Ramble on...

1. According to my mother, my dad wanted to name me Stevie or Sam (short for Samantha). 
2. My mom vetoed his requests and nearly named me Jacqueline before settling on Shanna.
3. My middle name is Leigh (which I unknowingly spelled wrong until I was twelve years old).
4. My "real" nails are thin, brittle, and peel (hence the acrylics I'll likely wear for life). 
5. I have lost nearly 20 pounds since the end of July.  I call it the break up diet.
6. Although my son plays soccer, I will never be a "soccer mom".
7. I still love big wheels, barbies, and playing dress up.
8. I finally understand what marriage is and why others might want to do it. 
9. I have gone through four cell phones during the last 22 months... 
10. As a result, purchasing optional insurance is no longer an option. 
11. I am about to fall asleep as I type this list. 
12. I would like to take dance lessons in order to learn traditional dances(such as the tango, fox trot, etc.)
13. I am in complete denial that Christmas is a mere 72 days away. 
14. I enjoy volunteering at Sal's on Thanksgiving day (it serves as a great reminder of the many blessings in my life).
15. I keep my thermostat set at 69 degrees year round.
16. I still do not understand the rules, etc. of playing football.
17. I recently read "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue".  Both were quite good. 
18. I am thrilled my son enjoys reading as much as I do. 
19. Catch phrase is my favorite game to play...
20. But Connect Four is a close second.
