Because I haven't posted in a while...

31-40

31. I used to read under my covers with a flashlight, until my mother confiscated it and then I would read by light of my alarm clock. I wouldn’t recommend trying this it will give you a major eyestrain headache.

32. When I was young I thought that Princess Diana was an old woman. Lynness had a Princess Diana paper doll that was well used and that someone had decided to doctor with a pen—the total effect made her face look like an old woman. It wasn’t until just a few years before her death that I realized she was young.

33. I took dance lessons when I was 4 and 5

34. I had to quit for part of the year for surgery on my legs.

35. After the surgery I had to relearn how to walk.

36. I appeared in the dance school recital with a cane.

37. My mother wouldn’t let any of us kids watch the first half hour or forty-five minutes of Return of the Jedi until we were teenagers

38. I absolutely love roller coasters—the scarier the better!

39. Rather than making up stories for my toys I tended more towards designing. It would drive Heather nuts because I would always just want to design new clothes and ensembles for our Barbies rather than play with them. The same thing applied to Legos; I always just liked to design houses and such. With Dominoes I preferred designing complicated domino rally set ups rather than playing by any of the real rules.

40. I once entered a cookie making contest they had for children at the State Fair. I didn’t win, but I did get into the Fair for free.
