The first 10

I'm finally getting around to posting about my 40th birthday. It's only been four months...Sabra posted about her 30th recently and she'll turn 32 next month. We belong to the Better Late than Never Club.

Here is all that I got on my birthday:



I treasure it. Now, on to ten things about me. This list will cover the young years:

1. When I was born, my sis was 6 and my bros were 3, 2, and 1.

2. My younger sis was born 17 months later.

3. I have a wonderful mom.

4. I have a wonderful dad. He isn't living anymore though.

5. My favorite thing to do when I was little was read books, especially on warm days while lounging on my bed with my window open and the breeze blowing in.

6. I shared a room with my younger sis until I was 16 and my older sis got married.

7. My younger sis and I planned to marry David and Shawn Cassidy and live next door to each other and have babies at the same time. It didn't happen.

8. We liked to play secretary. We'd have our papers and phones and checkbooks set up on our "desks" and work for awhile. Then we'd take a lunch break and go to KFC for lunch. During lunch we'd talk about work issues, completely certain that everyone around us thought that we were real secretaries.

9. I despised cats and felt neutral about our dog. I once cut a photo of a squirrel out of a magazine and made a little habitat for him in a box. He was a good pet. There was a little plastic hamburger in his habitat.

10. Once when I got really mad at my younger sis, I bit her doll's foot. When she got really mad at me, she drew all over my new suitcase with my chapstick. We were preschool age.
