1. I was born on December 25.
2. Yup, I was a Christmas baby.
3. And yes, I probably did mess up my mom’s holiday.
4. My dad had to borrow money from my Poppy to pay the bill so they could take me home.
5. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York
6. My mom had 7 brothers and sisters so holidays were always fun.I miss that. Only one is still with us.
7. My mom was 44 when she had me, and I always wanted my children young.
8. And I succeeded with that plan. Not much else, but that one happened according to my plan.
9. I had long, long hair when I entered kindergarten, but then my mom got it all cut off. I think my Nanny about croaked.
10. I had short hair from that point on until I started growing it long in 1990 in obedience to the Lord. It’s now longer than my thighs.
11 I only have one older brother.
12. Both of my parents are deceased.
13. I completed all graduation requirements a semester early and just hung around taking electives so I could graduate with my class in high school.

21. I have even paid an outrageous amount to get them shipped to me. Well worth it.
22. I joined the Army on a dare.
23. I was told I would never make it through basic training. Shrug. So there I went.
24. I spent the next 5 years in the military as a Military Police Officer, and then a Corrections Officer.
25. I have no regrets about giving those years of service to my country, the only regret I have is that we should have stayed 20 to retire.
26. I met my husband in Virginia.
27. Our first meeting was right after my arrival at my first duty station, he was the sergeant who woke me up at 1130 pm to wax the hallway floor. {eyeroll}
28. We retrained and asked that we NOT be sent to Kansas.
29. Yup, they sent us to Kansas.
30. That was the first tangible thing I could see God did for us. We both came to know the Lord in Kansas – where we met a brother in Christ who witnessed to us. God knew what He was doing and what was best for our lives.
31. My husband, kids and I were all born in a different state. *
32. Although both boys were born in the same city. *

49. Really, just ask my kids.
50. I didn’t get my drivers license until I was 18.
51. Hey, no need! I just took the subway.
52. I learned how to drive a stick on a Mash look alike green Army jeep.

55. I didn’t get on the internet until about the year 2000.
56. I have never broken a bone.

73. I need to exercise more,
74. And eat less.
75. My favorite candy is Jujubes.
76. I also am a coffee drinker.
77. But it must have French Vanilla SF creamer in it.
78. I am not too shabby when it comes to organizing.
79. It’s just hard for me to part with things I “think” I might need.
80. I do not have a middle name.
81. I did not know this until I actually-- really looked at my birth certificate in 2007.
82. My middle name was apparently given to me when my parents baptized me as an infant in the Catholic church.
83. I have since changed religions or beliefs.
