Things You Didn't Care to Know About Me

On my Twitter journey I  recently met Eric @Trimon who introduced me to his wife Pamela's blog. Pamela is a real writer with real talent and she is hysterically funny. She is brutally honest and transparent, shares her life warts and all. I love reading her adventures and sometimes misadventures. I really hope you check out her blog, especially if you love good grammar, a great story teller and a funny story.

Sweet Eric tweeted Pam's blog today and this post was hysterical. At the very bottom I noticed she challenged me to repost it.

So here I am, sharing 11 things You Don't Care to Know About Me

Pam asked:

1. Who was your favorite teacher and why?

Mr.Roswell a great English teacher who put up with some of my shenanigans. Also, Mr.Fawley whose love of history inspired me.

2. What were your sports of choice when you were younger? I just wanted to be a gymnast like Nadia or a ice skater like Dorothy Hamill.

3. What did you want to be when you grew up?

A history teacher like Mr.Fawley

4. What profession did you ultimately end up in and why?

I still haven't figured that out. I am currently teaching history,math, science and other things to my children. I am currently thinking about my future career.

5. What is the single most important thing you think parents should teach their children?

To love others as they love themselves. To be polite, honest, respectful and contributing members of society.

6. When you run, what is the one thing your mind turns to the most often?

I end up praying. " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and then I pray for other people. Because if I think of myself, I end up saying " God please don't let me die running."

7. What is your favorite book and how many times have you read it?

I tend to have a photographic memory when it comes to books. It's almost as if I memorize them in chunks. So its really boring for me to re-read them. I recently decided to force my children to listen to me read them my favorite book of all time, Anne of Green Gables. I highly identify with Anne.

8. If you could only pick one movie to watch for the rest of your life what would it be?

This question has me in a panic. One? I have to pick one? Anne of Green Gables for the win. It was a toss up between that and the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. I better quit now....Grease would be next!

9. Are you more comfortable in the city or the country?

I'm a bit of both so I say the suburbs

10. If you had the option of spending three months of the year in another place, where would you choose?

England

11. What is your all time favorite museum to visit?

National Museum of American History. I could live in that place.
