Getting to Know Me (tagged by Emily)

NO PICTURE AVAILABLE! (Honestly, I don't have a recent picture of me. Sad, I know. One of my goals this year is to actually take more pictures of myself...not because I love pictures of myself but as I have been scrapping pictures from the last 10 years, I can probably count on one hand how many pictures of me there are. I am sure my children/grandchildren will wonder where I was all those years! I would have taken one today but my batteries in my camera died and I have to go to the store to get more...)
