Now for the 10 honest things about ME!

  1. I have fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism which often leaves me feeling zapped.
  2. I went through college as a single mom of 3 boys in diapers while working full time and I have no idea how I accomplished it other than I have a wonderful family!
  3. I hate my picture taken so much I will stick my tongue out at the camera frequently (not so good my hubby is a photographer)
  4. I hate to pay someone to do something for me that I can learn to do myself.
  5. I used to hold a suit job and now yoga pants are my best friend.
  6. I am a momma BEAR the big bad growly kind, don’t mess with my kids!
  7. I love reading about the Amish and hope to go to Lancaster County someday unless someone can convince me there is a better location.
  8. I am scared to death of mice and snakes.  Kinda funny one eats the other huh?
  9. I find it challenging to eat out, taste a great dish and recreate it at home for much cheaper.
  10. I get lost in blogging.  I just  lose track of time, get distracted and enjoy meeting other bloggers.
