Uniquely Me

     I am an almost fiftyish woman with all the dents, dings, and scars of a woman who has lived and loved and is still wondering where her niche in life is. Kind of. I am basically healthy, almost happy, and mostly sane in an insane time of human history, I know that I am going to witness changes that my grandparents are glad to be missing. I reeeaaally like food. I like the outdoors and have a passion for all things natural. I have a deep faith in my God, my country and my family and in that order. I have a sense of humor as big as my behind, although not as dented, most of the time. I am kind to strangers and as honest as any normal human being can be. I work hard, like to play harder and love completely. I love a good book, a good movie, or a good puzzle of any variety. I love to learn and wish that I could remember a fraction of what teachers have tried to teach me over the course of my lifetime. I have done a fair amount of traveling, and hope to do more. I am pretty comfortable with who I am, enough so that I do not have a problem fitting in where ever I go. I love to dance. I want to learn how to play the piano, ride a train, and sail on a yacht for a month or so, in the Carribbean. I have to have my towels folded a certain way or it irritates me. I am determined to do well in school this time around because I want my PAID freaking VACATION, someday. I am so laid back that half the time I am prone. I like taking pictures and have a couple of ones that I really like and will someday frame.I have a deep respect for my elders, and hope to be one someday. I love crabby old cats, warm fuzzy puppies, and  most other furred animals. I have made a lot of mistakes and been very lucky at times and thank the guardian angel that comes around occasionally to check on me, that none of my mistakes cost me more than I was able to pay. I like my spelling to be correct as I do remember one teacher telling me that misspelled words were a sign of being uneducated. My children call me a walking dictionary. My son actually called from half a world away once to ask me how to spell "truely". I told him, "How should I know"?I have a passion for yard saling, Bingo, and walking along the coast to see what treasures the ocean threw up on the shores just for me because I am so special. I hate hot weather, and think that becoming a snow bird is about the best idea in the world, and I am trying to make that happen so give me my A and watch me go! My grammer stinks so I will take a B and waddle off into the sunrise as I like those better than sunsets. They are both beautiful but the sunrise has an air of mystery, a promise of adventures to come, while a sunset has an air of finality to it, you have done everything you can do and can do no more. This is the beginning of me but this alone I think is enough to make me quite unique.

  1. "My son actually called from half a world away once to ask me how to spell "truely". I told him, "How should I know"?"

    Whew, you are a hard hard woman!

    This is a really kick-ass response to the assignment, full of personality, detail, surprise, humor, and, yep, altogether unique so that it reflects its creator.
