Three Things About Me - Blog Hop Tuesday

This week, on TUESDAY, 7/14/09, the theme for the blog hop is THREE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME.

This was actually quite a bit harder than I thought it would be considering I generally write it down if I think it, so I had a hard time thinking of new things to tell. But finally a few came to me. Here they are, hope you enjoy!

One:

Hilarious isn't it? That's me at about 13. I took ballet and tap dancing for 3 or 4 years. I can't even walk without tripping over my own feet now - lot of good it did me!

Two:
I recently started my own cleaning company. It's not glamorous, but it pays well... and I get a workout in the process, at least that's my theory!

Three:
Hubby laughs at all the strange stories I have from my childhood. Such as the neighbors that blew themselves up making a pipe bomb, the boys across the street that got struck by lightening in their backyard while sitting on a picnic bench after swimming when a storm blew in unexpectedly, and the time we had to stand in the hallway because the man next door had a gun and was threatening to shoot his wife. -- I know it sounds like I grew up in the ghetto, but it was actually a decent subdivision neighborhood. I just have a horrible memory that only remembers all the terrible things that happened.

  15. Hi thanks for visiting my blog.

    Planning to do a post soon about getting started in digital scrapbooking. You were right, your message did not get through! Misty Cato has a great blog with lots of tutorials, and Ikea Goddess posts great freebies daily. I use Photoshop Elements 7 to do my scrapping.

    Post coming soon - I hope!
