Homeschool Memoirs #10: 10 Timely Facts
Written by Miss Jocelyn on October 22, 2008
THEME
The time will be changing again. I think on Sunday but not sure. Anyhow this is our 10th Homeschool Memoirs so this week it’s going to be about 10 timely facts about you! Write 10 interesting, crazy, weird, fun facts about you! Include facts about you as a woman, a wife, a mommy, a homeschooler, a homekeeper, a taxi-driver, a cook, etc . I only put 10 facts because I didn’t want to overwhelm you, but you’re welcome to do more! I just posted 101 Facts about myself on my blog, which you can take a look at if you should like.
Ok, I read all of the girls posts before they read them and I was reading some of Jocelyn’s 101 Facts, cracking up. So, this should be fun! We will definitely get to know each other! HA!

Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD:”

Oh . . . wow. How did you think of so many things? I struggled to come up with 10. But now that I think about it, I guess I could have stolen your numbers: 18 (mine live across the street), 22 (love those historicals for “education”), 26 (I review for TOS, too!), and 56 (we raised Nubians years ago).

I just stole Jocelyn’s list b/c I was too lazy to write my own! 8O! LOL!
Be Thou My Vision is currently playing while I typing this (from your playlist, that is) and I just love that song. Boy, I do love a lot of hymns, don’t I. I always find myself saying, “That is one of my favorites!!!”

You managed to come up with 94, WOW
It took me longer to come up with my 10 than it did to so last week’s assignment. This one was definitely harder for me.

Wow! You were able to write so much about yourself! I did more than 20, and I keep thinking of things…so I’ll probably go back and add them. I love cloth diapers too! I didn’t use them with my daughter but am doing so w/ my son.
