16 Things About Me



Callie...uninterested in learning anything new about me...

1. I've been collecting my favorite quotations since 1998.
2. I LOVE to read magazines
3. and young adult and children's literature.
4. In college, I had to go to the ER twice--both because of bike wrecks.
5. I like to eat breakfast food first thing no matter when I get up
6. I have no sense of direction.
7. I wish they still played Square One on public television
8. I met my husband at boy scout camp (he was a staff member)
9. Mopping is my least favorite chore
10. I made the blanket in that picture.
11. I've had short hair since 1998, and I can't imagine ever growing it out.
12. I want to learn to speak spanish
13. I consider myself a "formerly shy" person but I can still be pretty darn shy in some situations (I'd rather speak in front of a large group than try to mingle afterward)
14. When I was little, I told my parents I wanted to be as tall as Danny Manning, a 6'11" KU basketball player. I'm glad that didn't actually happen.
15. I check my email all the time
16. I love getting rid of stuff, and I think donating good stuff to the thrift stores gives me good thrift-store karma

Enjoyed your list. Yes, and the cute pic of Callie too! How interesting to collect favorite quotations, what an inspiration they must be. Do you keep them in a scrapbook or journal of some sort, to page through?

Thanks Joanne!

I get blank (unlined) books and write one quotation per page along with the month and year I found it. So it actually ends up reading kind of like a journal (depending one what quotations appealed to me at what points in my life), and they're really fun to look through (I'm on my fourth book now).
