Things {You Wish} You Didn’t Know About Me #boostyourblog

January 15, 2013 by Dawn McAlexander

Secrets ~

Naughty Secrets IMG_0781
 

Do you have anything that no one knows about you. It doesn’t have to be a secret – though, if you feel the need to share your scandalous secret here, we would love to hear it. 😉 I am not sure if I can think of anything that no one knows about me. I am just really not that interesting! However, I can think of some things that the majority of people don’t know about me.

Secrets: AKA Things You Don’t Know About Me

1) I was never a pet person until I got my pets as an adult. Now I would definitely consider myself a pet person. I have 2 dogs, 4 cats and a turtle and I love, love, love all of them,

2) I love all kinds of  music. I worked as a deejay at a country music radio station for 8 years and, because of that, many people mistakenly believe that I ONLY like country music. Some even go further and think that I only like classic country music. Not so. I love it all.

3) I don’t want a credit card. I don’t want that debt. I don’t want that temptation. And I don’t care what people think of someone who doesn’t have a credit card. Now, if only I could convince the incessant telemarketers who keep calling my house insisting that I do, in fact, want need a credit card. I’m good. Thanks anyway.

4) I read The Stand by Stephen King while I was in intermediate school. It only took me 2 weeks. I am really proud of how fast I read that – especially considering how lazy I have been with reading lately. So, I just wanted to throw that out there.

5) I started blogging out of boredom. I was in an accident and really injured my leg which left me almost totally immobilized for month. Blogging had never really crossed my mind before and I surely didn’t think you could pay bills by doing it. Who would want to read anything I had to say? Anyway, one thing led to another and here we are. And I wouldn’t change a thing.

    I am really unsure of myself which makes me indecisive.

      Mine too! I just read my 2nd favorite Stephen King book last year – 11/22//63. I have read several other books by him, but it took that many years to find another book by him that was almost as good as The Stand.

        Have you ever read Under the Dome? That’s another really great one of his.

          No, I haven’t. But my husband has and he says it is fabulous. I hope to read it this year. I am currently working on Duma Key and have been for quite some time. It is good, I am just not in the “reading mood.”

    I am a multitude of things…lol, but for the most part, I pride myself on being ethical and loyal.

    I love this challenge and I love getting to know you better. Sometimes as bloggers we only insert a little about ourselves into things like reviews, so I love any excuse to share and learn more. I’m totally wanting to do this challenge too!

    I just stumbled upon blogging too and I too wouldn’t change things for the world. God has just been so awesome. Love that you don’t believe in owning a credit card. Good for you!
