I just typed this and lost it. Thank goodness I copied it!
Reading the lists uplifted my mood a bit yesterday. It was a rough day, but that is for another post. Here is my list. I am a afraid I am pretty boring overall!
1.) I have three kids. I have two boys and a girl (25, 23, and 17).
2.) I have two grandchildren, a boy (4) and a girl (3 in January) via my oldest son.
3.) I currently live in Florida. I grew up in Michigan and also lived in New Hampshire for many years.
4.) I plan on leaving Florida for good after my son graduates in May. I tried Florida twice, and it is not my cup of tea. I am probably moving back to Michigan.
5.) I have been to 46 states (I still need to get to Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alaska and Hawaii).
6.) I currently have three jobs, and I like it that way. I am most comfortable with several streams of income.
7.) I am a moderate Conservative.
8.) I almost never listen to music. I don't hate it, but it is not a part of my life. I could go the rest of my life never hearing another song, and it would not bother me.
9.) I have had a strong urge to volunteer lately. I have decided to wait until the move. At that point I have a specific charity to work with in Michigan in mind.
10.) I never grew up with animals in my home. Much like music, they just are not a part of my life.
11.) I would love to travel more. I have not been outside the US and Canada.
12.) I have an irrational fear of being a bag lady. Hence, my need to work so much. I am sure it is also partially because I have always been the major breadwinner.
13.) I have lost 14 pounds since late July. I cut out processed foods and most sugar. I have also participated in aquacise classes.
14.) I've been married twice. I am currently married, but we are discussing a separation.
15.) I really want to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. I have had a novel in mind for years, and hope I can follow through.
16.) I have an interest in owning a tiny house. I am not a minimalist, but I don't own a lot of things. I like the idea of no mortgage!
17.) I almost never purchase anything (outside of paying my regular bills) that is not reimbursed. I hate spending money. I can thank mystery shopping for this.
18.) I think about my future constantly. As I get closer to 50, I don't want any more (major) regrets.
19.) I am fortunate at my age to have both parents and a living grandparent (who is in great shape for turning 89 next month).
20.) I have never met any SA bloggers, but I would love to do so!

We share 16. Just watched the Tiny House Hunters marathon last Saturday with my oldest son. I parted with two bags of items and smallish bookcase since then!

I haven't counted up mine recently but I know it's nowhere near that. OK -- it's 23 plus Puerto Rico. I'm not counting states I only drove through or states where I had an airport layover (that would add maybe 5), but I did include a couple places I drove into just to say I'd been there, and then drove back shortly!
