1. As a result of a car accident my head is ‘bolted’ on with a titanium plate and four titanium screws (fusing two vertebra). Sadly, this doesn’t raise any extra excitement at airport security. They go undetected. (I suppose this falls in the weird category, however it’s quite interesting to see them on an x-ray.)
2. I loathe wearing make up. I don’t particularly care for doing my hair either. (I suppose this is because I’m not all that good at it.) I truly do wish “bald” was the “IT” style for women; I’d be first in line to at least try it!
3. I don’t want my sons to come to my funeral. They wouldn’t stay put in their seats and they can be ruthless. They would tell all the silly, stupid and “huh?” things I did in my life. I would die again and again from embarrassment. (Is this one weird too?)
4. I have a fear of the dark. At times it’s more intense than others. I have nightmares easily and my poor husband will be ripped out of his deep slumber by my screams.
5. I love the ocean. I love to collect shells, but I have to get out of the water to do that. I usually spend my time at the beach bobbing around in the water. (Complete with my huge sun hat and sunglasses!)
6. When I lived in South Florida, I would fly back to California to babysit my grandchildren for the evening or for things like ‘Grandparent’s Day’ at school. (The jet lag was horrid, although I usually only get it flying east.)
7. I saw Elton John in concert in 1972. While he played the piano, Bernie Taupin came out on stage in a crocodile costume. It was the debut of the song, ‘Crocodile Rock’. I still love that song!! (My son, B, always says he and his friends could hear me before they saw me when I picked them up from high school. Picture the big ‘ole Suburban flying down the street with “Rocking to the Oldies” blaring on the radio. His story, not mine!)
8. I love to travel and two of my favorite cities are New York City and Boston.

No, I don’t think they are weird.
I love Elton John, too.

You’re such a great Grandmother. I don’t even want to ask my Mom to watch my girls and she lives only 30 minutes away!

Okay girl (gosh I’m sorry I was running on four hours of sleep yesterday and didn’t read much) I would soooo not do the bald thing. THAT is one thing we will not be alike on, lol. Are you kidding? My face is so dang wide I need my hair to detract from it! And I don’t do a good job with it either, sigh…I think because I’m always in a rush.
You are definitely one cool mom and your sons will share that with the world at your funeral. Which, btw, I hope is a long long long long time from now. Although time is flying away from me faster than I can grasp, it’s kind of scary to me. xoxoxo
