Homeschool Memoirs #10: 10 Timely Facts

Posted in HomeSchool Memoirs

THEME

The time will be changing again. I think on Sunday but not sure. Anyhow this is our 10th Homeschool Memoirs so this week it’s going to be about 10 timely facts about you! Write 10 interesting, crazy, weird, fun facts about you! Include facts about you as a woman, a wife, a mommy, a homeschooler, a homekeeper, a taxi-driver, a cook, etc . I only put 10 facts because I didn’t want to overwhelm you, but you’re welcome to do more!

1.  I am the oldest of 3.  I have two younger brothers, who are way taller than me (6'5", 6'2 and I am 5'7")

2.  I cheated in Math Class ~ Kindergarten!

3.  I hate June Bugs!

4.  My favorite meal is Baked Ham with pineapple sauce

5.  My husband tells me I am old ~ I am six months older than him!  LOL!

6.  I "balk tackwards" (talk backwards).  Quite often my words will come out backwards, which is quite funny for others.

7.  I have always wanted a small dog ~ and I finally got one this fall ~ she is part Yorkie and part Shih-tzu

8.  I have been wearing glasses since I was 5.  I used to walk into buildings and fall down going UP hills.

9.  I love to do most all crafts ~ knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, scrapbooking

10.  I have driven across Canada, been to South Carolina, and won a trip to Jamaica.  That is the extent of my travels.

11.  I just started drinking coffee a few years ago ~ after my husband trying to get me too after 12 years!!!!!

12.  I love spearmint leaves ~ the candy

13.  I have never been downhill skiing.  Just the thought of it terrifies me!!!!

14.  I love the movie Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth)

15.  I just got my Christmas Present, early ~ A Cricut!!!!!!

16.  I have a picture hanging on my wall that I absolutely love!  It says:  "Sometimes God calms the storm...Sometimes He lets the storm rage and calms His child."

17.  I am not a very outgoing person ~ I tend to be rather shy until I get to know someone better

18.  My favorite television show is Extreme Makeover: Home Edition ~ I cry through every one of them

Hmmmm, I guess I went over.  But, hey, I was on a role so I thought I would write until I couldn't think of anything else!  LOL!

I balk tackwards too, and so does my Dad. We have so much fun doing it that some of the new phrases we've stumbled on have replaced the correct terms. For instance, we almost always drink "boot reer" instead of root beer. LOL

Great list - I enjoyed reading!

I loved your post. Thanks for posting it.
I am 5'7", and finding out what it means to be `short`.
I was always the tallest in school, now 2 of my boys & their Dad are taller than me. :) We have 3 boys.
Hmmm...I wonder if I cheated in Kindergarten. LOL
I wouldn't doubt it. My mom tells me I tried to boss the Principal. :)
My Dad is 3 months older than my Mom. They are both 79.
Uh, I can't understand `Pig Latin`. I wonder if I can understand `balk tackwards`?
I love a challenge, but I think I would be terrified skiing downhill.
One of my favorite t.v. shows is: `Extreme Makeover: Home Edition` (and, yes, I cry)
(that is when I watch t.v.)

Ok, what is a `cricut`?

I like the new look of your blog.
Very good picture of you.
Blessings,
Michelle
