Asking a writer to come up with a bio in less than three hundred words is definitely a challenge! But I do love to write. Writing about me is NOT one of my favorite things to do, either. I do not bloviate. But I will attempt to give you one secret and one lie, while I describe an interesting quirk, my best character trait, and a favorite thing to do.
I have a fairy tale marriage. I met my husband and five days later, he asked me to marry him. A month later we were married. Twenty-one years later and we are still going strong.
I think my best character trait is also my worst. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and because I care so deeply about my friends and family, I rarely let people in.
I have a nervous tendency to play with the ends of my hair, checking for split ends. I so hate split ends, and the longer my hair get’s the more I play with it. I should go to the salon and have it touched by the blade every now and again. But, I just can’t bring myself to even a trim.
One of my favorite things to do is go outside and watch nature at its best. We watch the bees, the birds, the dragonflies, the rabbits, the armadillos and even the alligators. Someone told me I should add fuliguline watching to my outdoor activities since I like watching nature all the time. What is a fuliguline anyway?
I may have revealed something about me that isn’t strictly true. Can you guess what it is?
Oh! I wear my emotions on my sleeve too. Unless that's the lie?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is you know what fuliguline means. :)
ReplyDeleteFairy tale marriages rock! Thanks for joining my blog Lady Jai!
ReplyDeleteUm, is it the hair stuff? That you never get it trimmed?
ReplyDeleteHi Crusader, nice to meet you!
Hi, great job on the challenge! I'm guessing the lie is that you can bring yourself to get a haircut.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out if I'm right. :)
Hi, crusader!
ReplyDeleteMy guess for the lie you've been married for 21 years. You look too young.
Oh how fun! I'm going to guess alligators are NOT one of the things you watch outside. If that part is true, then wow!
ReplyDeleteI read in your profile that your husband is a disabled vet. Please tell him thank you for his service. I truly appreciate soldiers who keep us safe at home.
Maybe how soon your husband popped the question is your fib? Hi from another Crusader. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming it's the 21-year part. Maybe?
ReplyDeleteHey fellow crusader! Nice to meet you!
Hmm. Not yet married 21 years?
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you on my blog.
I suppose the link might be useful: http://alisonstevens.blogspot.com/2011/02/awards.html
ReplyDeleteok, 21 years of marriage? That's the lie. That's my guess.
ReplyDeleteSome might say the alligators are the fib. But since my apartment complex sits by a bayou that would be true for me. You look much too young to have been married for 21 years! Hope your fairy tale marriage never runs into a wicked witch! Roland
ReplyDeleteI love fairy tale marriage stories so I refuse to believe that is the lie. ;-) However, maybe the lie is that you haven't been married 21 years?? You look so young!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!
Yay! Another fairytale marriage! I think my hubby would have asked me to marry him that soon too if I wasn't 16 when we met. =)
ReplyDeleteFairytale marriage a lie? Hmmmm, this is hard! Hello Fellow crusader! :)
ReplyDeleteI reckon that, like me, you looked up fuliguline. So that's the fib. You know what it means.
ReplyDeleteWait, have just re-read the post. Married 21 years? You don't look old enough. I'm going with that as the fib .. or both?
I suck at this.
Hello fellow crusader!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the visit :)
I think the lie may be the question!
I have no idea. YOu did a great job telling your story and it makes me want to get to know you more. I think it must be how long you have been married. I am looking forward to following your story.
ReplyDeleteI am soooooo loving all these guesses. Can't wait to reveal. I may do it tomorrow! Or Sunday/Monday, haven't decided, yet! :D
ReplyDeleteHmm... 21 years or the gators, is my guess! Good job though, it's so hard to find anything that sounds off!
ReplyDeleteAwh sweet. I guess you've looked up the word flugline. Hubby and I have been married 21years too :O)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you fellow Crusader. Your little white lie must be about your hair. I believe you check for the split ends, but someone who hates those would get their trimmed hair often....Well that is what I think for what! Weren't you the brave lady to marry in such a Whirlwind. I loved reading about your success stories. Congratulations! Staff to the pets! Haha! Love it!
ReplyDeleteReally nice post. I enjoyed reading it. I am still making my way around to all the crusaders. So many things could be true that this one is hard. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing your lie is the 21 years.....
ReplyDeleteNot quite 21 years?
ReplyDeleteHello to a fellow crusader :)
Popping over to say "hello" to a fellow crusader! I'm going to guess that you do know what fuliguline means...? :)
ReplyDeleteHey! Thought I'd get in before the big reveal. How about haircuts? That's my guess.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you! Thanks for popping by our blog. I'm really behind on the crusader thing. Great post! Christy
ReplyDeleteOops missed this before, promise I haven't peeked. Alligators, but almost missed that, like it was an everyday thing :)
ReplyDeleteGood post. I'm going to guess that you let lots of people in. Usually the most tenderhearted people I know are the most sociable, too.
