Random facts about me

Facebook had a thing where you post random facts about yourself and I thought it would be a good thing to blog, too.
1.  I am short (no new news there). Our bed is tall.  I have a stool on my side.
2.  I'm an awful speller.  I love spell check and google.  Luckily I can tell if I have misspelled the word, I just can't spell it.  I love it when google "says" Do you mean?  Sometimes I misspell the word so badly I have to try again, google doesn't even know. Sometimes I change what I am going to write if I don't know how to spell the word.
3.  I have had Shoop twice as long as any other last name in my life. My mom changed our last names whenever she did.  I was born with Mattson.  When my mom got re-married when I was 7 or 8, it changed to Blakley. Then she got divorced and went to her maiden name and so did we.. Bilow. Then when I was 10 she got re-married and her husband adopted us and my name went to Richardson.  I've been married and happily been a Shoop for over 21 years.
4.  I like to re arrange my living room.  The problem is there is only so many ways it can go.
5.  I can't stand to have my hair the same way for very long. I like to try different things.  Some are better than others..
6.  I didn't see my dad from the time I was 7 until I found him when I was 22.  It is one of my best memories of when I was reunited with him and the rest of his family.
7.  I met Ray when I was at college.  I went to college with a boyfriend... Ray lived a couple of doors down from my boyfriend. Ray was a stalker.  :) He waited patiently.  After we broke up, he would say Hi to me all of the time.  I felt bad that I didn't know his name and had to ask around to find out.
8.  The first time Ray asked me out, he baked me chocolate chip cookies.  He put word strips in them to ask me.  We went bowling with a group of people.  He still makes excellent choc. chip cookies and likes to go bowling.
