My darling friend
, Ashlee (who, by the way is helping me with a huge production of Joseph and the Amazing ....this spring. More about that later) tagged me for this "honesty post." I've thought about it for a few weeks trying to decide how much information I'm really willing to disclose. I finally came up with a list that I can share so here you go.
First of all, there are two parts to the tag. The first part is
Ten things that make me happy.
1. (A)Having all of my kids home at the same time... happens rarely so (B) Going to see my children and grandchildren. (C) A phone call especially when
Skyping is involved. I need to do it more.
2. A day without an alarm clock.
3. Unexpected money in the mail. But in reality, how often does that happen?
4. A clean house
5. Finishing everything on my "to do" list before I go to bed
6. Being told I look nice
7. A job well done
8. Starting the day with a brisk walk
9. Running in to an old friend
10. When I think of something nice to do for someone without waiting for an assignment
The next part is
Ten honest facts about myself

1. Sometimes I have too high an opinion of myself.
2. There are nights when dinner consists of chocolate cake or some other un-healthy option because I don't like fixing dinner for one.
3. I take so long to fix my hair in the morning, that often my bathroom is a disaster when I leave for work
4. I hate to empty the dishwasher. Sometimes days go by that I wash the dishes by hand just so I don't have to empty the dishwasher.
5. Although I do my laundry regularly, I don't like to fold it. Some weeks I take my clean clothes out of the basket for several days before I get around to folding it. (I've developed some bad habits since I've lived alone).
6. I can't click my fingers
7. I don't smile enough. I'm happier inside than I look on the outside.
8. I haven't read or watched any of the the Harry Potter or Twilight series nor do I intend to
9. Often when I clean the house, I turn the music in my house up full blast until the walls rattle.
10. I had dreams of being a Broadway dancer. Apparently I think I can dance way better than I really can.
Well, this is probably too much information but there you have it.
Debbie Whipple, this one is going out to you. Tag, you're it!
