30 Day Blog Challenge / Day 23 / 20 Facts

Today's 30 Day Blog Challenge assignment is to list 20 facts about myself that you may not know. 

 1.  I am afraid of deep water.
 2.  Because of fact 1, I cannot swim.
 3.  I think the best vacation for anyone is to go to Disney World.  If I could afford it, I would go every year.  As it stands now, I have only been there three times.
 4.  I am 57 years old and have only lived in two houses in my whole life.
 5.  I have lived in the same town my whole life.
 6.  I love photography.
 7.  I am a contributing writer for the website The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans.
 8.  I work best under pressure.
 9.  I fell in love and married my high school sweetheart.  He is the only man I have ever loved.  We have been together for 41 years.
10. If I could have a pet again, it would be another golden retriever.  I loved our dog Jack so much. 
11. If you are my family or friend, I will fight to the death for you.  You can mess with me, but don't mess with my people.
12. I entered my first photography contest.  I didn't win any ribbons, but I tried and I'm proud of that.
13. I work at a preschool and I love it.  I have no plans to retire.
14. After numerous attempts to like it, I have decided that I hate running.  I will not be trying it again.
15. I love to read.  My goal for 2012 is no less than a book a week.
16. Although I love to blog and be on Facebook and Twitter, I am not technologically inclined.  I don't have an ipad or Nook or Kindle or any of the other things that are so popular right now.  I just got my first laptop (used) at Christmas this year from my nephew.
17. I have three beautiful grand kids.  If you visit here at all, you have seen them.
18. I have met James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Dom Deluise, Ali Vincent and Allison Sweeney.  I even got to interview Ali Vincent for the Sisterhood.
19. I enjoy walking and hiking.
20. I have four beautiful daughters that I was once accused of making on a Xerox machine.  They look that much alike.

Those are my 20 facts.  Sorry they couldn't be more interesting.

    I can't even count the number of houses I have lived in my whole life. I should try, though. It would be A LOT.

  5. I LOVE your life. God has truly blessed you. I got a new book for Christmas that sits beside my bed and I have only read 1 chapter. I need to turn off the t.v. and finish it. And you do have a beautiful family.

  6. Your FACTS are incredibly interesting and perfect! They are why so many people love you! Your family is beyond beautiful. I love your protectiveness. I am like that, too. That's another reason I love you! Like Lissa, I'm not sure I can count the houses I've lived in... especially because my Dad was in the Navy and my family followed him everywhere he was stationed. You've met some awesome people and your writing is wonderful! Love you, dear friend! xo!
