ReplyDeleteHey, we were pretty similar on some of the answers. Like the childhood pet (just mine was a cat not a dog), and being thankful for family.
ReplyDeleteHave you been to St Petersburg? We've just been on our cruise and went past Dostoyevsky's house and college on a canal boat ride. (I think... anyway it was at least one of them!)
I was an outcast at school too. It's interesting that you went back as a teacher. Don't think I could!
Congrats on the award!
ReplyDeleteLOL I think everyone has a Xanadu (no matter what the name)
Some great choices for your 7.
I love Fragile by Sting. I had it up on my "S" A to Z post.
ReplyDeleteI wear black every single day. Right now: black shirt, black leggings, black shoes, gray dress.
I nominated you last week, but you didn't see it:( I didn't tell anybody, but I'm telling you now to make you feel extra special.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Pam. I didn't see it :-( But thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
DeleteSusan, I know even more about you now. I bet when you lost your dog, it was devastating after having her that long. Thanks for the award.
ReplyDeleteI love the song Fragile, such a beautiful song. It was fun to learn more about you, and I'm jealous of those trips you made to all the National Parks! I can probably top you with the number of times I've seen While You Were Sleeping. ;)

Congrats on the award and thanks for passing it along. I'm mentioning you in my Thursday post. :) It's always fun to get to know bloggers better. I may learn to ski at 49, but for now - I'm OK not knowing.
