Bridget sent me a request on Facebook that asks me to list 25 things about me that people might not know. This makes me wonder if anyone (except Bridget) will actually care, but I thought I might as well go ahead and create the list even if it's just to see what comes up--since that is what my blog is about.
1. I was born in Cleveland, Ohio
2. I was adopted and moved to Toledo, Ohio when I was 3 days old. I lived there until I went to college.
3. I went to Ohio University and got a degree in English Lit. My senior thesis was on beat poets.
4. My first car was a light blue, 1971 VW Super Beetle.
5. The first thing I ever knew I was good at was swimming.
6. My best friends growing up were Nancy, Debbie, Rachel, Jill, Judy, Patty, Becky,and Margie--I keep in touch with all but one.
7. Even though I have two dogs and two cats, I'm much more a CAT than a DOG person.
8. My biggest accomplishment is raising children who I think are amazing people.
9. The most beautiful place I've ever been is Kauai, Hawaii.
10. My favorite things to do are write, hike, talk to good friends, and cook.
11. This year I gave up coffee and my daily glass of wine.
12. The most unexpected thing that ever happened to me was discovering I was one of eight siblings.
13. I know for certain that I'm German on my mother's side, and either Italian or Slovenian on my father's side.
14. I took piano lessons for years and to listen to me, you would never know I'd taken lessons at all.
15. My ideal vacation would be anywhere that's warm where I can scuba dive.
16. My biggest fear is being abandoned.
17. I meditate almost every day.
18. My biggest disappointment was never meeting my birth mother.
19. I'm learning how to bake bread from grains I sprout and mill myself.
20. My hair started turning grey when I was in my mid-twenties.
21. My primary goal this year is to finish my memoir and find a publisher
22. Before I die, I hope I visit Nepal and India
23. My ideal job would involve giving money away to people who would put it to good use.
24. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd wish my garage could clean itself.
25. If there's one thing I want, it's to be having more fun.

Italian? I can see that. Hmmm. Interesting list!
...Bridget
To me, you'll always be Italian.
Thanks for thinking that I'm amazing. I would enjoy if you made another list. It can only be of 10 things, but they all have to be about YOU... the real you, not all this "outside stuff" like where you were born and things. You know, more about YOU and what kind of person YOU are. The inside you :)... just a thought!
Great list!
#4 The Super Beetles were so cute!
#5 Where do you swim in Nevada County? Lakes? River?
#8 I agree that the kids are wonderful.
#13 I'm betting on Italian.
