Okay - I will do it!

Why not?!  

"Dear Nicole:  We are from New Orleans but live in Japan now.  We read all things New Orleans and your blog is one that we look at daily.  We love to see the pet pictures and we like to see the random shots of the streets of New Orleans.  You post a little about yourself but we want to know more.  Can you tell us three things we would never know from the blog. Just for fun.  We will see if you read your  comments! NOLA4LIFE. Mike & Michelle"

Sure Mike and Michelle but I am a huge bore.  I will not count that as one.  

1.  I have always wanted to own a company.  My Father owned his own company so I saw just how hard it was to do but how rewarding it was as well.  He worked constantly but balanced it well with the time he spent with us.  He is such a hard worker and I think he taught us to be as well.  He is the true example of do it well and it will come back to you time and time again.  

2.  We are all adopted in my family.  Not only are we all adopted but my Parents were "interim Foster Parents".  When the State of Louisiana was called in to intervene when children were involved, they would often end up at our house in transition time.  I can not tell you the number of children that were in and out of our home.  I would have to ask my Mom...  It was very hard because you became so emotionally attached.  I think that is why I have so little patience with anyone giving up anything but an understanding that sometimes, things happen that people can't always control and that sometimes both children and pets are so much better off somewhere else.

3. I have never EVER EVER EVER had a manicure or a pedicure.  

How did I do?  

Thanks so much for being a blog reader.  350/400 read it a day and it just shocks me but I love it!
