Today's topic: ME.
I don't tend to be a ME, ME, ME kind of person. It's just not in my nature. But I thought some interesting tidbits about ME might explain why this blog exists.
Okay, here it goes...
1. I am (at best) a mediocre crocheter (I think this is a word. Wait, I was an English major and took linguistics. Yep, it's a word). If you need a scarf or something large and square, like a blanket or tarp, then I'm your gal.
2. I have always hated my hair. It was a nightmare to deal with as a kid because it had so many different types of curl: wavy, kinky, frizzy, spirals, stick straight, etc. My hair was Sybil with all her many personalities. Only after I lost it all during chemotherapy did I get hair that I liked: normal. Hmm. Who'da thunk it??
3. I'm a cancer survivor. Breast cancer, way too young, no reason for it. Learned what I can handle, who I can actually count on, and busted up the comedy team of Lucy and Ethel. Ethel was replaced by Vivian. (If you have no clue as to what I'm talking about, watch an episode of "The Lucy Show." It will all make sense.) Let's move on.
4. I can't dance. At all. I've tried, I've failed. My best dancing is worse than anyone's drunken dancing.
5. I've been married to my best friend for 11 years. He's the one who has helped make me the person I am today. The ME of 12-13 years ago would never have written a blog. He's the one who has shown me that it's okay to take a risk. It usually pays off (my current employment situation is a great example).
6. I have 3 amazing kids who never cease to amaze me. They are smart, funny, good looking, and they CAN dance. All credit goes to Matt on this one.
7. I work in two libraries. Not one, but two! How lucky am I? They couldn't be more different and that is what makes them both pretty darned amazing.
8. I am a voracious reader. I wish that I had kept track of all the books I've read since the beginning of the year. It would be a hefty list. It has become my worst (and best) habit/addiction. And working in 2 libraries feeds that addiction. Chronic insomnia also helps.
9. I am one of the biggest advocates for libraries that you will ever meet (the real reason for this blog).
Well, that's about it for ME. There's more, lots more and maybe someday I'll share it with you all. But for now, I leave you with a picture of my daughter wearing my wig from Cancer Experience 2008.
The wig looks better on her than it ever did on me. I apologize for the messy dresser.
Warmest regards,
Andie Rosamund (the woman at my house who receives 9/10ths of our junk mail)
