It's hard to believe that it's been two years since I started blogging. Last year,
I spent a lot of time and calculated how many posts, comments, mentions, etc that I'd done. Well, sorry folks, I don't have time for that these days. Instead I thought I would fill you in on the one thing that gets blogged about the least -- me! Kind of ironic, huh? Here are 50 {if I can come up with that many} random facts about yours truly.
1. When people send these types of forwards out, my name is almost always next to the phrase "person least likely to fill this out."
2. I check my email first thing every morning...kind of like reading the newspaper for some people. Notice I said "check" and not necessarily respond.
3. I slept with my baby blanket until I was a sophomore in college {when it was almost torn to shreds} and then switched to the teddy bear that I sleep with now.
4. I have one of our credit card numbers memorized.
5. I have a secret addiction to online shopping. Shhh, don't tell David.
6. My first major in college was business....because I was good at math and liked the professional looking clothes at Ann Taylor. No joke.
7. I was in a sorority in college.
8. By second semester of my senior year, number 7 wasn't true anymore.
9. I am
dying to go to Sea World.
10. I can watch a movie and completely forget pretty much everything about it two weeks later.

bake than
cook.

15. My favorite nail color is Passion by OPI.

18. And, my husband and daughter aren't too shabby either.
19. My best round of 9-hole golf was a one under par, 35, at Seymour Elks.
20. I have at least five different email addresses, but only use two. One is the most complicated and still uses my maiden name.
21. I have a secret love affair with karaoke. {But, you knew that already.}
22. If we ever get another dog, I want it to be a Great Dane.

*I've tried a few times to link the youtube clip and it's giving me problems. If you want to see it, search "Brother and Sister Dental Odyssey" on youtube and it should show up. It's actually quite funny.
Happy Blog Birthday from the Central Coast!
