~ The 50 Things You May Not Know About Me ~

I was visiting some other blogs that are part of a blogging group I belong to when I stumbled upon the idea to create a list of , “The 50 Things You May Not Know About Me”.  I loved reading the list at Shoes, Fashion, Fitness… so much that I decided to try to come up with my own.  It was so much fun that I really hope you will give it a try too!!
