  9. I have never laughed harder <\/em>than with my friend Michelle.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 And I’ve never done dumber things and found them as hysterical as with Michelle. As an example, see the “umbrella tree incident<\/a>.”<\/li>\n

  16. I am not a fan of Facebook<\/em>…. though I use it because it is the only way to connect with some friends.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0…but I DO like the “growing things” application (see #16 above)<\/em>. So send me one.<\/li>\n
  17. I know I can always count on my sister <\/em>– any time I need her.\u00c2\u00a0 Whether it’s to laugh, cry,\u00c2\u00a0travel to Hawaii, or technical support.<\/li>\n
  18. I’m very proud of my\u00c2\u00a0brilliant son, Brandon<\/em>, \u00c2\u00a0who\u00c2\u00a0left for Panama<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0today for a 6 week vacation with his family.<\/li>\n

  25. I’m a geek<\/em> (think accounting, computer nerd, x-files, star trek, Stargate SG1)<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 But only partially, because I’m also an artist<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
