The 411: 35 Fun Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Me

First and foremost, let me just give praises to my Almighty Lord and Savior!

I’m 35 and I’m ALIVE! Woo-hoo!

“I’m all the way up and nothing can stop me!” Ayyyee!

Over the past couple of years, you guys (yes, you Xpressionists!) have been reading my posts and engaging with me here at the virtual town of Blog Xpressions.

I do have a kick-booty “about me” page outlining who I am and the purpose behind the curtains of Blog Xpressions.

In honor of my 35th birthday, I thought it would be pretty cool to list out 35 things that you probably didn’t know about me.

I hope you have fun reading them and I am certain that most of you fall into these same categories!

Leggo!

5. Matlock – I love Andy Griffith’s character on this show. Reminds me a little bit of my grandpa in some ways. Very smart, frugal and wise. And a little grumpy at times.

(1) Thing That Surprised Me (Still does)

1. I participated in the 2003 Miss Houston USA competition. Loved watching pageants growing up and I decided to participate. I had a little fun. Definitely not what I imagined. I was hoping for Miss Congeniality vibes. NOT! I will say it was pretty awesome competing with former Miss USA, Crystal Stewart, who is now an actress on Tyler Perry’s, For Better or For Worse. 

(3) of my greatest achievements

1. Discovering the powers of GOD at an early age (this deserves its own blog post!) “I luh God, you don’t luh God, what’s wrong with you?” Love that song!

5. “Hey, you’re such a beautiful woman, can I take you out sometime?” (No, for real, I get that ALL the time. Hubby, are you still reading this? I promise I say, “no, I’m married!”)

So, what do you think? Do we have any commonalities? I’m sure we do. Share them in the comments below and also share a little something about YOU. This will make a great conversation.
