Getting to Know Your Weenie

by ihaddad on July 5, 2011

Boogie ShoesA few things you may not know about IleenieWeenie…

  1. I suffer from emetaphobia (irrational fear of vomit). More than once I’ve spent the night in my car in the driveway when my husband’s had a stomach bug.
  2. One summer I took graphic design courses in Switzerland with the guy who designed the IBM logo.
  3. I was a ski bum in Vail, Colorado for three years.
  4. I won 1st place in the 6th grade science fair with an experiment involving human teeth.
  5. My parents almost named me Samantha, but my mom was worried that if I had a lisp I’d be Thamantha Markowithz.
  6. I was Junior class president of my high school.
  7. I once tread water for seven hours straight for a contest at summer camp. (I won)
  8. I don’t eat meat that walks on land, and I don’t like vegetables.
  9. I kept a pair of rhinestone dance shoes in the trunk of my car for nearly 10 years. (because you just never know)
  10. One of the best meals of my life was Long John Silver’s takeout, and I wasn’t even stoned.

** Mr. Weenie thinks I should add that I’ve never seen “The Outlaw Josey Wales.”

8. I’ll be sure to trim the feet off the Salmon next time I cook for you.

That’s going to have to be a series of posts, most of which will be very blurry.

I hope you put those shoes back in your car because that is a great idea :) I keep one pair of ridiculous shoes in my closet even though I haven’t worn them in years just in case I get invited to a ball.
I’m patiently waiting on 11-20 (I knew most of these!) :)

Yeah, the problem is that half my list will have to wait until both my grandmothers and my parents are dead.

My parents thought I was going to be a boy and I was supposed to be Raymond Patrick Benavides. Luckily they had Bonnie Catherine just in case.
I would like to see these sparkly dancing shoes the next time I see you!!
