Tammie's Story
I would like to be remembered as a good listener and as a funny friend
I always wanted to be a writer when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were who knows? I never tried.
My best friend and I got a little intoxicated (!) before a senior field trip to the zoo. I know it was a stupid thing to do now, but then it seemed like a blast.
I have never lived more than 1/2 hour from the house I grew up in. My husband and I lived in Stewartstown, PA for over 10 years before we moved to our current home in Loganville, PA.
I think the most surprising thing about life is waking up one day and realizing you are 45 years old ! I still feel like I'm 20 in my head.
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel my kitchen and add on a finished basement. My dream home would be in a neighborhood full of friends for my daughter, with a hot tub in the back yard.
I've learned that it is much harder to be a parent than I could have ever imagined. I didn't realize I had so much love and pride to give to another person.
I had a lot of teachers that meant a ...Expand for more
lot to me, and I have kept in touch with them over the years. Mrs Hanna, my first grade teacher inspired my love of reading and I still see her from time to time.
If I won $100 million, I'd give some of it to my daughter's school and our church, then spend the rest on my family, friends and charity.
My current age is 45. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be ancient and boring. I was so completely wrong.
My best friend would tell you I'm shy, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as very out-going.
I share my home with my husband, my daughter and my dog, which I find to be entertaining.
If I had one do-over, I would have gone to college and pursued a career in journalism or some other writing.
My oldest friend, Dawn, has been there since we met in first grade. We just hit it off right away and have remained close ever since. We work at the same company and chat several times a week.
My first job was at Sears, where I got paid not much to sell shoes and men's clothing. What I remember most about it is having fun and meeting new people.
