Starting the Memior

I am a thirty something married woman.  I am college educated, work a corporate job and have no children.  My life is pretty uneventful compared to celebrities, I suppose. 

I can say, however, I have never been in the following
1.  Rehab
2.  Jail (there was an incident at 16 years old, but I'll tell you about that later)
3.  A Liar (I'd like to think not)
4.  An only child (Oh yes, there will be lots about this)
5.  Divorced
6. A mother (more details to come)
7.  Perfect
8. A good singer

I am the following:
1.  Fairly intelligent
2.  A daughter
3.  A wife
4.  A sister
5.  A twin (this is always very interesting)
6.  An Aunt
7.  A daughter-in-law
8.  A friend
9.  Optimistic
10.  Incredibly hard on myself
11.  A dog owner
12.  Lefthanded

I will admit the following:
1.  I would be a terrible housewife
2.  I have extremely high expectations of others
3.  Dinner is usually sandwiches
4.  My dogs should get more bath time and walks
5.  I love my family
6.  I love my husband
7.  I feel that I am unforgettable

So . . . . . I think I have enough baggage to start my memior.  I am not completely sure how this is going to go, but I would like to talk about how I grew up, being a twin, how I got where I am (or where I am not) and how to stay married through some of the most difficult times of ones life.

Speaking of marriage, or really men, the best advice my mother ever gave me - actually two peices of advice when I was a teenager:
1.  When choosing a boyfriend - be very very picky. 
2.  Marry a man who knows how to fix things. 

I took her advice very seriously and tried to follow it.  So good so far.

If you read this blog - there is more to come and thank you.
