I have accepted a challenge from my friend Angie (see her blog at http://www.iorganizeyou.blogspot.com/). I am listing 8 random thoughts about me and will then challenge four friends listed below to comment here on 3 random thoughts about themselves:
a. Terry W.
b. Merri
c. Laura
d. Karen
1. I had the worst complexion in the world from my pre-teen through high school years. I was popular before that but after that I was called "pimples." This was incredibly painful to my psyche and self-image. Makes me sick to even relate this now.
2. I always wanted to see the Great Pyramids of Giza (Egypt) before I died. We were there 11 years ago - although I'm glad I went, it was rather disappointing. Have no desire to go back.
3. From 1964 -1984, I had a best friend. Twenty years of a wonderful, close friendship even though she moved to the West Coast. Then something happened - I'm not sure either of us will ever understand what - but we then had NO CONTACT for the next 20 years. She reached out to me 3 years ago and we're now back in each others' lives. I wish I talked to her more and let her know how much I value our relationship. 4. I don't do housework. And I don't cook except by prior appointment and special request.
5. I always wanted to visit the Greek Isles. Did that also 11 years ago. They are heaven. I want to go back.
6. The best trip I ever took was to Italy (you know you're getting old when you can't remember when you went somewhere) - 9 days with a group of 29 friends on a wine and gourmet food excursion - Rome and south - the Amalfi coast is to die for - hope I get to go back.
7. Two things I always wanted to do - have never done them and probably never will:
i) sky diving
ii) snow skiing
8. All of the above exciting trips I've taken were when I was in health care management. I now own my own business. The current budget does not allow for such extravagance - glad I did it when I could.
Now I hope to hear from each of you that I've e-mailed . . . tag. You're it.
