1. My grandmother and both my children were adopted. When she first held my son she cried and said that his life would be nothing like hers. (Things changed between 1905 and 1979!)
2. Met my husband on a blind date when I was 16 and he was 18. We married 3 years later - 38 years ago.
3. I have taught school for 34 years and would love to retire, but ... not yet.
4. I am a music teacher and have taught 30 or so years of children how to sing the states of the US in alphabetical order - from Alabama - Wyoming. I have heard many funny stories about where this "talent" has led for some of them.
5. I stay up way too late for someone who has to get up and go to work in the morning.
6. I spend too much time playing on the computer - including on this board.
7. I read every night before I fall asleep. Sometimes I get caught up in the story and stay up even later than "way too late". Sometimes I read 1/2 a page and my husband has to turn off the lamp and put away my book.
8. I am diabetic, wear an insulin pump, and STILL have trouble resisting things I know I shouldn't eat.
9. When I find something I like I prefer to buy several. If I find comfortable shoes - I'd like one in every color they make. Then I wear those until they fall apart.
10. I must be very boring cause it was a struggle to come up with 10 things!
