The Real Me Survey:
My personality
The song to best describe me is: "Bitch" - not as bad as it sounds... "she's a child she's a lover, etc."
Using the acronym R.E.A.L., four words to describe me are: Reader, Eager, Afriend (and cheater) Liberal
People I’m close to say I’m: A good listener
When you first meet me, you’ll think I’m: Shy
My goals
My proudest moment is: Getting the "employee of the month" award when I worked.
In ten years, I’d like to say I’ve: Helped my daughters find their life work.
If I could teach someone else a skill of mine, it would be: Getting along with all typed of people
If I could learn something new, it would be: Playing a musical instrument
My favorite things
If I was stuck on an island with food and water, I’d also bring: My husband, my three dogs, my daughters ( if I can bring people ), lots and lots of books, lots and lots of cds, writing paper and some great pens.
If I could plan my last meal, it would be: Homegrown tomatoes, sliced with a light coat of salt, watermelon, rib eye steak, baked potato swimming in butter and sour cream, king crab legs, fried okra and carrot cake with cream cheese icing.
If I could go on a $10,000 shopping spree anywhere, it would be: Home Depot for hardwood flooring and flagstones for a patio with a fire pit.
My favorite gift card from Gather is: Home Depot, see above.
Wishful thinking:
If I could live in any time and place, it would be: Now, on the southern French coast.
If I could live the life of someone else for one day, it would be: Barak Obama. I'd just like to see what the process is like.
My perfect escape is: Walking the beach looking for shells hand in hand with the husband.
If I had a genie in a bottle (and couldn't have anymore wishes) I would ask for: Good health and then a swift finale.
Random Fact:
A random fact about me is: I wish I'd had more children. Too late now!

Steak, sliced tomatoes, I'm so there.
You want flagstones? If you'll settle for brick pavers I got some piled in my yard... sigh. I was supposed to get a back patio two years ago. It's still waiting to be built by my hubby... I should just give them all away, they are becoming an eyesore to me! There's enough to build a firepit too, I would imagine.
