"This Is Me" Thursday--I Have


I Have:


  • A wonderful home in the country. The house and the property (6 acres!) is always a work-in-progress, but the same is true for anything we value.
  • A supportive and loving husband. John wants me to do what I love and feel happy and successful.
  • A loving, caring family and a small group of dear friends. Who could ask for more?
  • Two great kids. They're still finding their way in this crazy world (aren't we all?) but they are both hard-working, respectful, and generous. We love them.
  • A 1998 Chevy Cavalier. Sure, it's old but it has a new engine and transmission and a fresh shiny black paint job. My little car looks and runs like new. (Without the monthly car payments, which leaves more money for--office supplies.)
  • A cat. Her name is Cashmere because she is so soft. She's a bit of a bimbo but she's a good girl and really, really cute.
  • A short attention span. Which could explain my problem with writing novels and my compulsion to write short stories and poems.
  • A wonderful group of writing friends. Although I've never met them face-to-face, I feel as though we're all family.
  • A very large Rubbermaid tub filled with unused Crayola crayons. But most of you knew that, so let's move on...
  • A fairy collection. They flutter inside the curio cabinet John bought me one Christmas. Sometimes, I talk to them but they don't seem to listen. I also have a collection of fairy books. They're so beautiful!
  • A fascination with dragonflies. They fly into my office whenever I leave the door open. I tell them it's OK for them to reveal their true identities (fairies, of course!) but they act like they don't know what I'm talking about. Oh, well...

  2. That's right! You DO know Cashmere. :D
    You'll have to come over sometime. We'll color pictures of fairies. (Yes, I have a fairy coloring book. ;)
