I LOVE these things!

Tiffany,

I just added your meme to my alphabetical meme list.  Check it out when you get a chance.

Lucky :)

Good job.  But one of your photos isn't loading.  I agree whole heartedly on point 5.

Tiffany, what a wonderful and positive post. I love your spirit and your go for it attitude. Welcome, and thanks for sharing.

  

Tiffany - forgive me if I do not know where or how to respond to your "meme" inquiry - so I will attempt to do so here.

I am originally from Minneapolis, although I have lived in Florida for most of adult life.  I have traveled to 47 of the states (lacking Alaska, Maine and Vermont).  I am not a fan of the Florida summers or the hurricanes - but, on balance, I have enjoyed being here in Central Florida.

I have a degree in Political Science and a law degree, although I no longer practice law directly.  I found that I love the law but I am not very fond of lawyers.  My personal blog at www.cadfael.net continues to address legal issues, the Supreme Court, various political questions and more important topics like my predictions for the content of the next and last Harry Potter book due out in a few weeks (don't expect any AR posts or comments that day - I will be reading).

Technology fascinates me.  I have worked in technical fields (telephone and computers), but tend toward business applications of computer technology.  I have had a personal computer (or any number of them actually) since 1980 which means I predate IBM's entry into the PC market and MS-DOS.  (does the word dinosaur come to mind?).  I am permanently attached to the internet.  I don't even remember where I went for information BG (before google). 

My reading these days tends toward the technical or political.  I enjoy audio books which make windshield time in the car almost worthwhile.  I tend to be satisfied so long as I can learn a new technology or software application or have a rational conversation with someone every day (not as easy as it sounds).  I constantly seek input on some level.

I have friends who have done business in Costa Rica (ferns and flowers) but I have not taken the opportunity to travel there as yet.  I would enjoy the trip - also looking forward to traveling to British Columbia.  My mini-vacations get me as far as the Ocean Reef Club in the Florida Keys.  I used to be in the real estate business there.  Sub-tropical island paradise with the Miami airport 1 hour away by car if the weather turns bad. 

I completely agree with your numbered paragraph 5, as I believe people are more important than things - and certainly more memorable. 

I am currently licensed in real estate, mortgages, life insurance and securities.  I have been a pilot and a scuba diver (talk about ups and downs). I should probably give some thought to what I want to do when I grow up one of these days - but it has been so interesting along the way, I hadn't given it a thought.

Thanks Tiffany for the inquiry.  It has been fun to meet some really great professional people on AR.  I had the pleasure of meeting Matt and Caleb from AR Corporate and some of the Florida members at the recent birthday bash.  Perhaps we will find a way to get together live with the California group and others in the near future. 

Take care

 

You are my hero!  Oh what fun to be meme'd!  I like your post very much and can't wait to work on writing something about me although I know there are much more interesting things to write about and then I will meme some people too.  Thanks, this is really fun and it was interesting trying to find out what meme'd actually means.  It was clear, once I read your post.
