k, it was so fun to learn all these things about you! I am so the same about the phone -I hate hate talking on the phone. Lots of times instead of calling someone back, I'll just email them. Oh! And we are going to Cancun in a few months - hence the longish plane ride and my dreams of baby Ambien.

JoAnna said...

Seriously! What a great idea. I had so much fun reading all of that about you. I have like a million responses. First of all, I, too, HATE talking on the phone! Hate it!! Will do anything to avoid it. Love the e-mail invention for that reason. I also play the piano when I'm upset or hurting. It is so therapeutic and healing for me. I can't believe you found your neighbor dead. What a nightmare. I'm glad you put that b/c that's pretty unique. I can't imagine what that would do to me. I would love to hear more about it in another post and how it affected you. I had NO idea that you and your sisters were taking singing lessons together all that time. how cool! I LOVE your taste in music. I wish I was less outspoken! I like to swim in pools but hate to swim in lakes or oceans.:) Youth conference!! Bit on the foot by a vulture????!!! Love to learn all this about you! Great idea. Will for sure copy!
