Ten things about the woman behind the words
- Calling myself a woman and not a girl is intimidating.
- I've had a minimum wage job exactly once and for about five minutes. I quit and went on to something with a higher pay grade. I have worked a job for less than minimum wage. (See below.)
- When I was 13, my dad's company paid me 5 dollars an hour to spread straw for erosion control at their development site. I used that money to buy my own clothes, help pay for my driver's training fees, and pay for a missions trip to Mexico.
- I spent my 20th birthday in Las Vegas as the keynote speaker at an Allstate Convention.
- When I was being baptized, I slipped down the steps and shrieked. My friends told me they knew it was me because they saw my hair flying.
- When I was nine, I stepped on a horseshoe nail that was in the swamp. I used the resulting tetanus shot to climb as many barbed wire fences as I wanted throughout the rest of my childhood.
- I've never been thin and I never will be. I'm completely fine with that. I do, however, like being fit.
- I'm really not sure what color my eyes are. Someone tell me!
- When I was six, I wanted to grow up and be Scarlett O'Hara. Three husbands, et al.
- My girlhood dream was to be a flower girl. Since I never got to be one, I made sure to put lots of little girls in my wedding.
This is what I look like while blogging: ethereal with a gigantic nose
