I just looked through some of the stuff I wrote and I suppose if you didn’t know me personally you might think I am always doing everything right. Here are some things you may not know about me:
1. Last weekend while camping I ate lips and a**holes. Like for real, full on Oscar Mayer gas station pack of hot dogs type of wiener …On a white bun. I had to chew it fast so I couldn’t feel the crunch of a toenail or something. But I still ate it, and then got super sick. I do things like that from time to time. I like to think it’s because I’m human.
2. My daughter is a self appointed bad word police on the payroll. She’s filthy rich.
3. I was such a sweetheart as a teenager my mom sent me to boarding school.
4. Thanks to the boys at ND I learned super skills like how to pack a tin of chew. I think that’s the skill that roped my husband in.
5. I loved to play rugby until a really big, really fast chick hit me and I broke my ankle.
6. Not to brag or anything but I’m a bitchin runner, just not as fast as that chick who hit me.
7. I know how to catch, bonk and fillet fish. Preferably trout.
8. I am half Irish and half Native. ‘Nuff said…
9. I am intensely private. The book I wrote spilled out of me and I really had no choice because it feels like fate. When I found out I had to market it (Duh) I lost my hair. That was hard for a princess like me.
10. I like to play dress up but around my family I wear pajama bottoms, my husband’s old t shirt, and zero makeup.
11. I miss Slurpees the most.
12. I adore my kids, I even had their names tattooed on my ribs.
13. If we meet, please don’t say “I usually don’t eat like this.” Know why? I don’t care, for real. I have some strong opinions on things like dairy, soy, wheat, corn and GMOs and I share that info because some of it might help you. But I know that you are taking in what you want, and doing what you feel is best for you. I respect that.
14. I’m a warrior and I am not giving up the fight to fix this Earth for our children. I don’t concern myself with the how. Maybe that’s a good thing.
Hope that helps,
Penny
I love it when people are willing to take the risk to be real online… So many people I know paint one picture (perfection) online. I think the message sinks in so much better for those who understand that we are also learning and going through the challenges (or have in our past at any rate)… Thanks for sharing some of the personal side of you Penny. It will inspire that many more people to strive to be their best.
In Joy! Rose-Anne
Awww….Penny I love you even more! Thanks for keeping it real; I respect that. Karen Adams
