to four high schools. Too many alma maters, fight songs, and traditions to remember. It sucked yet probably was one of my biggest challenges through my teen years. 

8) I think I've had 15 or 16 different addresses. Ugh. My life has been in boxes. 

9) I can drive a standard. It may not be a 'fun' fact but it's practical. I think it's fun to drive. 

10) I can say I'm an only child, I'm the oldest, and I'm the youngest. Figure that one out folks!

11) I hope my children turn out to be as goofy and dorky as me. I hope they will be willing to laugh at themselves all the time and have a great sense of humor. 

12) I am not a creative crafter. I'm a follow the pattern/directions type crafter. I wish I could be both. 

13) I don't like to cook. I'm not bad at cooking. I just don't like to. But I like to bake! Bring on the brownies!!

14) I have had private lessons or taken a class for piano, trumpet, violin, clarinet, voice and guitar. I have mastered none of them. I should've played sax. 

15) I changed my mind on what I wanted the last 'fun fact' to be. It's part of my issue with writing. In reviewing my rough draft I decided to scratch it. Maybe you can come up with my last fun fact since my writing block is blocked.  Uh, that's not how it goes is it?? Oh well. :o)
