Getting to know Diana!

So it is my turn to share a little about myself. You will learn quickly that I am not as photogenic as Jennifer and I may not be as articulate. I think Jennifer explained our situation very well. I think it will be very interesting for us to continue our conversations about books in this medium. I agree that because of our different experiences and common interests we can see different sides of the story and sometimes we agree 100%.( We will never agree on Edward and Jacob.) We come from two totally different backgrounds, we both share January birthdays, we were born in the same decade however on opposite ends, we both love crafts, we both married military men, she works with children and I am bombarded daily with the drama of children. That is just a few things about us. So now I will answer the same questions that Jen did and you will definitely be able to tell who is older, especially it you are blind and can't tell by the pictures.

• Who was your favorite celebrity as a child? Lief Garret. I had all of his cards that you got out of teen magazines.


• What type of pets do you have? I have two dogs, Brownie and Fluffy.


• What is your favorite color? Green, because it's not easy being green.


• What is most memorable about your high school years? Not much, I just tried to blend in and get by.


• What word best describes you? Conundrum


• What is your greatest accomplishment? I could say my kids but they are a work in progress. I could say my marriage but once again a work in progress. I think that my biggest accomplishment is that I am still here, I still get up every morning and I give 110% of myself to everything that is important to me.


• What drives you every day? What drives me is the fact that there is more for me to do.
