Fun Facts: I have a terrible singing voice, but I never hesitate to belt out a song on a Karaoke machine. My Great Grandmother called me "Good Time Charlie" (someone who is the life of the party). I have never met a stranger; honestly, I am a party of one. Life is one big adventure for me, and I am here to enjoy it all.
If music plays with a good beat, my body takes over and starts to dance, even in public at the grocery store (but I try to keep it under control).
I met and got engaged to my husband of 31 years after only spending about five days together. It was love at first sight.
I can eat an Ice Cream Sundae 12" tall and finish my husband's. And walk away feeling fine. My body can absorb ridiculous amounts of Ice Cream (I only do this about twice a year).
I love to go dumpster diving, like some people love thrifting. I am never tired of hunting down free stuff that people throw out. I am not above ripping open garbage bags if I think there is something worth getting out of it. And yes, that's gross. LOL.
