12 Weird Random Things About Me!

This comes from another Blog tag/meme, which is great, because I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about today. So let’s just talk about me in this meme! Or should I say ME!ME!
My oldest son tells me I’m weird just about every day, so I thought this would be easy…I had to ask my hubby and best friend for ideas!
Please keep coming to my blog after you discover the weirdness of Kelly Polark…

1. My first ever writing published was in Us magazine (now titled Us Weekly). It was in the Reader Mailbag section-which they don’t even have anymore…the topic was Matthew McConaughey!
2. I was mistaken for a boy more than once in my tomboy youth.
3. I (and my two sons and dog) have a brief cameo in the Brides of Destruction music video, “White Trash.” I’m not white trash, but I play one on TV… (Look for us at around 1:55 and 3:34)

4. I don’t like onions, but I love onion rings.
5. When we were in junior high, my best friend and I were Vice-President and President of Student Council. A few times when we forgot to do our homework, we called a student council meeting to avoid going to class.
6. I received my only detention in high school for chewing gum three times in Spanish class. “Chiclet, Margarita!” My only excuse was there was a cute boy in my Spanish class, and I had to have fresh breath!
7. I hung a poster of Kip Winger in my dorm room and then in my room in the sorority house at college. I got teased mercilessly for it! When I was in junior high, my posters included Michael Jackson and Duran Duran.
8. My college roommate, Becky, and I once spent an afternoon talking with the squirrels and really thought they were communicating back to us (and no, we weren’t even drunk…yet, anyway).
9. My husband and I had a pretend puppy when we were first married, because we couldn’t have a real one yet in our apartment.
10. I manically check the Doppler Radar every few minutes during storms.
11. I sing along with the car radio at the top of my lungs.
12. I was the Homecoming Queen in high school, my sister was Prom Queen, and my Dad was Prom King (obviously not the same year ;0). We did not grow up in a palace, however.:0)

OTHER BIG NEWS: The Sixth Bi-Annual Biz-Over Event to Honor Chicago's 12 Most Powerful and Influential Women is being held tonight.
