7 "interesting" things about me:

Ok Carissa! I think I did this somewhere else, but not here....

7 "interesting" things about me:

1. I'm named after Amy (from the book 'Little Women') because mom said she always wanted a little blonde haired, blue eyed girl...go figure... and Michelle from the Beatles song (my parents thought real long & hard with me..didnt they ;)

2. When I was a little girl I wanted to be a cowboy (not a cowgirl...they dont get to ride the horses) so I grew up and much to the anxiety of my family, I bred, foaled, broke & trained race horses ..I worked with horses in some form or fashion (including private lessons to others) for 16 yrs.

3. I worked on the Paddleboat in Fredericksburg for 5yrs..probably one of the coolest things I ever did! I worked on the engines (yes, I know some about diesel engines) and frequently drove the boat during cruises as well as dealing with lines, customers and keeping the food prep and kitchen issues in order. They jokingly called me the 1st mate..hee

4. Ive always owned a dog and cat until recently (this is my 1st time since childhood being without any pets) but also have had 2 snakes and a ferret!

5. I own a motorcycle and have been to bike week. I swear one of these days I'm going to surprise you all at an MNO with it ;)

6.I lived in California for a yr . (sorry for those CA folks..it was the most miserable year of my life)

7. I love to sing and you can sometimes catch me while I'm driving with the radio off singing some old favorites...used to be me at the top of my voice level singing while I cleaned horse stalls at the barn..I sang at my wedding (just the reception..my hubby and our DJ were both karoake DJs together ..thats how I first met him) so he dragged me up to sing. Yes, there is picture proof of me in my dress, mike in hand (lol)
