15 Things

This blog will be a series of lists and the lists will be about anything and everything...thoughts, dreams, memories, "to dos" or simply the fourteen things I need to buy at Carrefour this week.

Why lists you ask? The answer is simple. Who doesn't love a list? They're orderly, typically concise, help us to organize our daily lives, etc., etc. And let's face it, lists are just plain intriguing and fun. How many of us have stayed up way longer than we needed just to watch Dave's Top 10 List? Or admit it, posted "15 Random Things About Me" on Facebook.

Speaking of which, I have yet to publish my list of 15 things. So we'll kick this blog off with 15 random (or maybe not so random) things about me...

1. My very first memory is of flying kites with my Daddy.

2. I only own one pair of jeans.

3. I've been pregnant six times in my life and given birth once.

4. The electric blanket is one of my favorite inventions.

5. I loathe cooking.

6. I will always choose a white cake with white butter cream icing. And I always want the corner.

7. I've had four broken bones, but never any stitches.

8. The first concert I ever went to was Neil Diamond. I was nine.

10. I love Lucky Charms, but I'll only eat them dry...never with milk; the marshmallows get too soggy.

11. My 30th birthday was one of the worst days of my life. But it had nothing to do with turning 30.

12. As a child, I used to pick all the lima beans out of the mixed vegetables and save them 'til the end because I loved them so much...ok, I'll admit it, I still do.

13. I was named after Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII. My parents went to see Anne of the Thousand Days before my older brother was born and decided on the name then.

14. At 12, all I wanted to do when I grew up was perform on Broadway and be the PTA President.

15. There are three things I am adamant about: meat should not come in a loaf; any game that requires you to stretch in the middle of it, is too long; and anything that has been stuffed up a turkey's bottom is not fit for human consumption.
