Getting to Know Your Weenie

Boogie ShoesA few things you may not know about IleenieWeenie…

  1. I suffer from emetaphobia (irrational fear of vomit). More than once I’ve spent the night in my car in the driveway when my husband’s had a stomach bug.
  2. One summer I took graphic design courses in Switzerland with the guy who designed the IBM logo.
  3. I was a ski bum in Vail, Colorado for three years.
  4. I won 1st place in the 6th grade science fair with an experiment involving human teeth.
  5. My parents almost named me Samantha, but my mom was worried that if I had a lisp I’d be Thamantha Markowithz.
  6. I was Junior class president of my high school.
  7. I once tread water for seven hours straight for a contest at summer camp. (I won)
  8. I don’t eat meat that walks on land, and I don’t like vegetables.
  9. I kept a pair of rhinestone dance shoes in the trunk of my car for nearly 10 years. (because you just never know)
  10. One of the best meals of my life was Long John Silver’s takeout, and I wasn’t even stoned.

** Mr. Weenie thinks I should add that I’ve never seen “The Outlaw Josey Wales.”
