100 Things about me....

Since EVERYBODY is doing it these days I will join the crowd.


1. I like to have dance parties......with myself.
2. My nickname as a child was 'Boo Boo' because I got my feelings hurt easily and cried all the time.
3. I was a state champion runner in high school and all-state soccer player.
4. I got a misdemeanor for throwing tomatoes at someone's house and it is my least favorite thing to claim from my mischevious days.
5. College was the funnest time of my life. I am missing it still.
6. I really love a whopper value meal once in awhile but there aren't a lot who share my love.
7. I don't have many secrets......that I can remember keeping about myself.
8. Take my father, put blonde hair on him and pluck his eybrows and you will see an exact replica of me.
9. I have six sibling, three sisters and three brothers.
10. I threw up on my first ski bus trip and was mortified because I was with the cool guy snowboarders that I wanted to impress.
11. My mom once told me that I was the lazziest child she ever had (Maybe Riley can win the title when he is in high school).
12. I had a crush on a cute cowboy in college. He broke horses which is so manly, but unfortunately he didn't like Bridgetts.
13. I cannot fall asleep if Brent is touching me. I am known for pushing him back over to his side.
14. Most of my family live outside of the state of Utah.
15. I really love to swim.
16. I have a turned up nose and so does my husband.
17. I don't read a lot of books but wish that I did so I could be more intellectual.
18. I don't brush my hair.
19. I learned to ride a bike on a yellow banana-seat bike which my brother took me to the dirt biking hills with and sent me down a hill which I consequently crashed, and walked home crying.
20. I cannot deny I have a fascination with celebrities, but I wish that I didn't, but I don't think I will change as long as I don't have children.
21. I forget to wear deoderant and my husband has to remind me.
22. I have a doughnut of fat around my belly button. It varies in size. I have had it since I was five years old, but it doesn't stop me from wearing bikinis.
23. My best times in high school were skinny dipping, playing soccer, running relay races and my AP English class.
24. When I was little my mom had a hard time keeping my clothes on. She told me she would just find a trail of clothes and she knew I was on the loose. High school wasn't much different.
25. If I don't eat I turn into a mean oager.
26. My sister once told me on the subject of beauty, "What you have is a very unique look."
27. I kiss my husband way too much.
28. When I was little I prayed many times that Heavenly Father would make me beautiful when I grew up.
29. I have had my heart broken once.
30. I wasted most of my wishes as a child hoping my favorite kitten would come back. Somewhere around jr. High or highschool I figured she was long gone, maybe even buried by my dad in the back field.
31. I have pretty hands.
32. We used to have a share in a houseboat on Lake Powell. Some of my favorite memories are when my family vacationed there. Once my eldest brother was taunting my other brother by swirling around his boat on a jet ski. My other brother got really mad and yelled at him to stop but he wouldn't. The brother in the boat ended up jumping out of the boat while throwing an oar at my other brother's head. Ah family.
33. I had a love/hate relationship with high school.
34. I eat as much as Brent.
35. I want to be known as a good person when I die........and smart, and pretty, and talented.
36. I went to Homecoming with the quarterback of the football team (my mom was really excited). He didn't even walk me to the door. I basically got kicked out of his truck.
37. I grew up on a small farm.
38. My mom is an amazing teacher.
39. My favorite name to name EVERYTHING was Crystal when I was little. We had a lot of wild cats named Crystal.
40. I am not a fan of people who don't answer their cell phones or call people back.
41. I forgot to say that when the quarterback of the football team came to my house to ask me my dad found him and his friend hiding and cornered them with his shotgun. He thought they were stealing his sheep.......gotta love dad.
42.When I was little my sister and I used to think that stink weeds were the most beautiful flower and we would pick as much as we could and would bring them into my mother. She graciously would put them in water and never tell us that they were weeds and that they made her sneeze.
43. I want five children.
44. I want badly to be a good artist, speaker, and mother.
45. I really love Yoga!
46. I am not what you would call a very organized person, and the funny thing about this is I am a secretary so I need to be WAY organized!
47. Brent and I kissed on our first date.
48. I absolutely hate shaving my legs.
49. I didn't shave my legs until I was 17. Unfortunately this means that many people from high school only know me as that girl that doesn't shave her legs.
50. I love the way Brent smells.
51. I really love Brent, he makes me laugh everyday.
52. My mom had a baby when I was 12. I was then the youngest of six and it changed my life.
53. I really love to laugh and I usually like everyone that makes me laugh. ps. I think Brad Knickerbocker is the funniest person I know.
54. I was in a bad sledding accident when I was in high school and my neck has never been the same since.
55. An old friend of mine told some college friends that I was the meanest girl in high school.
56. My mother was a beauty queen. I don't look a thing like her.
57. My father was the student body president of his highschool. There is picture at the front of his yearbook of the principle with my dad literally over his lap and paddling him with paddle. Back then I am sure that is was meant to be funny. I don't know if that would fly now.
58. I have desires to be a great cook, gardener, and house decorator one day.
59. I very much would like to have a modern home.
60. I am very sensitive to peoples perceptions.
61. I really hate it when men with thin or balding hair wear ponytails.
62. I don't have any self control when it comes to not eating goodies.
63. As a kid I spent many hours out in the fields singing with my finger in the air trying to get the birds to land on it.
64. My mom let me take singing lessons because my brothers and sisters teased me about how bad I sang.
65. I was Alice the youngest bride in 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' in high school. I begged the director to take the kiss out of the last scene because I didn't want my first kiss to be with some slimey drama geek ( I don'mean geek in the nerd kind of way. You all know the cutest drama guy who all the girls like, but he knows it and so it makes him kind of slimey and he isn't even that cute. That guy.) I guess he was amused because he took it out.
66. I still have my teddy bear from when I was little. It has the red cordrouy vest that my mom made for it with little cream lace trim.
67. I got two art scholarships while at Utah State. Funny because I got an 'F' in painting as a Sophomore.
68. I love my in-laws. I love how easy my mother-in-law is to talk to.
69. I literally ran from the butch nazi-ess truancy officer at my highschool. She rewarded me later with a day in TIP.
70. I am suprised I didn't die in high school. I did a lot of stupid things.
71. My friend Becky and I swam across a lake and back one night because we felt like we could swim forever. We were lucky we didn't drowned. Too bad a storm was coming and we didn't have time to stop and rest when we got to the other side. When we reached the shore we both stood up and fell to the ground because we were so waterlogged.
72. I was the second runner-up for Harvest Ball queen.
73. I have wrestled a few greased pigs and caught them at a fair near Vernal. It was a fast way to make some quick cash. I kept one of them for awhile and named it "Francie".
74. I was a wildland firefighter in the summers to pay for college.
75. When I was a wildland firefighter I at an enormous stink bug for a little less than a $100. A girls gotta pay the bills.
76. My most favorite thing my grandfather said to me before he died was after my mission when he was frail and sick was "How's my yellow rose of Texas?"
77. I have 25 people in my Dart family and one on the way.
78.I peed on my future brother-in-laws truck when I was a sophomore in high school. How was I supposed to know he was going to marry my sister?
79. My mother never wanted her daughters to be silly about love. I try not to be, but I am silly about love.
80. I wish that I exercized more.
81. I wish that I went to a bigger high school and had coaches that pushed me more.
82. Almost all of my friends from college are from Sandy or that area.
83. Part of me will always love my mission to Texas and part of me will always be saddened by it.
84. I want kids with dark curly hair really badly, but I think I have a small chance of it.
85. I would love to have twin little boys that ran around in just diapers and cowboy boots and hats......forever.
86. I like to drive by myself and listen to music sometimes.
87. I wish that my parents had friends to hang out with.
88. I am really bad at shooting basketballs.
89. I love having sisters. They have helped me out in life so much.
90. I am excited to be able to travel with Brent some day.
91. I never budgetted before I got married.
92. I used to have very thick hair.
93. I still wish that I could have gotten married in the summer.
94. I love icecream any time of the day.
95. When I was little my mom would make me cut my hair short and she let my sister grow it long. I thought she did this because I was the uglier child, because we all know people who are ugly have short hair.
96. I love everyone in my family very much!
97. I get sad when I haven't seen my friends in awhile.
98. I got myself a real gem of a husband. Stay away nurses - he's mine!
99. I could do better at a lot of things.
100. I once ran my car into a cinder block wall of a building because my brakes when out.

Hi Bridgette! First, welcome! I'm glad you are an official Blogger... love your title.

Second, love your 100 list! Especially #63 for some reason... so funny.

I must say, I learned lots about your wild ways... :)

Kim said...

Hi Bridgette, I'm so glad you finally joined. And look you found the perfect title!
I think that you should make a movie out of your life. It seriously sounds like one. That was my favorite 100 to read, every number was a new surprise!

Brad K. said...

Bridgett,

I think I knew a lot of the stuff on your list but when its presented all at once it sounds like most of it is made up. That's a huge compliment, if you couldn't tell.

I'm glad I know you.

Brad

PS You took AP English?

Bridgett said...

You wouldn't be able to tell from my bad use of English but I was in AP English class for 2 years but never took the test. I think I had a track meet or something. Anyway, I took it purely for the discussions that went on. There were cheerleaders, jocks, fantasy nerds, druggies and everyone in between, and no one was afraid to share their opinions. It was awkward adolescence at its best. Maybe one day I will blog about some of them.

ali said...

Oh, Bridgett. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Oh wait. I just read 100 of them.

You are so incredibly fabulous that a book should be written about you. In fact, I'm sure that if I ever write a book, it will revolve around a smart, funny, well-rounded, beautiful, kind, fun-loving western gal like you ... the kind who tried to get birds to land on her finger while she played on her farm.

So happy you're a blogger.

Bridgett,

great list. you are one wild child. Between the stories I have heard from both you and Sam Malouf, I can't believe Vernal still exists.

Bridgett,
I still wish I got married in the summer too, but, who can wait for sex?

Anonymous said...

Bridgett,
Um, it's my first time using blog and I really didn't mean to send that message. I really apologize to everyone. Hopefully, no kids will read it. Your loving sister Katrina. Bridgett liked the 100 waiting for 200.

Hey Brigett heres a comment.

Update you blog!

Bridgett said...

Jared... I am so glad that you commented on my blog. I secretly keep track of you (hope that doesn't sound creepy) by looking at your wife's blog all the time but I never comment because I am sure she doesn't remember meeting me that one time in St. George. Good to hear from you and we need to catch up sometime!
