Stuff about me you MAY not have known!!

I lifted this from Jenni, mother of 12 (yes I said TWELVE) over at One Thing

I know it is making it's rounds in blogosphere...but up until now I haven't felt like playing along.

I don't have any scrap book pages to share with you and I am still working on those photo water colours a la Photoshop that I promised (tomorrow? or Saturday since I am at work the next two days)

So since this was really easy and fast for today's post I succumbed. If you like it, please feel free to copy on to your blog. Then let me know (like leave a comment!!) so I can come on over and learn a little more about you.

Just boldface the items that you HAVE done, and leave the rest normal….and remove my commentary...

Things I have or have not done. Some I have no desire to do... like kill and gut an animal.
