All About Janis

My Blogging Buddy Em over in Yorkshire United Kingdom did a post on It's All About Me Me Me and I enjoyed it quite well. Reminded me of some Blogging awards many of us passed around a year or so ago, so this may be a repeat kind of posting for some of you to read about me. But I'm doing it anyway. It may be new to some of you.

1* ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

Janis Paige 1960's

My Mom tells me that she liked two names for me. Susie and Janis. She chose Janis. At the time of my birth was an Actress named Janis Paige which she admired greatly.

2* WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
This afternoon. I was driving along, had a hard morning and a song by Mercy Me, and I just started crying. The song was what I needed to move on.

3*  DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Well duh! If you read my Blog you probably know this because I talk about them all the time.  They actually aren't kids anymore. Emily is 22 and Andrea is 20.

Annie 20 & Emily 22

I don't think I do...But my Hubby says, YES. I think sarcastic but watch my mouth.

Absolutely Computer! The Internet is such an amazing tool.  I am so grateful for it.

14*  WHAT'S THE FURTHEST FROM HOME YOU HAVE BEEN?
I haven't been too many places.

I've been to Mexico (border town), Texas, Utah, Florida, New York, and everything in between. Hopefully one day I can really go see the world. I would love to go to Italy, United Kingdom. Australia, and several other places!
