This is my baby brother, myself at around age 4 and my grandfather.  So very long ago.  I know it has taken me FOREVER to finally do this, but since I will be the BIG 4-0 on Sunday, I felt the time was right.

Styles
What is your favorite online shopping website?
hmmmmm-lets see, Avenue I guess.  if we are talking about clothes.

What would you describe your style as? 
I like to have fun, be comfortable, & not look as old as I sometimes feel, I have friends who are both older & younger than I, my latest thing is giraffe print!  I just bought a purse & slim wallet, made myself a small duffle bag for all my junk I take to work, my mom made me a really cute coin purse & is going to make me a purse divider since the purse only has 2 small pockets.  I guess I am a bit giraffe crazy right now-LOL

Lists
Which list would you say you add to the most?
wowsers!  it depends on the time of day & the way I am holding my face-LOL.  maybe my movie lists?

I have two-is that ok? all of the RGP lists (REVIVAL GEAR PROJECT) & "The APPLE of My Eye" 

What is your one pet peeve in lists?
When they don't make any sense.  Like if someone has maybe one or two lists for EVERYTHING.  So you go through it and there are clothes and housewares and stuff for the car, but nothing is sectioned off or even grouped together. AAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

What do you always make sure to do with your lists?

5 Random Facts
1. I was born, raised & lived in southern NJ until 10 years ago when my hubby, mom & dad all moved to NE
2. I am EXTREMELY shy until I get to know you
3. After statement 2-it should surprise you to find out that in March of this year I started a non profit project to make & fill duffle bags for foster kids & go to local churches & organizations to speak about it & ask for donations!  yes, me, honest!  even though my hands are sweating & my heart is racing! If all goes well, we may be able to afford the 501c3 (non-profit) papers by the end of the year!!!!!
4. I love to teach people things I know how to do.  I learned this at work & have been able to train people in India via phone. 
5. I HATE SHOPPING!  OK-before I get kicked off Kaboodle forever, let me say how.  I hate going out to shop.  I never seem to be able to find what I want.  The only gratification I get is to be able to have the product right away.  I much prefer shopping online.  Especially during the holiday rush!  Man, people are crazy during the holidays!

So, hopefully after reading all of this I have not caused you to go screaming into the night, or to fall asleep from sheer boredom.  I am just an average person living an average life in an average town.  This has been an extremely eventful year for me.  The start of REVIVAL GEAR PROJECT, my husband was laid off along with most of the country, blah, blah, blah.  So turning 40 has not been very appealing to me.  I would much rather skip it & just celebrate next year.  Besides, imagine how much more surprised I will be if you save all the black balloons & crepe paper till then (hint, hint, wink, wink).  Well, either way, this past 40 years has been full.  I've learned a lot.  Forgotten a lot.  Lived a lot.  Gained a lot (mostly weight-LOL).  and lost a lot (like my baby brother).  But through it all I have had great friends, family, & faith in God.  I hope you all have a blessed summer and remember to live in the moment because you can never get that moment back.  For better or worse, this is my life & I am thankful to have had 40 long years.
