These are the lists that tell my life story. They are in no particular order and some of them are very personal. Please be nice, and if you want to share, I’d be glad to take a look at what you have.

What Most People Don’t Know About Me
-I struggle with biting my nails, I don’t now, but I used to.

-I once worked at N.A.S.A. Langley.

-I know how to sew.

-I have three birth marks (a leaf, a heart, and a blob that kinda looks like a minivan, LOL)

Listography are books and a website dedicated to helping you write or consider your autobiography through the process of making lists.

Top 5: 13 – Vacation Spots

sample This is a list of my top five something. Most of the time my lists are pretty static, but sometimes I do change my mind. While I do try to apply some logic to my choices, sometimes I pick things that make no sense and for no good reason other than “I like it.”

Vacation Spots

1. Asheville, NC (home of the Biltmore Estate)

2.  OBX- Outer Banks, NC

3. Atlantic City, NJ

4. San Antonio, TX

5. Las Vegas, NV

In all honesty I have not done much traveling, but I so want to. These are the places I’ve been able to go that have left a positive impression on me.

A Day In My Life: September ‘14: Summer’s End

dayNlife

You may or may not find this surprising, but as a writer I’ve never been much of a journaler (I like making up words). I’ve always kept writing, sketching, and poetry notebooks, but I’ve never really liked writing about myself. This monthly post is my attempt at rectifying that and is an opportunity for me to get a little personal, as I share a single event from my life.

Summer’s End

For me, summer is officially over despite the lack of an Equinox. Once the kids go back to school, and us teachers, it’s all over. Don’t let me paint you a bad picture though. While the end of Summer can be sad, the coming of Fall has its perks to. I’m ready for sweater and scarf weather, but am glad the snow is many months off.

Just as last year, here I am at the Love Jones Luau with my Family. Time with family is more precious than gold.
