You immediately got my attention, Suzanne, with your introduction. I may have guessed “a swim coach” yet, not a “potty mouth.” There goes my impression of Perfect Suzanne lol – jk – You and I have #33 in common, kindred spirits. I think I have that written in my “About me.” I will think about 5 Things – not enough coffee in my veins, yet, and I will get back to you. Thank you for being one of the reasons I love this community. Happy Valentine’s Day.❤️

Hi Suzanne, Back as promised. You and I are same/similar: #2, #8 (not at all me, yet, I am in awe of you and some of the photos I have seen) #9, #12, #22 (tights, t-shirt, no bra) #23 #28 And as I had mentioned a resounding yes to #33- Big Yes to the other numbers in this list.
Possibly new information: German was my first language (speaking, reading, writing); I played and taught the piano; I wake up 3:30am (or earlier) every morning; I have run 1/2 marathons, marathons and one ultra marathon; I practised full time as a Dental Hygienist for over 25 years; Leanne and I are (sort of) kindred spirits living on the other side of the planet from each other
Have a great week, Suzanne. Fun!!

Hi Erica, I thought you were likely Swedish, not German. I always wanted to learn to play the piano and am still envious of those who can – definitely a regret. What’s with the 3:30 wake-up? Malcolm doesn’t sleep well and is usually awake by 4:30. He says he’d rather sleep, but doesn’t mind the quiet time alone. I’m with you on the ‘no bra’ thing. I have never run a marathon and I really don’t like to run. I will walk/jog sometimes, just to change up the exercise routine. Dental Hygienist explains your beautiful smile. Thanks for coming back and sharing bits about you.

Beth, with the exception of growing up military, I see lots of similarities. We take on leadership roles, love being active outdoors, and have great husbands!

Suzanne, growing up as a military brat definitely shaped me in many ways. I was the new kid in school a lot and I was very shy back then. Now, I’ll talk to anyone! I’m also very independent because there were many times right after we moved that I didn’t have a friend yet. I also got my love of travel from my Dad. We never lived close enough to grandparents to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas with them so when we have a year like last year when we can’t get the family all together it makes me sad but I’m ok with it. Summer was when we visited grandparents and cousins.

1. I married my polar opposite 38 years ago (in 11 days time) and we’re still rocking this marriage gig!
2. I changed from a dog person to a cat person (and love Scottish Folds).
3. I LOVE being a Nana – it’s so much better than I ever imagined.

Vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce! Mmmmm! I haven’t had ice cream in months. I nodded so many times when reading your list, Suzanne. I love your adventurous spirit. We have a lot in common and that dawned on me when I found five items in a row that are true for me as well:
I know how to use a variety of power tools (a small variety)
I kept a daily journal for nearly 30 years – they are all boring as hell (except for the last part here :-))
I am most comfortable in jeans, a tee-shirt and flip flops (shorts would be even better when it’s hot)
I prefer natural nails (I never paint my nails)
I hate small talk (waste of time!)
I will call ‘bulls**t when I hear it (even if I know there will be consequences). YES!
Extra:
I don’t have a freezer, an oven, or can sit upright in my bed! (That’s camper life for ya.)
I eat meat about once a week, rarely anything other than chicken.
I enjoy spicy food and international cuisines.
I hold my pee too long. Gotta go now!

Suzanne, This is fabulous. Going down your list, I see ten similarities: #9, 11, 12, 17, 21 (except the boring part), 22, 23, 24, 27 and 33.
Fun facts about me:
1) I remember my family and close friends’ birthdays and more. When I say family, I mean parents, siblings, their spouses, all my nieces and nephews. It’s a lot of birthdays.
2) I have a green thumb. When I was a kid, I grew my own small garden of lettuce, tomatoes, green beans, etc. and raised my own chicken and ducks. I rescue plants.
3) I’m an introvert who was popular in school, from elementary days and up, for my rebellious and non-conformist nature. I still have friends from elementary school.
4) I have a valid driver’s licence, and by choice have never owned a car. I’ve done road trips with rental cars. I haven’t got lost once even without GPS, and I’m good at parallel parking.
5) I don’ watch TV and by choice don’t have a TV. Nothing against watching TV. I just didn’t buy a new TV when my old one stopped working. The last TV show that I watched was Alias!
The night before I saw your post, I was musing about doing a poll and asking the Weekend Coffee Share blogging community if they want to participate in a Get To Know Blogger feature to let readers know 5 things about them. I got this idea after I read a YA novel “The Rest of The Story” by Sarah Dessen, and the two main characters did this info exchange when they first met. When I saw your post, I thought what a coincidence. It’s like you read my mind. Thank you for sharing truths about you and linking with #WeekendCoffeeShare.

Hi Natalie, I love your 5 things and can picture you as a non-conformist. I’m pretty sure you still are. You would have been best friends with my best friend in High School. I am terrible at sending birthday cards, or even remembering birthdays, for that matter – with a few exceptions. Plants have a way of dying when I go near them. Sometimes I’d like to pitch the TV. We lived without it for two years, so I know we can. Besides, who needs TV when you have the internet and blogger friends. My car lease expired just before Covid began and I have been sharing Malcolm’s car. Not sure if I will replace it when we are able to move about again. I think it was just one of those things I thought I needed.
Sorry, if I preempted your idea, but I still think it would go over very well with your readers. I’ve certainly enjoyed the participation so far.

Great idea for a post! Here are some truths about me in return:
1. I have to have my coffee fix, and it must be black and strong
2. I’ve lived in London all my life, apart from three years at university, and love it
3. I’m never happier than when travelling, or failing that, planning travels
4. I have a network of friends all over the world thanks to my 12 year membership of the now sadly closed Virtual Tourist website
5. But my husband of almost 40 years is my best friend
6. I support Newcastle United football (soccer) team – for my sins!
7. I love strong cheese, dark chocolate, salted caramel, ginger, anything with lemons – but I hate peas
8. I talk too much

Sarah, I agree about the travel and planning thing. Never happier. I don’t follow sports,(except sometimes tennis) but I understand those of you who do. We were in London one year when there was some big game going on. Apparently, a local team won,(maybe it was your team) because NO ONE went to bed that night. Black, but not strong coffee, no to dark chocolate, yes to ginger, and lemons, and any kind of cheese is a big yes. I am ambivalent about peas. I’ve never seen an elephant or a monkey, or a penguin. Man, I need to get out more often. Moderate temps work best for me too. My daughter has been trying to figure out how she can move to London and still make a living. I have no doubt that one day she will make that dream come true. Thanks for responding with your truths. This has been fun.

Love your list! I’m not sure how many I can come up with since I’m very open abut things in my blog… but I will try (and spin off your list a bit):
1. I journal every morning now, but only started about 5 years ago. And I’m thrilled someone else admits their journal entries are boring, too!
2. I am an introvert, and most folks are surprised about that as I have learned how to small talk, how to be OK in a group setting, and even to make good presentations.
3. I am a recovering pessimist.
4. I love having my toenails painted a fun color, but not my finger nails.
5. I don’t have any tattoos and only one piercing in each ear. And I am a sucker for buying hand-made unique earrings.
I love your definition of domestic goddess. I think at times that is who (what?) I want to be, but I fail at it miserably! I will keep trying – decorating, entertaining, crafting, gardening, and cooking…. those are the things I will engage in and maybe someday achieve domestic goddess status.

Pat, I have had a lot of time to practice the ‘Domestic Goddess’ thing, having been a stay-at-home mom for several years and now 15 years into retirement. Honestly, after a year of being stuck in the house, I am about ready to give that role up. I am glad you are a recovering pessimist. That doesn’t seem to suit you at all. Now that you have shown us what you really look like without the hat,(your guest post) I can see that fun earrings suit you perfectly. I like that you are open and revealing on your blog. It makes you seem all the more relatable. Erica actually referred to me as ‘perfect Suzanne’ in one of the comments above, she was joking of course, but I have to admit, I paused for a second to consider if that is how I might come across to some people through my writing. I sincerely hope not. Maybe this exercise is more useful than I originally thought it would be. Thank you for sharing your list of truths.

Hi, Suzanne – I love this list! It did help me to get to know you better. I especially appreciated your honesty, your authenticity and your individualism. In that spirit, I offer you eight areas where we are very much alike and seven areas where we could not be more dissimilar!
Alike:
1) My husband is absolutely my best friend (no doubt about it).
2) I also value authenticity and individualism, education and life-long-learning.
3) I am most comfortable in jeans (or yoga pants) a (longsleeved) tee-shirt and flip flops.
4) Natural nails are my style.
5) I don’t have any tattoos (nor do I ever plan to have any).
6) I don’t like dark chocolate — even though I have repeatedly tried to acquire a taste for it.
7) Vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce — now you’re talking!
8) Although I can sometimes lose the plot, I consider myself an eternal optimist.
Dissimilar:
1. I rarely eat red meat and almost never have it in our home.
2. I am a long way from being a domestic goddess…but I can cook.
3. You are never going to find me on a zip-line, aerial obstacle courses, paddleboard, etc.
4. Ditto for me jumping out of a plane – ain’t gonna happen!
5. Power tools and I don’t get along.
6. I kept a diary when I was about 12…and haven’t journaled since.
7. Pink is absolutely my favourite colour. I (currently) own very little clothing that is blue.
Still, I hope that we can continue to be friends! 😀

2) I was the hula hoop champion on our Alaska cruise (I didn’t get a cabin upgrade, but I did get a bottle of wine).
3) My nails have been natural since last March’s shutdown, and I’ve discovered that I like them that way.
4) Although I love to travel, I live in the same city I was born in.
5) One of my super powers is parallel parking.
6) I have a tattoo, but it is just a dot that was acquired because of radiation treatment I received in my late twenties.
7) My mom wanted to name me Leslie and my dad preferred Janis. Since I was born in January, Dad won.

Living in South Central Texas and slowly pulling up out of this winter storm. Excited to have heat and internet this morning, so here goes:

2) I was a teamster, a lifeguard and a pipe fitter apprentice before finishing college.
3) I got my Bachelors at U.C. Berkeley, then promptly moved to the South for some serious culture shock (but I love it here.)
4) My last position before retirement was managing electric reliability compliance, including working on weather related event analysis (so I am missing THAT kind of fun!)
5) I married a Canadian and even he thinks its cold here this week.

Gilda, surviving two traumatic experiences in your life must influence your lifestyle choices. I know it would mine. I pictured you as an introvert, like me. Your blog is pure delight, and I’m glad you set aside a ‘limiting’ belief to pursue something truly creative. People can be so careless with words. I think I became an ‘encourager’ because I rarely received any during my childhood. I truly appreciate everything you shared. Maybe one day we will get to have an IRL conversation. Take care.
