Things to Know about Me.

So on Facebook everyone is filling out these 25 random facts about themselves. I got sucked in...
here they are.

1. My real name is Shelby. Ive never gone by that name, always Ruthie.
2. I played with Barbies until I was the 6th grade, and after that I still secretly wanted to.
3. I will always have a special place in my heart for Killer Whales, ever since I saw Free
Willy. I want to save the whales. Sometimes I watch Shamu swim in his
tank online. http://seaworld.com/sitepage.aspx?PageID=375

5. My best friend Kate and I have the same exact job. But she lives in Texas.
6. I live in my Boss’s basement.
7. I talk to my sisters and brother every day. I would rather hang out with them than anyone
else.
8. When we were growing up, we used to have to pretend the president was eating dinner
with us because we had such bad table manners. My dad thought having him “there”
would make us more polite.
9. My favorite show is “The Biggest Loser”. I am friends with some of the past contestants
on facebook, and it makes me sort of giddy.
10. I can’t dive or do a cartwheel. Neither could my mom. And neither can my sister Bekah. I
think it is genetic.
11. I love Valentines day. It is my favorite holiday. My friend Kristi and I used to send
eachother “secret admirer” flowers and teddy bears in class on Valentines Day, so people
would think boys liked us. We did it all through High School… no one caught on, it worked.
12. I became a Christian because my sister told me that I was going to Hell. And the rest of the
family would be in heaven. Thanks Bek.

me to stay home with her. I am the baby
19. I am not good at sports, even though I really wish I was sporty spice.
