Just thinking of 10 random things you might not know about me;
1. I am married and have 2 children, a daughter in law and the 2 greatest grandsons in the whole world.
2 I am lucky to have all my family, including 2 brothers and their families all together in one town. ( Love the big family gatherings)
3. I have always been creative. I have done cross stitch, dough art, painted arts and craft items for 7 years as a job, once made 300 green macrame' brooms for a Woman's Club sale(yes, they all sold) and now have a passion for scrapbooking
4. I am blessed to have many friends who are like a second family
5. Love to see what creative projects others do (I think you could give 10 people identical items and you would get 10 totally different results.
6. I love to travel
7. I have never met a chocolate I didn't like
8. One of my favorite places in the world is on my deck -swinging.
9. I love to meet new people and learn about them.
10. I have learned to enjoy normal. When you have experienced losses in your life, you come to realize that it is the normal everday things that you miss most. There is nothing wrong with a normal day.

I'm not afraid to try new things, but yet I'm afraid of heights and deep water.

Even though I live within walking distance to the beach, I'm afraid of deep water. I'm fine as long as I can touch the bottom. I don't like boats & tend to get "sea-sick" very quickly.

I love to spend time with my hubby, travel and try new place to eat. I hate getting on ladders, unless they are a step stool and not high!
A few things off the top of my head :
I've got a wicked (warped) sense of humor !
I'm a coke addict..diet coke that is !
I love onions! Could eat a skillet full of fried onions!
Patty 2832
I'm very organized...can't help it, chaos makes me crazy.
I wanted to share ten quick things about me.
1. I'm addicted to coke, regular cherry coke too, ugh.
2. I'm addicted to the Twilight series. Just say the movie twice in one weekend. Never done that before.
3. I have 4 kids but I look like I'm 18. I shock people when the kids call me mom.
4. My sister is a fiskateer and we love to check out blogs together.
5. I have a bad temper, which I am working on.
6. I can get my husband to go see Twilight the movie but not to change diapers.
7. I could eat a half of a large stuffed Chicago style pizza by myself. I wouldn't recommend it.
8. I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs. I don't have any interesting vices.
9. If it wasn't for my husband I would be on Oprah, trying to explain why I am so disorganized and living with piles of garbage.
10. I feel blessed to have all my family still with me. My parents, my siblings, my kids and my husband. I don't know what I would do without them.
I lost a hundred pounds in 2001, now I need to lose 15 that found their way back! I took adult swimming lessons 3 times and quit when they had to go to the "deep" end!

PS SandyH50 - Congratulations!!!! How'd you do it?
I love spending time with my family...even if it's at home...and I am super competitive and I love beating my husband at board games or any other type of game! I am not a sore loser...but I hate losing...who does, right?
Thanks for this...I liked having to think about myself for a change! :)
I did something similar last week. http://debbysdares.blogspot.com/2008/11/fiskars-friday-on-thursday_19.html
I love what you did. I was hard pressed to do 7 much less ten. I love the fact that your whole family lives in the same town.
I love spending time with my family. Even though we sometimes make each other crazy -- I still think it is the most fun.
I never met a chocolate I didn't like either! ;) My favorites...that I miss dearly since they are only available in Canada...are Purdy's. I always remember getting them at Yule...mint melties, and peanut butter bars, and hedgehogs! OHHHH soooooo yummy!!! :)
I love to travel. I would have loved to have been at the game today when our Columbus Crew won the 2008 MLS Cup Championship!! That's the Super Bowl of soccer!!!
I wish my health was better since I love adventure. I would love my 20 year old body back!!!
Sandy~Turtlelady #1715
#5 is so true. I think you gave me a great idea for my blog. I will do a post about some of the things that some people might not know about me. One thing I will share is that I have a terrible memory, so if I don't post the things on my blog, would someone remind me to do so?
A couple things about me that you may not know...I'm afraid of heights, and I'm 37 and have NEVER been drunk!
Im a Mountain Dew addict and chocolate addict!!!
I get car sick on long trips so I have to "drug" myself so I sleep (its all legal) lol
Hmmm....random. I grew up being called "Betsy Blue" and was given everything blue, I really LOVED the color pink though (but my sister got everything pink (cause she was "Peggy Pink" she was also tom boy and I was girly girl)
Ohhh wow! So many afraid of deep wayer! Lets see if i can think of 10 things about me - without my best friend doing her 10 things about Bee list..lol
1. I have a phobia of spiders never mind as a child always riding my bike over any spider I saw, now I believe its bad luck to kill them!
2. My best friend's family owns a circus, I can get free tickets i just have to ask, however Im scared of clowns.
3. I was borderline for a kidney transplant growing up but out grew it when I was 12.
4. My cousin in law John Walker - was a gold medal olympic runner for NZ.
5. I have an angel baby.
6. I was Sir Roger More's waitress one night when he was in NZ vistings...(longest running James Bond actor)
7. Im left handed! We are like an alien breed or something and you get excited when you see a fallow leftie - im not the only leftie at my work i feel special :p
8. I was in the paper for debating teachers striking for more money and setting bad examples to students who were trying to get an education so we had something to get a job with!
9. I have never broken a bone or had surgery - yet. I have norrowly missed having to have all of those.
10. My car is called "Maxine" and she is my baby...everyone who knows me well refers to her by her name...and not as your car or my car..its Maxine...
Just for the fun of it here is one last one -
11. Everytime I here the song Maxine...I love singing it to my close friend Max whom I use to work with..
What a great idea!
1. Im almost 40, most people think Im much younger.
2. I have been doing pencil drawnings since I was really young. I also love to paint.
3. I used to race on the USA junior olympics ski team.
4. In HS I was one of the top 10 fastest softball pitchers in the state of NV.
5. I love my glue gun. Anything I can craft using my glue gun Im in love with.
6. Im scared of heights. I cant stand anywhere near the edge of a cliff.
7. I think my fear of heights is from the result of my dad falling off a 2 story balcony when I was 6. He is now paralized as a result of that fall.
8. I love all animals.
9. My favorite season is winter. I love the snow.
10. I am also afraid of water that I cant see the bottom of. I think I have seen too many scary movies.
11. That just reminded me of one more thing to add. I refuse to watch bloody scary movies. I will only watch movies that make me feel good/happy.
