I've been tagged, and tagged, and tagged!



Everyone knows what a chain letter is.  I was always the one to break the chain and I'm still here to tell about it.  Now we have a chain blog posting...lol.  I was trying to ignore it but since I have now be tagged by 3 different people, I'll just bite the bullet and do it.  This chain blog entry is a list of 10 things about ME.

1.  I am 52 years old...shut your mouth now.  I know I don't look it!  lol 

2.  I became a wife when I was 18, a mother at 19, and a single-mother at age 20.

3.  I have a daughter who is 33 years old and lives in Raleigh/Durham, NC. (she weighted 10 1/2 lbs when she was born.)

4.  In my lifetime I have lived in a number of different places. As a child I lived in Portsmouth, VA, Hawaii, and I grew up in Fort Smith, AR. I left Fort Smith when I was 23 and moved to Wichita, KS. I later moved to Boston, MA, Manchester, NH, and then finally Atlanta, GA where I have lived for past 15 years.
 
5.  I worked in telecommunications for 23 years. 
 
6.  I have a boyfriend who is also my best friend Colin, and 2 wonderful dogs.  Charley is a black lab mix and Emma is a Saluki or Afghan mix.
 
7.  My daughter makes jewelry and set me up with tools and supplies for my 50th birthday.  I have been creating jewelry steadily ever since.
 
8.  If I have a boo boo I wear Hello Kitty band-aids.
 
9.  I'm a good cook, but I don't like to cook, so I don't.  Colin buys all the groceries and fixes all our meals.  I will put pop-tarts in the toaster but that's about it.
 
10.  My mother was around 5"10" tall, my dad is around 6'1", and I'm 5'3".

Everybody I know has already been tagged, so the chain blog post ends here.
