Love your list! I'm surprised at how many things I thought about you are accurate! :)
I don't know 48 things about myself..lol..but I'll work on it!
Hugs!
Thanks for sharing your 48 things about yourself. I feel like I know you a little better. Sounds like you've had a great and interesting life so far. You are one of the few it seems that have been married more than 10 years. We have our 20th anniversary next year. I'll try the 48, but it may be a while before I post. That is a lot of things to list.
What a neat posting--an "About Me" list. Reminiscent of a First-Step list, also of a song "Getting to Know You" from KING AND I (1951). Thank you SO much.
I have a Top-Ten Favorite People List--since blogging here, I'm needing to expand it to a Top-TWENTY List! You're on that one for sure!

"I walk fast, talk fast, think fast". You must be my twin.
I loved reading that. I thought you wrote "I eat the dogs old food", I had to re-read it twice :)
HEY...I walk talk and think fast too!
Guys used to always say they wanted to see me behind a lawn mower because of my walking pace.
I have a 39 things about me post, I may have to think of some new stuff.
Good Lord, Lou! Have you lost your mind?! I'm not sure that I can come up with 20 things about me. ROFLOL I'm pretty boring by comparison. :0P
You have had a very colorful life! How cool! I'll start working on it but I don't know how long it will take.
Love ya!

You guys are just being silly now.
Why don't you ladies put on your reading glasses.
And Toots, how in the hell can I email you?
What an interesting person you are! I had an 88 things about me blog, but I took it down. If you're interested, I will send you a link.
Very cool.
I need to do this to.
If I can find the time today.
Oh my. You are fantastic weatlh of experience and personality, and... I think I love you.
I cannot believe you run in the woods and are not scared. I'm the person who checks under and in my car at night in a wide open parking lot...
And that you have worked in the same place for 24 years and know that you are where you belong, what a fabulous gift.

this is so cool...and so are you! Such interesting tidbits of you and your life.
You inspired me to do my own list. It was cathartic and very confessional.
Thanx for the inspiration, beautiful lady!
I'm glad Big Jenn wrote a list that led to yours, it's great getting to know more about friends!
