36 things.....

In celebration of 36 years of life I thought about doing an "about me" post for my birthday then I dug through my archives and came across a post titled 25 things about me. So if you care to learn more you can just click on this link, otherwise disregard. Nothing has changed except I finally got rid of my old Nokia cell phone. Believe it or not I have a texting phone. I do not text often. Actually I swore I never would. Hate it when that happens! I swore off facebook too and now I'm a junkie.
