Some Random Facts About Me

Just for my blog for fun today....
1.) I am generally happy and positive by nature.
2.) I love to people watch, and make up stories about them.
3.) When I was a little girl, I pretended to be twins during a two-week vacation and had all the other resort patrons fooled.
4.) I always wanted to marry someone like my grandfather, and I did.
5.) I have a brother who is a Jesuit priest.
6.) My three children were adopted from Latin America, so I feel a strong spiritual connection to Latina women.
7.) I write with my left hand, and do everything else with my right.
8.) I make homemade spaghetti sauce every Monday, while listening to opera music.

I liked this blog! But it concerns me that Doug reminds you of your grandfather. Is it the nose hairs or the hacking up of phlegm in the mornings? :)

I thought it was the thinning hair and general air of distinction.

Soooooo, Doug has a distinct air about him? Did you try Right Guard? :P

Gotcha beat on the thinning hair, dude! I went right for the tonsure.
