Going around Facebook so will share here too...

25 Randomw things THINGS....
I somehow could not paste intructions but I think they were as follows....
Tag the person who tagged you and do the same???
LOL
1. My sister is my favorite person; I miss her.
2. I have a crazy "to-do" list system. Actually, it is the Jessica Simon-Mann system!!!
3. I don't eat anything off of a bone or out of a shell...yuk!
4. I really appreciate a great book...classic but will always be my favorite...To Kill A Mockingbird. Atticus Finch reminds me of one of my grandfathers.
5. I am TERRIFIED of snakes. I can't even look at them in a book or magazine...oh, they creep me out.
6. I feel so honored that friends have asked me to stand in their weddings and that I am a Godmother...what a compliment and privilege.
7. I love the sound of a child laughing; it is so genuine and beautiful.
8. I appreciate every friendship I have had or do have and all that it has offered.
9. I miss my dad and think of him daily.
10. I love pickled beets; there are some in my fridge now. My friend Matt thinks that is quite strange..."Keen! You have beets. Who eats beets?"
11. I REALLY want to learn how to knit....Ok, girlzzzz we been talkin' about it for a bit now...time to start!!!
12. I am THE BEST jukebox player...EVER....he he.
13. I have the same birthday as Willie Nelson and he was my first concert at age six on our birthday because I loved the song "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"...go figure?!?
14. I really don't like to discuss politics! I mean, really!!!!! Just because I was a Poli Sci major does not mean I want to talk to you about politics everytime we see each other; especially after cocktails...this part of the note is devoted to one person ;)
15. I heart Thriller and anything M.J.!
16. I love family functions/ holiday gatherings...especially that Erik got my mom to play beer pong on Easter. We have a good time.
17. There are no previous relationships that I regret; I feel as though I learned a bit more about myself as a result of each of them ending.
18. I am a big fan of a hand-written letter or note; the beauty has been lost in our current tech age and it is so sad. An email or text message can't compare.
19. I have met many celebrities via work and by far the coolest and most likely to make the list of people I would hang with is Billy Joel; man was he laid back and so "whatever" about life and cool to work with. He rode shotgun in a passenger van while his band followed in a limo! Kid Rock can kiss my ass...and his Coors Light
20. I have a super crush on Timothy Hutton and it all began with the movie Beautiful Girls.
21. I love sports! Someone in a house full of females had to be friends with my dad, right?!?
22. A rainy Sunday is the best!
23. I have a pink beach cruiser bike with a whate basket and a bell that says "I heart My Bike"
24. I love Sharpies..Write Out Loud!
25. I respect my mother; she is an amazing woman.

Timothy Hutton lived in my neighborhood while filming Everybody's All American. Debra Winger, his wife at the time, lived there too. When did you find time to do this!?

I watched To Kill A Mockingbird for the FIRST TIME during the Christmas holidays! Loved it. I liked Atticus but I really liked Scout. There are so many classic movies I have yet to see.

I want to learn how to knit, too. It seems very soothing. Good job Jen!

Let's start a knit club! That would be cool as long as alcohol is involved too!! I would like to learn how to knit!!
Katherine Elliott Creech at 7:18pm February 2
Good idea Kelly! We can learn to knit while slightly lit. HA HA HA
But I really do like that idea...
Jennifer Keen at 9:54pm February 2
knit/ cocktail club sounds perfect
