Occasionally I make DIY guy a bit nervous …. like when I start talking too much.
I’m not sure what it is, but in certain situations, I’ll tell you just about anything about me….and DIY Guy……an that’s where he draws the line.  For some uncanny reason, he doesn’t like me telling his secrets.  Go figure.

Me….I have no secrets.  I live a very transparent life.  You believe me don’t you?  What?  You don’t?  I really want to live an authentic life.  So, to move one step closer to being authentic and real — and transparent — 




30 years ago … when I looked like this … I was very insecure.  Shy.  Introverted.



DIY Guy was the exact OPPOSITE.  He was Mr. Outgoing, very friendly, very talkative, very extroverted.  He was at one end of the continuum… I was at the other.


In the last 30 years, we’ve both moved closer to the middle, becoming a little bit more like each other.  When we were dating in high school — I dreaded going to the dances.  Dances meant I had to mingle, talk to people I didn’t know….and dance.  And Mr. Popular at school had no problem being the only couple on the dance floor!

People who know me now…but didn’t know me back then won’t believe a word I just typed.  But it is true.


And so today, in the spirit of being real.  authentic.  transparent.  honest…. I will answer any question you may have been dying to ask me….or just thought of.  Wait….”What’s that honey?  You don’t think I should answer any question? – You think I might embarrass you?”


Ok, I will answer….  almost any question.  Remember this is a family blog !
Oh, and I will not tell you how much I weigh.  A lady should never tell her age or weight.  Oops… my age isn’t a secret — but my weight is.


So, go ahead and ask away….don’t let me down…. 
I just may ask YOU to come clean and answer some questions tomorrow!!
