This website is a hoot, i must admit I did rather like it there...

You Belong in Rome

You're a big city girl with a small town heart Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand And gorgeous Italian men - could life get any better?

What City Do You Belong In?

me as a pin up...

You are Maryiln Monroe

A classic tortured beauty You're the dream girl of many men Yet they never seem to treat you right

What Famous Pinup Are You?

..sing a cheer for each girl in the hall...

So if you grew up with me you know but for those of you who wonder why I misspell martian on my email addresses etc this is why. They say that single sex education is better for girls, I guess in many respects I turned out ok so it worked. It definitely taught me how to be friends with other women, a skill that growing up with 2 brothers I was lacking. And it was a great place to develop academic confidence, something I'm still surprise to see many women struggle with. Still- seven years at that place, it explains a lot about me huh?

Oh, and the title is from one of our 3 school songs. I think I still know all they lyrics to them all. Yet ask me the ECG criteria for Brugada syndrome...

awwwww!

Maybe I'm just so sleep deprived I'm susceptable to this but you must check out this site. The cuteness is just overwhelming!! Happy monday!!

What's my name?!?

I was named after my Aunt Margo. While I grew up only seeing her periodically on visits it is almost eerie how much we look and act alike now. Anyway, I never knew where my dad's family came up with the name Margo, it wasn't exactly common in the mountain town he grew up in. I have just recently found out my grandmother named her after Margot Lane, a character in the old radio serial The Shadow. In the 80's it was made into a movie .

I used to dislike the distinctiveness of my name. I longed to have one of those names that when you go to a gift shop, there are decorative magnets with the name pre-printed on them. Even now although the choice of names on such items has broadened, you still won't find many things with "Margo" on it. The name has gained popularity, and it is always something that people recognize, but we have never quite made it main stream. Now I'm quite glad for that.

I never knew my fathers mother, she passed away when my dad was young. I also don't know nearly as much about her as I would like. I know she was a great cook who made a wonderful poppyseed bread. I know she was very involved in her church and many community organizations. Besides naming one child after a radio show character, at least two of her other children were named after actors she liked. And now, I am warmed by the knowledge that she was a bigger celebrity and character fanatic than I am. Some things must be genetic :).
