Tagged continued . . .

4. So you think you can dance???? Oh ya, we don't just think we can. Keri was a dancer when she was a little girl for many years. With sequins, fluffed up ponytails, and way too much make-up she can clog with the best of them. I on the other hand have never clogged but took a dance class in college. Little did I know that with only a semesters training I would win a peanut butter cup with a 3rd place finish in the end of the semester polka tournament. You heard me right, the Polka. We have since lost the passion for the sport but you never know when polka and clogging skills might come in handy.

5. "I don't feel so good" . . . One night me and Keri were sitting on the couch watching TV and Keri had fallen asleep which is not an uncommon event. I was having the last couple of chewy chips ahoy cookies in a package and was saving the last two or three for her. She stirred and opened her eyes and I asked her if she wanted the last cookies. She nodded and I handed them to her and she put them in her mouth and turned over and fell back to sleep as soon as she swallowed I think. When we were going to bed she said she didn't feel so good and went to the bathroom and threw up. I asked her the next morning if she thought the cookies didn't settle well to which she replied "what cookies?" She had to recollection of eating the cookies so a warning to all who read this, don't eat cookies while you are sleeping! I remember a camping trip when I was probably like 7 or 8 and it was pretty cold at night. Me and one of my brothers were staying in a smaller tent and we had a ton of blankets on us. I only have vague memories of that trip except in the morning I had barfed and it was all over the place, and I mean all over the place. There was barf on the ceiling of the tent. It was a little two man tent but still, think about that one for a minute. Barf on the ceiling. Impressive to think that I fell right back to slept after such an event.

6. While you were sleeping . . . . While Keri was working on a routine patient at her dental assisting job one day she wasn't feeling so good. She told her boss " I'm not feeling well" to which her boss replied" do you want May to take over" (May is another assistant) The next thing she remembers is waking up sitting in the chair for those who come with the patient with her boss saying "put you head between your legs." She had passed out and her boss caught her with one hand with out letting go of a threaded needle for stitches that was still connected to the patients mouth. To her defense she said that surgery seemed extra bloody for some reason. I have no aspirations to be a police officer but I have reoccurring dreams where I am a member of a SWAT team. I am fully armed and wearing all of the gear and usually searching buildings and saving the day. If I were the bad guy in my dreams I would not mess with me because I am probably the second best shot on my team except for the sniper and I am not a black belt or anything but will catch you and take you down you can be sure of that. I don't know what that dream really means so anyone with dream interpretation abilities feel free to comment.
