I had two friends give me the number 10 (yes--TEN!!!) for this little game (thanksalot Kim Underwood Olson and Julie Ezola Hyde!) :)
Stuff about moi...
1. Let's start at the beginning. I was almost born on the Golden Gate Bridge (so the story goes if my mom is telling it). We lived in Napa, but my hospital was in SF, thus Mom's (and my) near-birth experience on the GG bridge.
2. When I was a kid, I wanted to marry The Fonz when I grew up.
3. If I was stuck on a desert island and was only allowed two things, I'd have to choose Chapstick and diet Coke. It is, what it is...
3. I've watched the movies Becoming Jane and Miss Potter more than I'd like to admit.
4. I can eat any food on this planet except for sweet potatoes. Just the smell of them makes me wanna Ralph.
5. Between steps, halves, and wholes, I have 10 sisters, and 3 brothers--for reals.
6. I'd rather be dancing...
7. Growing up, I thought I wasn't smart. In reality, I was lazy. I failed senior composition in high school (or should I say, gave up the last semester of my senior year), but went on the get A's in college English classes. I have 8 published novels for children and teens.
8. I like my chili with crackers (or crackers with my chili).
9. I have this secret wish to form my own rock band with Paul McCartney on bass guitar, Prince and Lenny Kravitz on Lead guitar, Phil Collins on drums, Billy Joel and Elton John taking turns on piano (because who can choose?), and me playing a mean tambourine. Lead vocals??? No idea... :)
10. I firmly believe that happiness is a choice...and I choose happy.
Tamra Torero is Wife to Paco, Momma to nine, Grandma of two, Bakery Manager, author of Shayla Witherwood: A Half-Faerie Tale and co-author of a Christmas novel,The Lost Son, with her son, Preston Norton. If she were pressed to come up with a number 11, it would be that her greatest desire in life is to be a stay-at-home mommy/writer...and BFF of JK. Just sayin'.
