As of yesterday, I am now 41 years old.
WHAT?????
What is happening? Where has the time gone?
It is hard to believe.
In honor of my birthday, and following inspiration from a fellow blogger, I thought I would give you a little insight into the woman and the marriage behind the blog.
So with no further adieu, here are 20 things you probably didn’t know about me or my marriage.
~ I have occasional atrial fibrillation which means that sometimes my heart likes to jump out of rhythm and needs medical intervention to make it right again.
~ My side of the bed is far messier than my husband’s.
~ I have an intense fear of flying. It doesn’t keep me from doing it, but I need a little Xanax and my husband’s hand to help me thru it.
~ I was born on Friday the 13th. Therefore I consider Friday the 13th a lucky day 🙂
~ My husband and I were co-captains of our high school dance team.
~ I wrote a children’s book, but never worked on getting it published. ( I need to get on that! )
~ My husband’s and my favorite place in the whole world is San Diego.
~ My husband and I have produced a kids PBS television show together for over 14 years.
~ My college degree is a bachelor’s in Child Development.
~ Trying to live a healthy lifestyle has come late in life, but I’m glad it has come.
~ So You Think You Can Dance, New Girl and The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon are my favorite TV shows.
~ My husband and I are homebodies. We would much rather rent a movie and get take out than leave the house on date night.
~ I don’t watch or read the news. I am terrible at handling bad news. I choose to live in ignorant bliss.
~ I dream of owning a beach house.
~ I despise the cold. I enter a slight depression from Fall thru Spring waiting for Summer to come back around.
~ Because I despise the cold, I will never live anywhere but So Cal. The sunshine and warmth are essential to my happiness.
~ I’ve never been a drinker, but I have recently started enjoying a glass of wine on the weekends. It has to be very sweet though. Not sure that I will ever become a wine connoisseur. Most of it just tastes terrible to me.
~ I have major guilt issues. I feel guilty about everything and am constantly trying to STOP FEELING GUILTY!
~ My husband’s idea of cooking is getting a bowl of cereal. Luckily that means he is easy to please. If I don’t cook, he doesn’t care. Cap’n Crunch is always there.
~ My husband and I were born 10 days apart.
~ I love this blog. It brings me tremendous happiness to write for you and for myself.
There you have it!
That’s me!
What is something that people might not know about you or your marriage?

Great post! Ummmmm… I’m 59 (I hated 41 – it was the idea of a 4 with another number behind it) I have been married 32 years to my soulmate Bill – what people probably do not know is Bill is my 3rd! Husband 🙂
Pleasure meeting you – I look forward to following you!
With a smile, Carlyn
I think that must be what it is. 4 with a another number behind it 🙂 Congrats on 32 years. That is really amazing. Third times the charm 🙂 Thank you for stopping by!
What a great idea. It’s great to get to know you more!
Hi Keelie! I saw another blogger who did something like that, so I thought it would be fun. Thank you for visiting!!!
You’re very brave for sharing that,thank you for reminding us all that it’s okay to be human.
Thank you for saying that Shernell. It is okay to be human 🙂 We all still have much to learn.
Tammy,
I’ve been following your blog for a long time. I’ve been meaning to write about more personal stuff on my own blog too, and never really got around to doing it. I want to, but I also don’t want to hurt people involved so there’s a risk factor that I have to tread carefully.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your articles and sharing them on twitter. I wish you all the best. Hope you get that children’s book published too!
Hi David! You were one of the very first bloggers to comment on my old site way back in the day. I have always appreciated you for that. Thank you.
It is always scary to be vulnerable in my writing, but I find that people really respond to me when I open up. I like letting my readers know that I’m human with flaws, fears and mistakes.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to say hi. It is so appreciated.
It’s good to put yourself out there and let your readers get to know you, thanks! It’s my first time stopping by, so good timing 🙂

I’m so glad you stopped by. Thank you!
Great post. Happy Birthday. I love finding out neat things about those I read about.
Thank you for the birthday wishes. I love getting to know fellow bloggers too 🙂
I can relate to so much of this! We are homebodies too!
🙂 There is nothing better than chilling out at home with my sweetie.
San Diego is the greatest! I was raised in Southern California and I miss it like crazy–especially around the winter time! Thanks for sharing this list!
PS: You don’t look anything like 41!
Ok, now you’re just trying to get on my good side 🙂 So sweet. Thank you so much for your kind words. And yes, San Diego is the greatest. It calls to me everyday.
Happy Birthday Girly! You look awesome for being 41! I just love seeing how much I have in common with my blogger friends! I too am 41 (well, I will be on the 25th of this month.) My 40th Birthday was the hardest one I’ve had so far. My hubby & I have been married 17 years and were highschool sweethearts. This is both of our 2nd marriage. We took the long way around, but it has been well worth it! Lol Anyways, I just love this idea of putting yourself out there like this in way of a list of things your readers may not know about you! Would you mind if I did one of my own on my site? I’m loving your site! I find myself visiting more and more often! ?
You are so sweet. Thank you. Happy Birthday to you! I’m loving the 40’s. Though it is always scary getting older, I feel that I know myself better now and am more comfortable in my skin than I ever was in my 20s or 30s. You and I have a lot in common 🙂 Of course you can take the idea and do one on your site. I think it is great to let your readers get to know you as much as possible. Thank you for your kind words. I look forward to following you more 🙂
Hello Tammy (and to your husband too)
Thanks for putting yourself out there and sharing this site. I just found this when I was pulling up Songs of the Believers (your site was next on the google search result). I look forward to following and digging into the resources!
