Hello, friends and enemies.
I was voted one of People's Magazine 6.5 Billion Most Beautiful People….please no autographs.
I once lost a spelling bee in the third grade and to this day I hate the word colonel.
Like a fine wine, I was once just mere grapes...
For some reason everytimeduring take off aboard a plane I always hear the opening medley of "Sweet Home Alabama" which freaks me out.
I’ve always wanted to start and be the lead singer of my own 80’s cover band – “Miscellaneous 80’s”. I think we would go far in a tone deaf world.
When Iwas little my mother used to try and scare me by telling me that in jail they only fed you bread and buttter - shestopped once she figured out how much I love bread and butter.
I am a very curious person; so I've been known toresearch my questions for days until I find an answer. I can almost hear the OCD knocking.
I am a proudrecipient of the Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.
I love all people and I love to help all people. But not before noon.
I run a mile every other day while listeningto the theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I am in the best shape of my life since I started jogging with Indy.
I suffer from the occasional bouts with what's that called again, umm oh yeah.... lethologica.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is my sworn enemy. But why must it taste so good in my Apple Jacks!
I striveto be a polyglot. When meeting new people so much gets lost in the translation.
I've been to 48 out of 50States - Alaska you're too far away and Oklahoma, well you're Oklahoma.
I've learned my lesson well - see youcan't please everyone; so you got to please yourself.
My favorite architect is I.M Pei – not just for his work, but also for having a cool name.
My favorite spots on the planet (as of now) are FortDesoto Park, the islands of Hawaii, Central Park and Museum Mile in the City, Walden Pond, White Sands,St. Lucia, Villefranche-sur-MerFrance, Seville Spain and Heidelberg Germany. If you would like your city/country/island/pueblo to be in the runningplease send a ticket and hotel accomodations.
Another Bahama Mama please…easy on the Bahama and heavy on the Mama.
My favorite possession is my Magic Bullet blender, if you scoff atthat you apparently have never made a smoothie in one.
I’ve done stuff I ain’t proud of, and the stuff I amproud of….. is disgusting.
Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me.
I love to cook, but I hate to clean up after myself. Or clean but not cook. I guessit's a whole ying and yang thing.
It never fails - I always start packing the very last second possible before Ileave on a trip.
I think the smartest thing Henry Ward Beecher ever said was "the art of being happy lies in the power ofextracting happiness from common things."
I am sucker for beautiful eyes, smiles and accents - how my last exslipped through I'll never know.
I strongly believe the Italians have it right when they say "Dolce far Niente."
I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

In the end I am just trying to live a bonhomie existence and enjoy my second chance at life to it's fullest.
Finally a word of advice: If you knew you couldn't fail...what would you attempt to do?
And loosen up, have some fun! Yes, sleep when you feel like it, not when you think you should. Eat food that is bad foryou - at least once in a while. Have conversations with people whose clothes are not color coordinated. Make love ina hammock! Life is the ultimate experience, and you have to live it to write about it.
