Re: Friday Five (A little late to the party)
1. If you could be sponsored for any activity of your choosing, which activity would you choose, and who would you choose as your sponsors?
I would be a cheerleading sponsor/coach for my local high school. I LOVED it growing up, and the squad has really gone down hill since I graduated. I would love to get in there and work them over! They didn't call me Captain Hitler for nothing! But, atleast two of my girls that I was captain over ended up being cheer captains at college, so I must have done something right! Haha!
2. What concert would you pay to have first row tickets to see?
Aerosmith...Steven Tyler = swoon...American Idol is a bit too much for me to handle...haha!
3. What's the best concert that you've ever been to?
Metallica (amazing!), Ozzy Osbourne (same night). Korn is up there, too
4. What terms/phrases/slang make you nuts?
When people say "WTF". And it isn't a phrase or anything, but my dad always did it growing up...and now Jeff does it...they say "barf" during a burp. It about makes me barf.
5. Plans for the weekend?
Wink wink...smiley face on the ovulation detector...ahahahah!
1. If you could be sponsored for any activity of your choosing, which activity would you choose, and who would you choose as your sponsors?

Aerosmith!!! They canceled their last show in the area here that I had tickets to bc of illness. I have been wanting to see Aerosmith for years and years!

I did not but DH graduated from there in '05. Could they have known each other??
ANNDD I'm from Richmond (well, Chesterfield)!
They might! I'm pretty sure DH graduated in '05 as well. He majored in economics, but he wasn't there all 4 years. He transferred in after 2 years in school in VA. Does your husband have a FB page? I'll have to show my husband if he does and see if the know each other.
That's too funny though, both DH and I ended up in Richmond on our own and found each other after being here for several years. It really is a small world.
