Confession Wednesday is late this week.

To combine Flashback Friday with Confession Wednesday (since I'm late), I'm going to fill you in on a little blast-from-the-past facts about my life.  You know, just for funsies...a little "get to know Ali."

1. I used to be a lifeguard. And teach swim lessons.

2. I permed my hair once in 2008. I looked like a poodle, that looked like Richard Simmons.

3. At my heaviest, just over 2 years ago, I weighed 178 lbs. Yikes.

4. I took classical piano AND singing lessons as a teenager.

5. I am a huge sucker for Billy Joel and Huey Lewis. The obsession started at a ripe young age of 8 years old.

6. I was accepted to the Natomas Charter School of Performing Arts, and I turned it down.

7. I didn't go away to college so I could stay in town for a HS boyfriend. That didn't work out.

8. I ran a red light day I got my driver's license.

9. Ryan Bast was the only boy allowed in my room until.....well, even now.

10. I used to swallow my peas like asprin, without chewing it, because it made me gag.

11. I always dreaded the day when my brother would be bigger than me and could kick my ass in return for doing it to him. That day has come.

12. I didn't have my first kiss until high school. 

13. I had a spider bite on the inside of my leg that gave me a scar.

14. I used to know every word to The Lion King movie. I still might.

15. I always wanted more siblings.

16. I got suspended in 8th grade for telling a substitute teacher to F*** off. And then tried to lie about it.

17. I tipped over someone's motorcycle in high school and tried to lie about that. I got caught.

18. I was absolutely terrified of Y2K. 

19. I used to eat raw cookie dough bits out of the box when I worked at Leatherby's. I'd keep them in my apron. I was fat.

20. And last but not least, there was one day during Oak Hill's spirit squad practice when Erin Bacay (?) shoved me for absolutely no reason. I have no idea why she did it, other than maybe I was just standing too close to her, but I still think about that.

I'm off to celebrate my babe's birthday a little early. It's a big, busy weekend of traveling, packing, moving and unpacking.  I am excited, I am READY for 4 days off, and I cannot wait to move. Everyone have a great weekend, and stay safe out there!!!
