Okay I am sure that some of us whom have been here from the get go have made friends with other bloggers, but we have had so many new bloggers join recently, and some of us may simply be shy about saying hello so I thought that I would post a fun little get to know each other thing. We can tell from each others titleҒs why we are here, how we are connected to adoption, and can read each others posts for information on how we relate to and deal with adoption in our daily lives, but we donҒt really know about each other as people!

Interesting idea...
What is your favorite color? The steel grey of an almost stormy sky.
How many states have you lived in? 1, although I've driven from here (Florida) to Vermont, Chicago & New Mexico. And from California to Nevada. The Pacific Northwest is a huge blank space for me.
Highest level of education completed? Grad school. Contemplating going back for Ph.D.
What do you do to relax? I have two small children and a teenager. I don't relax. There was a time when playing the ukulele or doing some tai chi would do it.

What color is your hair? Fair. As in the county...
What is your favorite drink? The blood of my enemies.

Read or watch a movie? This is not a choice. The above-mentioned grad school was heavy on the film theory; when I watch movies, I'm kind of "reading" them. But really, it depends on the weather. Cold (by Florida standards) is better for books; mid-summer is time for movies.

Read or watch a movie? Read. We see movies out a few times a year and buy a lot of kid-friendly DVD's (way cheaper than taking the whole crowd to the theater - even at the matinee it's $100 a pop)
So, other stuff about me: I have 15 living children and a current homestudy burning a hole in my pocket approving me for up to 4 more . . .I live in Utah and generally like it, there's plenty of me to love, I love going to Africa, I don't like dogs, we do have pets (for the kids), even though I am VERY allergic to anything with any kind of hair or fur (except people). I am involved in politics and find that I quite like it. I find that I like it quite weird. I was an unpaid lobbyist (meaning it was a passion of mine, so I did it) to get a law passed in Utah legalizing the practice of direct-entry midwifery. Oh, and I filed my taxes today - yippee for refunds!

Read or watch a movie? I am a big reader but haven't had the time lately so I have been watching more movies, but I miss reading. (this is copied - but my sentiments exactly!)
Other than that, the basics are in my bio (live in AZ; 26 kids; 20 at home, 3 are "grown", 3 are in residential treatment centers; most have RAD and/or other mental illness. Because of older child adoption, I was a grandma on my 32nd birthday - now about to welcome a 6th grandbaby!). I love to laugh and really take only the very serious things very seriously. I'm not really good at doing anything, but I'm willing to try a whole lot - hopefully, being willing makes up for actual skill?
Better late than never, right?? I always forget to come check this forum but here are my answers!
