Three LKJF's

After watching American Idol this week, I was inspired...

Before each person took to the stage to do their thing, a clip was aired where they shared one thing about themselves that people probably didn't know...

I could easily give you thirty little known Jackie facts, or LKJF's, but instead will shorten it by 27...

1) I cannot hear a patriotic song without crying.

It always makes for a good time when at a sporting event or other otherwise fun outing...

Everyone is in a good mood and are raring to have fun...

That's usually around the time that the Star Spangled Banner begins...

I try to think of anything else to take my mind off of the lump in my throat...

but it never works...

Total waterworks...

Every... time...

Soooo embarrassing...

2) I secretly (or not so secretly now) desire to be a professional singer...

One small, yet insurmountable problem....

When God was passing out vocal talent...

I was standing in line for cooking talent...

because I thought they were giving away free samples...

I still enjoy singing though...

just not for money...

which is a good thing, because I would give new meaning to "starving artist"

3) When I was 8 or 9, I secretly wished I had a mysterious illness

(a totally curable one, of course)

so that Dr. Joe Gannon of my favorite show at the time "Medical Center"

could cure me...

I had even thought that if he couldn't figure it out, I might suggest he give Dr. Steve Kiley from "Marcus Welby" a call and perhaps he would do a consult...

They were the Dr. McDreamy's of the 60's & 70's...

and I had a fever for both of them...

What little known facts about you are you willing to share with me?
