3) I hated school hated it hated it hated it!!!!!

4) I always got in trouble at school.. (can you believe that??? ) Really I rarely went to school!

5) I eventually went to college and got a bachelors degree in social work.. (huge accomplishment for someone who truely didnt go to school!!)

) I work with juvenile delinquent boys.. and I like them! (well, there are a few that I could live with out!)

7) I have 4 children, 20, 21, 23, and 27! I had my first child at age 10.. yeah, thats right, 10 and that makes me 37!!! (heehee!!) not a very good liar am i??

12) I LOVE tiny things..

13) I'm obsessed with creating.. live and breath it.. daily.. I take things to work to work on on my lunch hour!

14) sadly, Im a bit obsessed with the darn internet and flickr and blogging and it takes up way too much time.. I think my husband thinks I ignore him...(how do you think I've stayed married this long!!) (just kidding!)

Oh, Viv!!!
You were indeed a beautiful little girl. How precious...

I loved reading a little more about you. Seems we have oodles in common!

I just googled Hobby Lobby earlier today, and the closest one is many hundreds of miles away... waaaaaa.... I want to go too!!! LOL!

My 3 things?
1- I probably will never blog it out loud, but I'm beginning to wonder if the two bunnies was really such a good idea... LOL!
2- I hate Mondays because the kids go back to school, But I love them because it's hubby's day off and we get to spend time together.
3- I love my online friends like you, who put a smile in my heart every day :)

Hugs... *Linda*

Girl I still have nightmares about school for how much I hated it too and I KNOW I must have been switched at birth..LOL! I think you asked me to add a picture and facts to my flickr but I'll leave you with 3 facts about me:
1)I am a bit psychic and intuitive
2)I despise my wide Julia Roberts mouth (you'll notice it more when we meet in person)
3)I am fluent in Foul Language..LOL! Just ask Natalea what I mean!!

P.s Don't think I've ever been to a Hobby Lobby. Is it like a Joanne's?
