My writer friend,Simran tagged me for a meme, and it sounded like fun!
I’m supposed to write five things people probably don’t know about me. About two-hundred posts ago, I planned to write a hundred of these things, and never got around to it.
So here’s my start:
1. I was raised as an only child, but I have 11 incredible half-brothers and sisters.
2. In high school I competed in Forensics and took sixth in the nation in oratory my senior year.
3. I passed the Series 7 exam and worked as a financial planner/broker for one year.
4. Growing up, I’d planned to study law, then international business, then broadcasting.
5. Instead, I was a school guidance counselor for nine years.
So there you go! By the way, I’m hosting a contest next month, so this would be a good time to subscribe to Pass the Torch, if you haven’t already.
I’m tagging Pamela, Robin, Holly, Chilihead and Mama Duck.

I did the series 7, also.
I only worked as a registerd sales asst, however — for quite a few years. I just knew I couldn’t be THE MAN. I knew my limitations. What if I had sold ENRON to someone. Oops, .. guess what.. I did)
(I’ve got three tags now – and I’m flinching. I guess one thing I could say is I sold Enron to someone. Giggle)
Hahaha. I never knew that about you, Pamela! I could deal with the sales end of it. My heart just wasn’t in it. I’m glad for all I learned, though. It’s helped a lot in my personal life.

[...] This morning I woke up to some fun comments on my blog – - – that, by the way, is a fantastic way to start your day. *wink* One was from my good friend Kelly telling me I had been tagged. [...]

Wow, 11? Whew!
Ummm, I don’t know if anyone has ever told you this, but you’re kind smart. :O)
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you mary! I love it when you stop by! Can you tell me what that means, though?

Sorry, I meant to say you’re kind of smart, LOL… but actually you’re kind and smart! I was using sarcasm, but in a good way. ;O)
I think besides my husband, you are probably one of the smartest people I know. :O) Really.
Ok, I’m done sucking up now.
Hahahaha! Well, you seriously made my day. I’ve decided I need to ask for clarification on things more often;)
Have a great day!

WOW Great answers Kelly! You’re pretty versatile to say the least girl. Thanks so much for playing along!

I should have re-read yours BEFORE I did this post…mine are so pedestrian in comparison :/. I needed an “easy” post, though, thanks for providing just the venue for that!
