FIVE THINGS YOU MANY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME.

Shelli Stevens tagged me for this one. I don't know if there's much you all don't know, but I'll try and come up with some without getting TOO personal.

1. I was a total choir geek in High School.
I wasn't just a choir geek, I was in EVERYTHING. I loved it. I even went on to major in Music Education for two years. I still love to sing and now my youngest is showing signs that he's got some serious talent.

2. I grew up in the Napa Valley.
I lived in Napa from the time I was two years old until I went to college at eighteen. My mom still lives there.














3. I didn't have kids until I was thirty-one.
I was married for seven years to my first husband and I really wanted kids. He really didn't want kids. ( I was young and dumb and thought I could change his mind. Der.) There were lots of reasons, but my ex and I parted company (amicably believe it or not) and a year later I met Joe. I had a list, guys. I kid you not. If a guy didn't match the list, I didn't date him. lol. Joe matched the list. Can you imagine my popularity with men when I'd pull out a piece of paper and ask "Do you want to have children?". LOL. Joe and I have been perfect for each other. We were married January 2000 and I got pregnant in Feb. Then 362 days later, I found out I was preggers with Paul. We got it done in a hurry.



















4. I like old movies.
OK, this may seem like a no-brainer, but there aren't too many people familiar with some of the stuff I love. "An Apartment For Peggy" for example. William Holden, Jeane Craine. "People Will Talk" Cary Grant. "The Mad Miss Manton" Barbara Stanwyck. "Since You Went Away" Claudette Coubert . "Fifth Avenue Girl" Ginger Rogers (without astaire). I really adore old movies. "Philidelphia Story" with Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart is awesome.





5. I vote at EVERY election.
Yeah, I'm a nerd. I do like my politics, though you won't read about them here. You'll have to experience me first hand to get that. Sunday mornings often find Joe and I watching "Meet The Press". So, I'm a consistent voter. Which means of course, I get called for Jury Duty all the freakin' time. I don't come across as all politically active or anything, but my Dad taught me the importance of going and voting. I hold it (and Jury Duty for that matter) as a duty. Something to pay back the gifts that I've been given: freedom, security, a voice in the process. Voting to me is like speaking. I'm given the ability to speak. I need to use it to talk. *shrugs* Okay, enough of the Patriotic stuff.

I'd love to hear five things from a few people. Kelly Vitalo, Stacy Holmes, Dayna Hart and Crystal. In Crystal's case she's going to have to dig deep for us I think. What don't we know about you?
