I've been pretty active here -- and wordy (I love to write) -- so I can't guarantee I can think of things you don't know about me. 
1. When the post office began having difficulties in the spring, I suggested to a few friends that we become pen pals. Three of them and I have been writing quite regularly, and though it is strange to have such a slow communication, it's also awesome.
2. I have a small plant (Nephthytis) living in a little yellow plastic pot on my desk; the only plant in my house. I received it from a student in my homeschool co-op photography class in spring 2018 and I'm very proud that it's still alive because I have barely ever managed to take care of any plants ever, including a couple of poor attempts at gardening. I even managed to neglect an aloe vera cactus to death (I claim distraction from giving all my attention to my three kids who were preschool-early school-age at the time).
The Nepthytis is very good at telling me it's thirsty by drooping. 
3. I've been to Catalina Island (California) twice (1992 and 1997, if I remember correctly) and I learned to snorkel there, which was one of the most awesome and literally breathtaking experiences I've ever had. This item was inspired by my desktop wallpaper on my new iMac that I got last month thanks to the generosity of a friend of my husband.

My husband was also spontaneous. We were also just hanging out and talking (in my childhood bedroom! never would have predicted that! LOL) and he said, "When we're more financial stable, will you marry me?" I had no hesitation, even though we'd only known each other for 4 months. That was in October 1994 and we have been more and less financially stable at various times ever since. 
Totally regretted it later...but life goes on!!
