2. I hate talking on the telephone. Only use it when it's a life threatening situation.

4. When I grow up, or my kids grow up, I am going to be an elementary school librarian.
5. I prefer Hershey to Godiva.
6. My neighbors are perfect. Jeff suggested this....
7. I hate swimming with fish. They smile at me and I find that very scary.
8. It's not my job to replace the empty roll of toilet paper.
9. One of my favorite books is "The Ride of Our Lives" by Mike Leonard. Mike lives in Winnetka, IL. Close enough to stalk.....or at least get an autograph.
10. I've had several encounters with bats in my house. One had the wing span of a pterodactyl!!

19. I have never received a speeding ticket.

Thanks! I haven't felt like blogging lately.... this was an easy one for me!
LMAO!
We're a lot a like, you know! must be why we get along so well.
My favorite author sent me an e-mail after mentioning his book in the blog. Here it is!!!!!
Hi there. Is it Sue? This is Mike Leonard. My kids put a program on my computer that alerts me to blogs that mention The Ride of Our Lives and up came your very nice and very funny words. It was so cool to read that we both share so many of the same fears and hates. I fear fish in the water and hate talking on the phone. There were many other similarities. If you and your husband/family are ever in the vicinity of Winnetka, Illinois please stop by. I mean it.
Hope all is well with you. My mom and dad are still hanging in there and still being funny. They moved back here and live in Glenview, Il.
Thank you for the nice words about the book, my first venture into
that arena.

That's really cool!
Yeah, I'm feeling really cool too!
How nice that he took the time to send a note! You have to read his book! Brian and I were in pain from laughing. The kids looked at us like we head two heads!
Well, this explains a lot!
