A Little Bit About Me

Colett tagged me from her blog so these are my answers to the 32 questions of getting to know me better.


1. Do you like Blue Cheese? Like it in a salad dressing but not by itself

2. Have you ever smoked? When I was about 5 yrs. old, I found a cigarette butt that was still lit. Some guy had dropped it when he was working on the electric meter or something. I tried it and wondered what the big deal was. EEWWW

3. Do you own a gun? No, no desire at all to have one.

4. What do you think of hot dogs? I Love them covered with relish and onions. Costco's are the best but no mustard thank you.

5. Favorite Christmas movie? "Scrooge" starring George C. Scott and It's a Wonderful Life

6. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Milk or orange juice every morning

9. Do you have A.D.D.? No, I can get restless but can usually concentrate on what I'm doing for hours.

10. What's one trait you hate about yourself? I prefer not to "hate" anything but I don't like the fact that I can gain weight by sniffing food. I used to eat anything and never gain an ounce. Now, I have a pituitary tumor that makes it very hard to lose weight and then hard to keep weight off so it's a constant battle that I seem to be losing.

Personality trait: I am good natured. I feel it is a God given gift and not of my own making. I am easy going, happy and not too critical of anything except I can't stand mean people.
