Firsts

Since this is my first blogger post, here are some other firsts:

First time I rode on an airplane: On the way to Disneyland in California for my 7th birthday.

First time I got in trouble in school: 1st grade. I forgot to put my milk ticket in the box. This was before I figured out I could just lie and say I didn't want milk that day.

First time I almost got taken away: My mom grabbed my arm to talk to me about my impatience at the mall. I screamed for social services and told her they take kids away from their families for things like this.

First time I left the country and could remember it: London for Gold Orchestra concerts in June 1997.

First job: Working in a K-State lab washing beakers and watering plants.

First boyfriend: This kid named Tommy in 8th grade who thought it was a really big deal when he kissed me on the cheek. I think I broke up with him because he bored me.

First car: 1987 Chrysler LeBaron. Hatchback. Power windows. Woo.

First time I voted: 2000 presidential election. Voted for Gore, of course.

First time I felt God in a big way: December 2004 involving the most devastating time in my life yet.

First time I took narcotics: Percocet this summer after wisdom teeth and two dry sockets. It made my skin itch like crazy so I looked like a chipmunk drug addict.

First time I woke up on a bathroom floor: This summer after a very crazy night of shots.

First time I got glasses: Today. I couldn't read the TV Guide channel anymore so it was getting dangerous.
