Happy Reading:
1. My parents, as immigrants, came here with 3 small children and a pack of paperwork... fast foward to today and they are worth at least a million dollars working very blue collar factory jobs. Don't tell me that hard work doesn't pay off!
2. I graduated valedictorian from high school as well as college... graduated college in just 3.5 years which I consider an accomplishment.
3. I hand raised abandoned newborn kittens and loved the experience (still have 2 of them).
4. My hubby was my first and only boyfriend... actually my first official date... 15 years later and we are still going strong.
5. I have size 5 feet and am 5 feet tall... can't find shoes that fit too easily or pants that are short enough.
6. I lost my hair and gained a very active libido when I was pregnant with my second child. Why? No one knows. Today, my hair is back but my libido is gone.
7. I can be classified as legally blind when I don't wear my correctively lenses.
8. In high school, although I was the shortest, I was always on the bottom of the cheerleading pyramid because I had the most muscles. Most of the other girls were toothpicks and couldn't pick up much weight. Needless to say, our pyramids were always lopsided!
9. I love reading money articles or watching money shows - no matter how boring the actual subject might be.
10. I am a closet thrift store shopper... shhhh, don't tell anyone!
11. I don't have a creative bone in my body.
12. When I was younger, my dream was to go into outer space - doubt that will ever happen, but if the opportunity presents itself, I'll be the first to sign up.
13. I hate to run.
14. The only celebrities I have met are Wilfred Brimley and William Shatner.
15. People think I am smarter than I really am.
Not another list !! :)

What is William Shatner like up close? Is he tall or short. Is he nice or is he a nudge!

Mr. Brimley, on the other hand, was a super nice guy - I got his autograph.

You've got that right! I tell him that if he'll stop spending, I might give in more!

#1 i definately believe hard work pays off... i know a family (not mine, darn, lol) that came here as refugees after the vietnam war and had nothing... the worked hard and now are worth at least 1 million.
#5. i'm 5' tall too! and i hear you on the length but my feet are bigger than yours. i wear 6 1/2. maybe you should look into vintage shoes. Years ago i went to the garage sale where there were beautiful well-made european shoes for $1 each. The catch? they were too small... *sigh* i wanted those shoes. they belonged to a sweet older asian lady who had tiny feet.
#14. i don't think it was you. someone i know met him once and he wasn't nice to them either. blah.
#15. i'm with those that say don't underestimate yourself (which many of us do). you sound like a friend i had in high school... valedictorian and finished her degree similarly quickly. Going off that i say you're smart but modest. =)....
