Piece #13

We interrupt your national coverage of the recent Presidential Elections for this very important announcement:
I have a thing for husky men.
Oh yes, I do.  :)
If you ask any of my close friends what kind of guy is my “type”.  They’ll know the answer!   And, hopefully, they’ll know that there’s a difference between “husky” and “really obese”.
Now, I’m [...]

Piece #12

12.) I LOVE office supplies.

No seriously – I do. And this is not just some “I love Lamp” statement.
I may have mentioned my LOVE of all things office-supply related before. I love new notebooks, pens, pencils, staples, post-it flags…. you name it.
Hence – The grocery stores, convenience stores, superstores – are virtually filled [...]

100 Pieces – #11

11.) I go to Opening Day for the Detroit Tigers every year.
And I go with my fabulous friend Kathy – who makes the whole experience fun. She also looks after me to make sure that my food/adult beverage ratio is on the right track. Kathy also knows the city way [...]

Piece #10

10.) I went to Michigan State University.
 
And I am PROUD to be a Spartan!  Growing up in Michigan, I was vaguely aware of the rivalry between University of Michigan (UofM) and Michigan State University (MSU).  I really didn’t pick sides on the matter until I was a student at MSU. 
The deciding factors for me [...]

Number Nine

9.  I have an unnatural fear of raccoons.
It’s one of the few things that really, really scare me.   (That, and dying an old, lonely spinster with 27 cats.  But that’s a whole other post…)
Have you ever heard raccoons fighting?  They used to make these ungodly, demonic noises in the woods behind my house growing up.  [...]

Numero Ocho

8.) I visit Cape Cod just about every year.
I love vacations! But I guess that’s not too special about me. Everyone loves vacations, right? I just rolled up to my cottage in Cape Cod this morning. This is my third summer in a row here and I. LOVE. IT.
It’s not just [...]

piece #7

7.) I love Fireworks!!
Fourth of July is one of my all-time favorite holidays. The lights, the bangs! and Booms! I especially love the ones that look like giant chysanthemums whose thick, sparkling petals look like they are falling down right on top of you.
The closer I am; the louder and brighter they are- the [...]

Piece #6

6.) Growing up, I wanted to be a marine biologist.
I love the ocean. Coming from the East Coast – I spent many summer days at the beach. I always loved watching whales, and seeing the lobster traps that people collected. (Of course – I didn’t then realize that those were the animals we boiled alive [...]

piece #5

5. I am a popcorn addict. 
I could eat a bag a day – and never get tired of it.  I asked for a new popcorn popper for Christmas last year because I had just plain worn my old one out.  My mom didn’t realize that they still made popcorn poppers – what with the invention [...]

100 pieces – parts 1-4

I saw this on another blog and thought it was an interesting way to work on personalizing this site a little more.  She had a page where she was working on listing 100 little factoids about herself.
I’ll be creating a page to keep an archived list of these – but thought I’d throw a few [...]
