My blog has been sweetened

From Polly at 5th Sister

Thank you, Polly.  Finding you (or you finding me)  has been a blessing and an inspiration.

So I'm guessing you want me to tell 10 things about myself that may or may not be common knowledge.  This could be difficult.  Here goes:

1.  Both my parents were in the army.

2.  My first little job right out of high school was a long-distance operator. 

3.  I then went to work for the army for 13 years before becoming a stay-at-home Mom.

4.  I was 41 years old with three children, a husband, two cats, and a hamster when I graduated from   Nursing School.....after going 4 years full-time.

5.  I'm a big football fan......Don't know why but I love the Broncos, the Seahawks, and the Cowboys. But I've never been to a professional or college game.

6.  If I had been born in another time I would have been a meteorologist....maybe even a tornado chaser.  I love keeping track of the weather.

7.  I've never been any further west in the United States than St. Louis.  Unless Dallas, Texas is more westerly.

8.  I've been to both Spain and Puerto Rico and the most significant thing I can remember in Spanish is "I've got a headache".

9.  I have no artistic talent.  Can't sing, play an instrument, paint, draw, or even bake well.

and finally,

10.  .......Nope.  Can't come up with a tenth one.  That'll have to do.  As it is, I've borrowed ideas from Polly.

And please, may I pass this 'Sugar Doll' award on to

1.  Angelia at Into the Unknown because she's trying very hard to be a good blogger

2.  Jessica at Adjusting to the World because she's a spiritual inspiration

3.  Deidra at jumping tandem because she has a blog that I truly love

4.  Angelia at Living, Loving, Laughing because she can use a little extra love right now

Thanks again, Polly, for this award.  These things mean a lot to me.
