Miss Alexander, my second grade teacher. She was the one who realized that my difficulty with some things in school was due to my being left-handed. She took the time to teach me how to function in a right-handed world. Everyone needs a teacher who sees you for the intellient person you are instead of stupid just because you saw things differently. If not for her I would never have developed my love of books. She was the one taught me how to read properly. When I first learned to read I read right to left instead of left to right. My first grade teacher just thought I was stupid. (I'm so glad they passed me into second grade.)

When the zipper broke on my wedding dress. So embarassing!

It's still my greatest fear. SNAKES! Many a poor innocent snake died because it was the only way mom could get me to stop screaming. I still scream if I come across a snake unexpectedily. But at least I no longer demand it's death. In fact if I see a picture of one in a magazine when not expecting it...well you'd better duck because that magazine is going flying.
