1. I'm ENTP---I don't know why they don't include "teacher" in career possibilities.
http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTP_car.html2. I have a blog about my parents and ancestors--it's my homage to them. It keeps them alive.

3. I have a blog about me and my life.

4. I love poetry---especially Langston Hughes and other Harlem Renaissance Poets.
5. On aptitude tests, I score high in math and mechanics despite dyscalculia (dyslexia with numbers).
6. I majored in English and German---language is more my thing.
7. I started 3 Master's degrees---English at SIUE; English as Second Language at SEMO and Reading at UMSL (that one I finished)
8. I get bored easily. I love learning. I enjoy problem-solving and challenges.
9.. My daughters have Biblical names---Rebecca, Rachel and Leah (but I loved the names before I knew they were part of the same Biblical story which included my namesake Jacob)
10.I have a collection of books on King Arthur and yet I also love science fiction.
11. I originally wanted to be a Bible Scholar or an Archaeologist---my mother said, "You'll be an English teacher---you can always get a job."
12. I met my husband at church (but he didn't remember me), at a party (but he didn't remember me), on a double-date (but he didn't remember me), at Collegiate Club----he didn't forget me after that.
13. My husband remembers my car in high school---a Studebaker coupe---but not me. What does that say about him and me?
14. I had a hard time being called "Mrs. Morgan" because Dave's mother was my high school librarian---she was "Mrs. Morgan."
15. I'm an Anglophile.
16. When it came time for me to choose a language---I didn't like the Spanish teacher (and thought Spanish was too easy), my mother wouldn't let me take Latin ("it's a dead language"), I didn't want to learn French from someone who was from Alabama (I thought I'd speak French with an Alabama accent), the Russian teacher got pregnant, so I took German (I had had the teacher and loved her).
17. I enjoyed teaching students with problems more than teaching German and Shakespeare.
18. I love water---drinking it, swimming in it, watching it, feeling it, listening to it.
19. Crafts, sewing, handwork give me anxiety.
20. Gardening, a walk outside, sitting on a balcony at the beach (or on a cruise ship) relax me.
21. I have a green Beetle.
22. Middle school kids energize me.
23. I don't like large crowds or traffic---NYC is the antithesis of Heaven.
24. I used to be afraid of palm trees---I think it had to do with another life :)
25. I don't just love my family---I love being with them!
26. If I can't dance to it, music serves no purpose---as a child I'd leave my seat at the St. Louis Symphony, go to the back aisle and dance.
27. I love musicals but if they have sing-a-longs, why can't they have dance-a-longs?
28. I was a gymnast until my mid-20's---I loved the uneven bars but not the balance beam.
29. I love salty-sweet-crunchy: chocolate chip cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, Reese's peanut butter cups, s'mores.
30. There's a lot I don't get about people. How can people be for Capital Punishment and against abortion---isn't a life a life?
31. How can people allow divorce, but be against homosexual marriage because they believe in the sanctity of marriage?
32. How can people be for "Law and Order" and for concealed weapons---if only the "good guys" carry weapons, then aren't they vigilantes?
33. How can people say they don't believe in sex outside of marriage, but won't let homosexuals marry?
34. How can Christians be against Socialism? "Love thy neighbor. . ." Loaves and fishes. "Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor."
35.I am for life, for helping people, for marriage, for the "outcasts" and underdogs and for peace; I'm OK with people who don't believe in those things---I just can't tolerate hypocrites.
