25 things about ME

(Karen McConnaughey) Permanent link

The latest craze on Facebook is telling friends "25 Random Things About Me." Those who complete the list of odds and ends about their lives and personalities then "tag" you to do the same thing. After you've completed your random list, you're supposed to "tag" others.

Well, I got 'tagged,' and at first I thought, "oh jeez...I don't want to do this!" But, being fairly narcissistic (is that a word?), I couldn't stop thinking about it. I (go figure) got obsessed with it. And, even though they were supposed to be quick, random thoughts, there's no way I couldn't put some thought into this. So whether you want to know about me or not, here it is...25 random, possibily inane, most likely boring, things about MOI!! I hope you enjoy. Feel free to leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.


1.I used to be very shy....VERY VERY shy! Now I've gone over to the darkside of assertiveness!
2.My guilty pleasure movie is Lake Placid.
3.Over my lifetime, I've lived in 2 cities, 2 countries, 8 houses and owned 2 cats and 13 dogs!
4.I pretty much ALWAYS say what I'm thinking.
5.I love to watch the HGTV and the Food channels.
6.I love to dance and sing; and regarding singing, what I lack in quality, I make up for in volume.:-D
7.I think "Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out."
8.I still miss my mother (passed away November 15, 1992.)
9.I love Bill more than I thought I could love anybody.
10. For me, roughing it is a Motel 8.
11. I love to laugh and I love the sound of laughter. One of my very favorite things about Bill is the fact that he laughs well and often, and he's not too macho to act silly!
12. I have seen someone die.
13. I feel that my life 'forked' in a very wonderful way, and I feel very, very blessed living in Lake Chapala, Mexico.
14. I believe the things people say to you have more to do with them than you.
15. I would like to be a size healthier.
16  I'm 63 and I still have a tendency to bite my fingernails. How lame is that???
17. I have not given birth to any children, but I am blessed with a wealth of nieces and nephews, wonderful siblings and stepchildren and grandchildren.
18. Two moments that took my breath away: I have a niece named after me, and another niece wore my wedding dress when she got married.
19. My favorite TV show is "24"...I love the unpredictabilty of it.
20. I am one of seven children...a blended, wonderful family that puts the 'fun' in dysfunctional! Two brothers passed away, so I am now the oldest.
21. I can be sarcastic and I'm trying to break myself of it. It's Bill's least favorite thing about me.
22. I think people who make fun of other people are lacking something in their own lives and the only way they can feel better is to put someone else down.
23. I love my job with Focus on Mexico. If I had written my perfect job description, this would be it.
24. I LOVE my friends and family, BUT I HATE emails that say if I truly care about someone, I will "pass this on."
25. I am an Internet junkie and love to order things online. Thank God I live in Mexico! :-D
