I always find writing about ‘me’ and me only (sans my opinions) a hard thing to do.
I am sure many bloggers find their ‘About Me’ pages the hardest to write, as blogs and journals grow their content organically. You cannot write the synopsis to the novel until the story is complete, as they say (or did I just make that up)?
So, until I am longer in the tooth, I thought I’d share these silly facts about me so you can (hopefully) feel like you know me a little better.
This info is also on my FAQ’s page, because as you’ll note, I do not have any frequently asked questions yet.
This is unashamedly the time when I ask you to ask me anything you want so I can fill this page out a little better.
I’ll promise to answer, well, the answerable questions anyway!
If you have any questions for Mrs Stepford, please contact me, I’d be very happy to hear from you.
Until then, here I am in all my glory.
100 little things about Mrs Stepford.
1. I am addicted to buying kitchen items and am always on the look-out for the latest gadgets and utensils.
2. My favorite flowers are daffodils – I especially love the small scented white ones. Daffodils remind me of Spring.
3. Spring is my favorite season; I love the fresh bright mornings and clear blue skies. Not to mention all the baby animals, the soft spot for spring however is the fact that despite it being mild weather and sometimes warm enough for a dress, my hay fever is non-existent!
4. I am obsessed with beauty products – hair products, skin products, and make-up – and am always buying it. I am a huge sucker for mascara.
5. I cannot leave the house without mascara. I don’t remember the last time I did, and I reckon I will be wearing it on my death bed, if I get my way.
6. I am afraid of large spiders, open heights and deep water. Who isn’t?
7. I have had a million jobs, and never really lasted long at any of them, I think I have an issue with authority and being told what to do, my parents would testify to that.
8. My Mother looked at me on the day I was born and said she thought I’d grow up to be a writer, said my brother would be good with sciences, she wasn’t wrong.
