Really cool Lisa! Just went to your web site. Think I'll try on your books but sounds like I'll have to sleep with the lights on. LOL
 
Lisa!

I had NO idea you were an author! How great! Not sure I should confess this to you...hubby & I go to the movies EVERY Saturday night and the ONLY ones we don't go to see are the horror movies. I don't know if I could sleep after them. I might just have to buy one of your books and see if I can get past that fear! BTW, loved your "sundress passion"! Too cute!

3. I am an out and proud lesbian.

4. I have been with my partner for 19 years, and she is still the love of my life.

5. I have been doing step aerobics and Cathe tapes since 1991. A brochure that provided information on where to order the first Step-n-Motion video came with my step. I bought it and loved it, and have been buying her videos ever since.

Cool thread.

2. Was married on my 22nd birthday. We have been married almost 18 years and are happier now than we've ever been.

3. My favorite book is "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." I read it once every year. Reminds me that my life is pretty good.

4. I never wanted to be a mother, then I had 2 kids 11 months apart. They are 12 and 13 now, and the most treasured things in my life.

5. I work for a small college and love it because it makes me feel young being around all of those students.

6. I wish I knew how to sing and dance really well, but am too self-conscious to learn.

7. Hate seafood and sailing, but live in the crabcake and sailing capital of America. Go figure.

8. If I could have any job in the world I'd either be an actress or a book reviewer.

9. I have a bit of chocolate every day.
