This page is supposed to be
for telling you interesting stuff about me
a bunch of facts I could make up
and you could never call my bluff
but I was raised to tell the truth
so take my words as written proof
I’ve had “Liebster” six whole times
So now that I’m immune it’s fine.
I’m from the land down under,
the apple island state,
I’m made of random memories,
I struggle with my weight,
I’m past the mid-way of my life,
I was my husbands βthird-time-luckyβ wife,
I have a bunch of secrets,
they’re on the other page,
I’m not what you call placid,
I have computer rage,
I didn’t want to do this,
to write it all in verse
but this is how my brain thinks,
I’m full of funny quirks
So now I’ve shared this moment,
you’ve read right to the end
If you’d care to, leave a comment,
we might end up as friends.
Well, it made me laugh – does that mean we could be friends?

I live in the best place in Tassie, the Huon Valley. We do have good food (even if I just eat garbage most of the time!).
