Hmmm. Going to post 8 random facts about myself. I will try:
1) I was the last one in my kindergarten class to learn how to tie my shoes. My Mom still has the gold cardboard shoe with my name on it that I finally received when I mastered the difficult task! LOL
2) Zippers and Escalators make me nervous. Zippers because I could never zip properly when I was young and always had button up coats because of it. Escalators because one time my rubber boot got caught in one at Sears. No damage to my foot but the boot was mangled.
3) I've worked for the same company for 23 years. (Whoa!!)
4) My Dad wanted to name me Deidre Ann when I was born, but my Mom named me Kathleen Elsa (her middle name too). She saved me from being a Dee Dee!!! Plus I have to very cool initials of KEG!!! : )
5) I met Anthony Edwards at the Williams Inn in Williamstown, MA when one of my friends was going to school there. He was in a play called 'Speed the Plow' at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. It was after his 'Top Gun' days...so of course the only thing I could come out with was "I cried when Goose died!" LOL
6) I have identical twin brothers. Growing up there were FIVE sets of twins on our street; including on either side of our house.
7) I am a scrapbooker and started in 2001. I love to take photos so it was easy to start!
8) I'm a huge U2 fan. I've been lucky to see them up and down the East Coast as well as in Hawaii, Ireland and England. Where will I see them next???!!!

If you were independently wealthy, where in the world would you live?
Submitted by Eileen.That's easy!!

Comments: The full list of Vertigo Tour dates shows on screen during City of Blinding Lights, ending with "131. Honolulu." The band stops to bring a fan on stage during Angel of Harlem, but the fan wants to play Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - on piano. So, they do, with U2 struggling to get through the impromptu set list addition. Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong plays and sings on The Saints Are Coming. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready join U2 for Rockin' In The Free World. The show ends with the band embracing their stage crew as they leave the stage one at a time. Larry gets the final word: 'See you soon.'
Show us your favorite arts & crafts project.
This was one of my favorite classes EVER! It was with Emily Falconbridge! She is a wonderful teacher and so VERY creative! I've got Hawaii photos in this cool project. It makes me smile every time I look at it!
What's the longest flight on an airplane you've ever taken? What was the best part? ...And the worst?
The longest flight I've taken was from Boston to Honolulu. Six hours from Boston to LAX and then six more hours from LAX to Honolulu. Did it in April and December of 2006.
The best part was arriving in sunny Hawaii !!!
The worst part was the time it took to get there! LOL!
Show us your dream winter escape.
Thanks for reminding me Vox.....
Hawaii is my dream winter escape!
Last year at this time I was waking up in Honolulu after seeing U2 at Aloha Stadium the night before! Man doesn't time go by too fast?!
Where is the farthest you have ever been away from home? Did you get homesick?
Submitted by Melissa.The farthest I've been away from MA has been Hawaii.
It was last year to see U2 in Bonolulu in December.
Did I get homesick? Hmm. Let's see. December in MA is cold and blustery; while Hawaii is warm and sultry! Sooo...that's a NO to the homesick question!! : )
Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon or a helicopter? Where did you go?
I thought about going up on a helicopter tour in Hawaii last year Vox. But, then I saw the prices ($$$$$) and decided better stay on the ground.
Plus I promised my Mom I wouldn't go up in one anyway. I'm sure she wouldn't want this kind of phonce call while I'm on vacation.
So to answer your question Vox..No I haven't.
