Random facts about who? You that's who! And well me too!

I think i've shared this before, but I was Joe (then Joseph) Jonas' Kindergarten teacher, and from 2006-2012 Jay Sekulow was our attorney. Who knew they would be such public figures? I'm fine with being "unknown", LOL :swingin
I was in chorus all through 7-12 grades. Loved:heartlub it and can read music, but can't play an instrument! Tried flute and piano but :no2.
 
You asked for random... I have a twin sister (well sort of). Jenny was born on my birthday, just 8 years after I was born.

Here we are a couple of years ago with mom. I have 4 other siblings in addition to Jenny.

And I can't hear tones at all...

My nieces are like you guys. Same birthday but about 10 yrs apart. Pretty Cool
 
All this talk about being in the choir. I was the only one in the fifth grade NOT to pass the tryouts. I cannot carry a tune for the life of me. My mother, sisters, and daughters all have beautiful voices, but not me.
 
I twirled the baton -starting in about the 6th grade. In high school, I taught baton lessons and when I was a senior, I was the Head Majorette. I marched in front of the band, right behind the Drum Major.
 
I was in a head on collision on my wedding day when another driver lost control of his car and hit my dad and I head on. I got married on a gurney in the hospital. (I had to because I went to a military hospital and they were going to charge us alot of money if I didn't get married so I could use my husbands military health insurance. )
 
I’ve been singing in choirs/ensembles since grade school, and had several teachers who made sure we had the basics of reading music. I now play the autoharp to accompany our hymn and chorus singing in our home-church. I’m really good with the keys of C, G, and F!!! Other than those, I have to really practice! (Google autoharp to see what it is!)

That is an interesting instrument. We have a resident where I volunteer in Aged Care who has one of those and he played it a little for us one day.
 
I was in the chorus of a total of 4 amateur musicals and really am not a good singer and cannot read music. The musical I enjoyed the most was Carousel and it was special because as well as the singing and acting in the musical I helped with painting the backdrops. Maybe I need to scan those photos one day and create some digital pages !!!

What a great memory! The first off broadway musical I saw was Carousel.
 
I was in chorus and band and still can't really read music at all lol

Here's my random:
I have an irrational fear of running out of cheese :giggle I buy it every time I go to the store, just in case we are running low.

How is it almost none of us can read music but we’re in chorus?

Hubby and I have been watching all these YouTube things about different cheeses, I know we live the life, and yesterday we went to the store and picked up a bunch of different ones to try! I am so excited about our little cheese buffet.
 
My random fact:
I look at the clock every day at 12:34... and if I miss it in the afternoon- I will wake up & look at it at night. So weird huh!?
That’s a strange one. We have a grandfather clock that dongs and I have to always count them when it goes off. It is especially helpful/not helpful when I am having my insomnia fits and I can know how long I have been laying there without falling asleep.

Ohhh I love that! I want to have a cheese buffet!
 
On a train trip up from Washington DC to Philadelphia to be on American Bandstand, we girls all had to go to the bathroom at the same time (of course) so our chaperone told me and my bff to use the men's toilet. We did but the door got stuck, we were locked in and they had to get maintenance to get the door open. I figured we could crawl out the window if need be but my bff sobbed and sobbed.

I haven't thought of this for decades!
