Who are you, Carol?

So, someone asked me for a brief description of myself for a newsletter. This is what I sent her. Just thought I'd share.

By the way, is it weird to start sentences with so? I'm sure it's grammatically incorrect. But, I'm more concerned that it might be weird.

I do it a lot in real life, so that's a legitimate concern.

So, here it is, about me!

THINGS I LOVE:

--My husband who I dated in high school and married 6 weeks after he got home from his mission.  25 years and still counting.   He is a very patient man!

--My kids:
McKay, 24, and his wife Annie.  Newsweek journalist and Wachovia banker respectively.  They live in Queens and work in Manhattan and let me visit whenever I want.  Which is very, very often.
Kami, 22, who is on a mission in Chile.  She will be home in July, which is not soon enough.
Chase, 20, who is on a mission in Argentina.  He still has 19 months, which is really way to long.  They should let mothers be in charge of the length of missions.
Tagg, 17, who still lives at home.  Which I am thankful for every day of my life.

--Baking and Cooking.  I owned a bakery cafe in Utah before we moved.  It was called Flour Girls and Dough Boys if you were wondering how I got my email address.

--Sharing my crazy opinions and recipes (which are not so crazy) on my blog flourgirlathome.blogspot.com

--Meeting new people and learning about them

--Entertaining

--The ocean

--Sunshine

--DIY network

THINGS I DO NOT LOVE:

--The weather pretty much every day since we got here.  Can someone please do something about that?

--Being cold all the time (see above)

--Wearing boots every time I leave the house (see above)

--Darkness more than 12 hours a day (see above)

That just about covers the weather, I think.

--The fact that my house is too small to entertain

--The fact that it is taking so long to get my house addition approved
