Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

My friend Theresia Whitfeld tagged me to participate in the Seven Things About Me that's spreading around the Smaller Indiana social network. This is fun!

1 - I was born in Alliance, Ohio and moved to Sandusky, Ohio when I was 10. Lived in Traverse City, Michigan for one year, then back to Sandusky. Indy became home in 1986.

2 - My twin (you've all heard that everyone has a twin somewhere?) and I met at summer camp when I was 8. She was from Illinois. We even had the same clothes on the day we met, and everyone thought we were kidding when we told them we didn't know each other.

3 - Married when I was 19, and mother of 2 sons, Sean and Brian, by 24. Now proud, happy, loving, lucky grandmother of Olivia, Tyler, Payton and Josh, ranging from 4 to 10 years old.

4 - Macaroni with ketchup is my comfort food.

5 - My cat, Oozo (my spelling for Ouzo), was named after the liquid refereshments Mike drank the night before our wedding. She was a black cat (Ouzo tastes like black licorice.) Our best man's parents were from Greece, and they 'taught' Mike how to enjoy WAY too many drinks. Hangover still when the wedding started at 7:00pm.

6 - A late achiever, I was 43 when I earned my BS, my MBA at 52.

7 - A little ornery streak in me...while still living in Alliance, my grandfather took my cousin and me to Mount Union College football games. We'd always sit on the top row because he wanted to lean against the tall cement wall. On the other side of the wall, waaayyyy far down, was the walkway into the stadium. My cousin and I would throw peanuts and see how many people we could hit on the head.

Rules are below. Enjoy!

Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
Link to your original tagger(s) post and list these rules in your post.

My son accidentally made maccaroni and hot chocolate mix instead of cheese (he grabed the wrong packet) yuk!

that would be a very casual and comforting dinner for sure!
Comment by Cindy Hartman on January 25, 2009 at 11:03am
Maybe you & Lorraine and Mike & I should have dinner together some evening! :)

Cindy - yep I did read yours the other day and immediately picked up on the mac and catch combo. and, btw, I like tuna on mine.
Comment by Cindy Hartman on January 25, 2009 at 10:58am
Mike puts tuna on his mac, but no ketchup. Mine is w/out the tuna. At least the 'base' of the meal is the same for both of us. haha Both together? ah.....no.

Nicki - No, not a 'real' twin. "They" (whoever that is) says everyone has a twin somewhere in the world. I met that person at summer camp. We had identical hair cuts, same color hair, eyes, etc., even had the same clothes on the day we met. Cool, but also a little weird.

Andy - did you read my 7? That's listed as my comfort food - but I just like the normal elbows. Lorraine and I thought it funny when we found we have that in common. Mike said it makes his stomach flip-flop when he sees me making it.

I always make more macaroni than we need just so Lorraine can have it with Ketchup the next day. And her real preference is ketchup with Wagon Wheels. Our kids thought we made them just for them when they were little - ha!
