11.      I am an old married lady – but I am happily married!  So lonely men who think I am a lonely housewife looking for attention QUIT IMing ME! My use of IM is for family and friends….not pervs.  Sheesh!

12.      I have only been married once –  Sucker!  HA!  Way to take one for the team StudHombre!!   You are brave!  Or very very foolish…..

13.      I am the oldest of 3 daughters – Poor Dad.  My two sisters still live very near my parents.  I am redikkerously close to my youngest sister.  I am 13 years older than her.  You should visit her.  La

14.      I have 27 first cousins on my dad’s side – That’s a lot huh!  I love em’ all!!  I didn’t get to see them often enough when I was close to them and now that I am so far away…..*sigh*   Thank goodness for e.mail and IM and Spaces!  Visit one of my cousins here: Computer Guy and here Sada

15.      I have 10 first cousins on my mom’s side – Not as many but love em’ just as much!  My daughter named for one of these cousins.  You know who you are!

16.      We all still keep in touch – Thank goodness or life here in H-town would be very very lonely.  I miss the real live contact but I love hearing from them via phone and e.mail.  DO ya hear that?  You don’t want me to be all depresstified?  Send me e.mail!  Call me! 

6.      I have 2 tattoos – These consist of a teal green colored fish and a carton of milk and wedge of cheese.  The fish was a drawing taken off a pyramid in Mexico.   A little shout out to my heritage.  It’s on my back between my shoulder and neck.  My other tattoo is of Milk and Cheese.  Two comic character I hold near and dear to my widdle black heart.  They are on the back of my head.  Which now that I am a grown up is covered in hair.  No more shaved head for me. 

7.      I have never been on a plane - this may change here soon.  If fate smiles on us and MIL can find a decent fare we will go visit my in-laws.  They live in Paradise.  Hawaii baby!   Okay now for the honest truth.  I have an irrational fear or flying over the water.  I better have some serious sedatives.......

8.      When I was a kid I had a Labrador named Bubbles – loved loved loved this dog.  She was a bird dog.  Dad had her all trained up to hunt.  And hunt she did.  For me she was a pet.  When we moved to Wyoming she was stolen from us.  And to whoever took her – If I ever find you – I’ll make you PAY!

9.      Bubbles had puppies and I got to keep one so I named it Yoda – Yoda was a great dog.  A bit of a pain but a great dog.  Also a trained bird dog.  Eventually we took Yoda to live on the Ranch with my grandparents in NE.  He lived very happily there for a number of years until he decided one day to pack his bags and move across the fields to Aunt Sophie’s place.  She was my granny’s sister.  Yoda lived with Sophie for a time, being spoiled, until he died of old age. 

10.      I really really really liked Star Wars as a kid – How I grew up and did not become a total geek I don’t know.  But l LIVED for Star Wars back in the day.  I had the Chewbacca socks.  I had a Darth Vader cake.  I had the toys and the t-shirt.  Oh yeah.  Naturally Yoda was my favorite.  Thus I named a dog after him.
