I actually got the idea for this list from Andrew from We Build Your Blog, who got it from someone else, and I thought it would be fun to try. He did 50 on his list, but I didn't want to bore you to death. :-)
Any comments? Any surprises?

Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed learning more about you. We have a few things in common. One being that we are both Cancers. Cool! :) Take care!
Evelyn,
ReplyDeleteI should have known! Cancers love food and teaching others. I'm in good company.:-)
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteMany were surprising, but I haven't known you all that long, so can I claim that as an excuse? :) I suspected that you were hard working and generous, and if I'd thought about it, would have guessed you were a loyal friend. This is a fun thing to do. I'll check out the link (thanks) and maybe I'll give it a try.
Have a wonderful day,
Karen
Karen,
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to say. :-)
I actually had fun with this. Do try it, and let me know when you do, so I can check it out. It adds another dimension to the "person behind the blog", I think. Thanks for your thoughts!
Ah, watching cooking shows. Addictive. Nice to all hear this about you!
ReplyDeleteHey Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog and commenting. I really do appreciate it. Great post here and I'm thrilled to learn new things about you, also, on my comment on my blog (reply to yours) -- one thing I went over was technical experience. If you ever need help with anything technical, let me know, I'd be more than happy to help.
Great blog here Jennifer, love the design, will bookmark this blog and keep myself updated.
Regards
Karl.
Hi Pamela!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you today! Hope all is well in your world.:-)
Hi Karl,
ReplyDeleteIt was my pleasure! Hope to see you here again. And you just may hear from me soon with tech questions. :-) Thanks much!
Jen:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the honest list.
I loved "One of the most endearing things that a man can do for me is prepare a home-cooked meal. I love good food and stimulating conversation." I agree.
Also, IF I'm ever in your area, I look forward to some "mean" meatloaf :)
Sincerely,
Steve
Steve,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you here. And you're definitely on for that "mean mean loaf" meal if you're ever in my neck of the wood!
Have a Happy Father's Day weekend!
OOps, that should have read "mean meat loaf" meal. :-)
ReplyDeleteUh, yeah, about #9. What type of entertainer? I only see you as totally scholastic with a little poetry on the side.
ReplyDeleteMarcie,
ReplyDeleteYour comment made me laugh. I needed that this morning.:-)
Actually I'm not always "scholarly". I'm a mysterious woman of many talents. Hence my book titled "A Paradox in Pink".
Shows how much you know...:-)
Seeing is believing---until you see me do live karaoke, I guess you'll be among my doubters. lol
Thanks girl for stopping by!
Love this post Jen!
ReplyDeleteI found out many new things about you and a few I suspected. Not surprised that you are a loyal friend, brutally honest or hard working. Though, I have a hard time believing folks underestimate you.
Take care,
Nikola
Thanks, Nikola! It's always good to hear from you.:-)
ReplyDeleteBeethoven’s 5th Symphony is also my favourite. A film on Beethoven showed how he composed this symphony (being deaf) while sitting on a mountain top and watching thundering and lightening that made the initials of the symphony.
ReplyDeleteThe other 24 things are also fascinating. Nice listing.
jalalHB, thanks for stopping by and weighing in!
ReplyDeleteFrom your profile it seems we have common musical tastes somewhat. I'm a big fan of the Carpenters and Neil Diamond.:-)
I wish that I could have seen the film on Beethoven. Sounds like it was very interesting.
Glad you found my list fascinating.:-)
Hello! This article has actually helped me chose a path to follow. Thanks so much for the great info and keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks forex morning trade. Much luck!
