i've been tagged...and you're next.

anne from bun in the oven tagged me for this meme.  you know, the one where i share seven random things about myself.  here we go, again. 

1. i chew on my pen caps.  i know - bad for the teeth!
2. from the third grade until i graduated high school, i spelt my name: jeni.  it was always legally: jenny (not jeni and certainly not jennifer).  i think my parents told me when i was little they meant to have it spelt jeni, so i just started spelling it that way because it was different.  i never legally had it changed (that costs $).  when i graduated high school, the retards in charge of our yearbook put 'jennifer' under my photo on our senior page.  i was pissed but whatever.  nothing like really asking someone what their name is - drrrrr.  anyways, in college i started spelling my name as it was legally: jenny.  now, i like it that way much better.  oh, and don't you dare call me jennifer.  i hate that, as some of you might know.
3. i have been pulled over by the law a few too many times to admit to.  i've had um, two speeding tickets and one stop sign violation ticket (which i got on my BIRTHDAY).  i've had one written warning and well, a baker's dozen verbal warnings.  there, i admitted it all.  i haven't been pulled over since last summer.  i hope to keep the streak alive.  i swear - i'm slowing down officers.  it helps i only drive to work every other week.  that cuts down my odds of having my plates ran.
4. if i am driving somewhere, i have a habit of trying to figure out to the minute what time i will arrive at my destination.  i look at the clock, i figure in the miles and how fast i'm driving.  i like to see how close i get and usually - i'm right on the money.
5. i have a scar on top of my right foot from dragging the top of my foot on the sidewalk when i was riding my bike.  i was about eight when this happened.  it hurt like hell, but the scar is a perfect circle.  it's kinda cool.
6. i hate washing dishes with food on them.  i wash them off before i clean them with the scrubbie.  oh, and i don't fill the sink with dishwater and let them soak in all that.  ick!  i just rinse, wash, and rinse again.  no soaking in dirty water.  i don't even like to pull the plug in a sink of dirty water!
7. at my wedding, we gave away trees as favors.  however, we never planted one in our own yard!  we did get a red maple as a wedding gift that we did plant in our yard so i think that counts.  however, it was about six feet tall and our little tree favors were just starting their lives!  i hope there were a lot of people that planted them!  okay, and an additional note: i'm not a treehugger!  :)

the rules are to tag seven people to share seven things about themselves.  well, i'd like to know seven random things about libby, jaime, hope, leah, cass, amy, and mary!  sorry ladies, i had to let you share in the fun!

Only two tickets?? When my training officer pulled my driving record for van training, he asked if I still had a license. I looked the sheet over and said hey, the one I got in Tennessee isn't on here.

don't feel bad jeni, we didn't end up planting any of the trees we gave out at our wedding either. we didn't even go home with any.

The tree favors were a great idea. Certainly different from most wedding favors!

These are fun! I will have to do one next week when I have more time....

Two speeding tickets!?!? That's nothing compared to me. I racked up quite a few points in my earlier days...luckily I've been clear for a couple of years now! Everyone always said I was weird for not filling the sink with water...what's the point in washing dishes in water that just keeps on getting dirtier!!

we play #4 as a family game in the car :) good stuff. do you think that #7 is bad luck? ha ha.

[jenny's mom]

i still feel bad about the flowers for your birthday that got you that stop sign ticket, although i think you would have drove slowly thru it anyways! you and you brother i think were in a rut for awhile getting tickets :)
the trees i planted from your wedding are still growing!!!

[amy]
