Made me want to cry too!

Yeah, but did he say that because you are a women, or because you are blond?

As much as I like to talk, post, email, whatever I DO NOT like to present in front of people.

I just completed FOUR, yes that is FOUR one-hour presentations to our admin staff. I need a stiff Diet Dr. Pepper!

That surprises me. I wouldn't think that would bother you at all.

I don't have blonde hair anymore - it must be because I'm a woman!

5 things about me?

1. I was class Valedictorian.
2. I was super shy when I came into Church, if you didn't speak to me, I was silent. Some say the Lord fixed that!
3. When I was just a week into the Church, an accident happened while I was waiting for the Church doors to open. I administered first aid to the 8 year old boy, but he still died in my arms.
4. I once thought I was going to want to be Prime Minister of Canada, but after the thoughts of delusion passed, I dropped it.
5. You laugh, I laugh, you cry, I cry, you jump off a bridge, boy I will sure miss you!

Well, it's according to who it is sometimes. If it had been just me and the admins I'm completely comfortable with that, but my boss and a couple others were in there and they are boring, stiff people.

I like to be me when I talk and everyone responds great -- they fall asleep when my boss talks because she's so "by the book". It just makes me uncomfortable - - I'll never be her and I think she wants me to be.

Not sure what book she read that made her believe everyone has to act the same -

Ok. Let me think here.

Five things AFF doesn't know about me.

1. I dropped out of highschool at 16.
2. I was engaged when I was 16, to the first man I dated.
3. I moved out of my mom's house when I was 17.
4. I met, became engaged to, and married my ex-husband (the second man I dated) when I was 18.
5. I was 19 when I got pregnant.
6. 20 when my oldest was born.
7. Still 20 when I got pregnant again.
8. 22 when I got pregnant for a third time.
9. I had 4 children before I was 27.
10. I homeschooled my children until I was no longer able to. Even while a single mom. I even did 14 college credits while homeschooling the kids. It's what finally caused me to reconsider that idea. Superwoman I am not.
11. I was a material science engineering major intending to go into nanotechnology and biomedical engineering.
12. Now I'm a math education major.
13. I'm learning Hebrew in my spare time.
14. I am very, very, very shy in person. And quiet. Until you get to know me. Then I'm kind of an awful lot like I am on the forum.
15. I know how to sew and enjoy it very much.
16. I'm also very crafty.
17. I hate yarn. lol (or it hates me, maybe it's just a mutual thing)
18. I love gardening and food storage.
19. I can make yeast donuts from scratch. I should make yeast donuts from scratch sometime soon.
20. I used to bake 2 loaves of bread from scratch every single day, for well over 3 years.
21. I have been told I sing very well, but I'm too shy to sing in front of people. Very few people have ever heard me sing.
22. I am extremely frugal out of necessity, but I truly love the finer things in life.
23. I've lived in 5 different states.
24. I've visited 28 states and Mexico.
25. I *love* traveling.
26. I was heavily involved in inner city American mission work at one time.
27. I have a nearly photographic memory, unless I'm too tired.
28. I like queso and chips.
29. And coffee. But I drink decaf.
30. I hate ending on an odd number. lol

Ok, so that was more than 5.
