About
Why hello! How are you? Who are you? Oh. You’re here to figure out who I am. Well I suppose I could do the 100 things about me meme. But that’s just so overdone. And really you want to know about me? Well reading Mommadosey would be a great start.
What?
Not good enough?
OK.
1. I love to laugh, more than anything.
2. I am a politically moderate person who lives in a very, very conservative part of the United States. It is sometimes a problem.
3. When I was 15 I had dreams of being a conductor of a famous symphony. It would have fulfilled two major loves I had–music and bossing everybody around.
4. I am bossy. Very bossy.
5. In person I have a little problem with my edit button.
6. I like that about myself. Some others do not.
7. I am a mother, a darn good one, if I do say so myself.
8. I have trouble cussing on line. I feel like my Mother is going to pop out of my screen an smack my hand.
9. I have no trouble cussing while not on the computer. I have had to curb my cussing in front of the kids though. I realized this when my daughter at two said to me, “What the Hell?!”
**SMACK**
See?
10. I love to eat really, really good food not cooked by me.
11. I don’t like to cook.
12. I am a wife.
13. I actually like my husband. Some women run on and on about being in love with their husbands. But they never talk about liking them. I actually like mine.
14. I am not sentimental.
15. I think Valentine’s day is a stupid holiday invented by people who have been slacking off about showing their loved one’s how much they love them the rest of the year.
16. My children are better than yours are. Any questions?
17. When I was 12 I wanted to be a stewardess. I traveled a lot overseas when I was younger and to me that was a totally glamorous job.
18. When I was 19 I actually tried to become a stewardess. I did not get the job.
19. When I was 20 I returned to college and graduated. So thpthpthp to you stupid airlines!
20. I am a first generation American on my Mother’s side.
21. I am a 50-millionth generation American on my Father’s side.
22. Other than the United States, I have lived in Venezuela and Indonesia. Oil brat is the term they use for me.
23. I am obsessed with all things involved in houses–construction, architecture, decorating, you name it. I love it.
24. I am developing quite the photography habit. If you read Mommadosey for any length of time, you will be subjected to it. I apologize now.
25. I have another blog out there somewhere in the blogosphere. Maybe someday, if you’re really, really good, I’ll tell you what it is.
…to be continued.
After reading your “About” page, I think we could be really good friends. Guess we’ll have to be blogging friends, though, because I live in southern California, which does not have a reputation for being conservative.
