We always read Winn Dixie. I love the part when Opal asks the preacher to share 10 things about her Mama because she is 10. I am 45. 45 is a BIG number. I was going to share 45 things about myself but I think I'll add the digits. 9 is more reasonable. So here are nine things about me and my life. 1. I am a native New Yorker born and raised in Manhattan. 2. I'm right ✋ handed. 3. I'm a former runner. I ran over 30 races after my 40th birthday. 4. I am a bulldog mom. My baby is Bella. You will hear a lot about Bella. 5. I am a wife, mom, stepmom and grandmother. 6. I love the outdoors! 7. A perfect date with my husband would be cruising on our electric unicycles through the city. 8. I get to teach some pretty cool kids. 9. I'm an omnivert. I can be the quietest or loudest person in the room.
