I’m a “cradle Catholic” but I spent most of my adult life as a non-practicing Catholic.
Came back to the Church in 2001 and realized the importance of having the marriage blessed by a priest.
Guess I’m going to have to start that process again.
I have two stepkids and 5 step-grandkids.
The relationship with the kids isn’t so good now since the divorce.
I believe that having grandchildren is God’s reward for surviving your kids teenage years.
I always wanted to have at least 6 kids
I’ve had nine kids – the four legged kind.
Thankfully not all at the same time!
Since the divorce, I’m a single mom of two dogs.
I believe that God does answers prayers, just not always with the answer you were expecting or in the timeframe you were expecting!
Owning dogs has taught me that STBX and I didn’t have the same parenting beliefs.
It’s probably a good thing we didn’t have any two-legged kids together.
My first car was a 1974 Ford Pinto.
I learned what a distributor cap is because of that car. If the cap got wet, the car wouldn’t start. Many a morning I had to wipe out the cap before I could go anywhere.
My second car was a 1972 Pontiac Catalina that previously belonged to my father-in-law
Every car since then has been a Ford.
I drive a station wagon I lovingly refer to as The Dog Mobile.
Bought it specifically to cart the dogs around.
I spent my entire childhood living in the same house.
My parents still live in that house
I live 20 minutes away from where I grew up
I love NHRA drag racing.
I’m learning to love NASCAR
My favorite driver is Elliott Sadler – mostly because he crashed almost every week during his rookie season and was very honest about it being all his fault.
I don’t like Jeff Gordon. Never have. Never will. ‘Nuff said.
I started watcing NASCAR because of Dale Earnhardt, Sr.
My favorite NFL team is the San Francisco 49ers
I started rooting for them because of Joe Montana.
I’m very sad that they aren’t very good these days.
I listen to Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr., Barry Manilow, AC/DC, Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marty Stuart, Kenny Chesney, and Toby Keith
I can’t watch America’s Funniest Videos in public because I have a sick and twisted sense of humor. I laugh when people fall down or get hurt.
I broke my ankle once falling out of bed.
I broke my collar bone by crashing my bike into a parked car because I was checking out a cute guy.
The guy didn’t see it. (Thank heavens!)
I get my nails done very other week.
Usually a French manicure – nail polish makes my hands look really old.
I love getting a pedicure.
Favorite color for toes – something red!
I watch the “A Christmas Story” marathon every year on TBS
I want to visit the “A Christmas Story” House and Museum in Cleveland.
I’d like to learn the dance from the jail scene in “The Replacements”
I watch “The Money Pit” every time it’s on TV.
I recite the lines during the movie. Needless to say I watch the movie alone!
My favorite scene is when the bathtub falls through the floor and Tom Hanks laughs. I love that laugh.
I think the Clorox Ready Mop is the greatest invention of the 21st Century.
Every home with children or dogs should own at least one.
My biggest pet peeve is people who don’t return shopping carts to the cart corrals in the parking lot.
My second biggest pet peve is people talking on their cell phone while they are driving.
I don’t understand the sport of curling, but I love to watch it during the Winter Olympics.
I’m the fourth of six children.
I have two brothers and three sisters.
Our birthdays are either a day before or a day after a major holiday.
