FIRST...HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! MAY YOU AND YOUR HUNNY/KIDOS HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY TOGETHER!
Wow! My first award! Thanks go out to Natalie at This Purple Crayon for the pink bling! Like Natalie, I don't know where this award comes from or what it all means, but it looks great and it's a great spirit booster for a little blogger like me. About the only thing I do know about the award is that I have to list ten things you may not know about me and then pass it on to 10 other bloggers.
TEN THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME
1. My first name is Minerva and that is the name of a Roman goddess...the equivelant of the Greek Athena. And it's also my mother's middle name and we are both called Minnie by family and friends (except people pronounce her name with more of a Spanish flair and mine like Minnie Mouse).
2. I have a "Holy Cow" Boston Terrier named Larry..."Holy Cow" because that's exactly what you would say if you saw him...he's huge! The heavy weight of dogs! And he has a nagging "wife" named Skippy. She's a slender Rat Terrier.
3. I used to be a high school English teacher and I absolutely loved teaching the great Greek tragedy, Antigone written by Sophocles. I also loved doing all those artsy type projects that now don't work so well in World History AP.
4. I am currently addicted to Sprite...that's all I want to drink whenever I go out to eat.
5. I love that song by Train...Hey, Soul Sister.
6. That song, Fifteen by Taylor Swift, has actually made me cry. Why? Maybe because I have a daughter and one day she will be fifteen and everything that song says is so true...
