I was born in Virginia, and given to the Children's Home Society and then adopted.
I grew up in Baltimore, basically spent my childhood there til' I went away to college and got married.
I grew up in Baltimore, basically spent my childhood there til' I went away to college and got married.
Choir and drama were basically my life in high school, and oh yeah, church too.
I married Larry when he was 19, and I was 20.
We had Dustin at 22, Jordan at 23, Savanna at 30.
Mine and Larry's first dog, together was Smitty but he ran away.
My dog when I was a kid was a golden retriever named Kelly.
My cat was named Grizabella.
I have been married almost 20 years. Anybody who knows me for more than five minutes knows this.
I like my husband. I think he's the funniest, smartest, sexiest man in the world.
I had to drop out of kindergarten. I was too sick to finish. This really has not affected my life.
I love mashed potatoes. They are my favorite food.
Lazy people drive me crazy. If I am around them for too long I start shaking.
I never had any cavities until I moved to Florida.
I hate needles. I'd rather do practically anything than get one.
I love singing alto. I would much rather sing alto than lead worship but my husband loves it when I lead and feels lost when I don't.
I live in the most beautiful place in the world.
I miss steamed crabs. They don't taste the same in FL as they do in MD.
One of my best friends died of AIDS. I still miss him a lot.
I miss my grandma the most.
I love teapots.
I love to worship.
I sang my first solo in public when I was 4.
I used to idolize Vestal Goodman when I was a little kid. (Still think she's great!)
If I could only do one thing in life it would be write.
I'm always trying to break a bad habit.
I like Martha Stewart.
I really get weary of dishonest people. I just don't have the energy for them.
Head games drive me crazy. I usually just back away from people who play them - for good.
If I wasn't a pastor I'd probably be a high school teacher.
I'm a very affectionate person.
My favorite pizza is olive and mushroom.
I love the Gaither Homecoming tour.
Jim Carrey is my favorite comedian.
I enjoy riding my bike.
I love to laugh.
I was president of the choir/chorale in high school.
My high school teachers had a huge influence on me.
I love to listen to TD Jakes preach.
I worry about being too hard AND too easy on my kids.
I feel like a terrible parent most of the time.
The best memories of my life are those I've made with my husband.
I like my inlaws.
Shindler's List is one of my favorite movies though very difficult to watch. My second favorite movie is Ghosts of Mississippi. I think these top my favorites list because of my core values.
I love to read and have to do it every day - no matter what.
The devil really hates me.
I was a waitress in college.
I love dreaming - wide awake.
I hate weeding.
I like taking naps with my family.
My friends in high school would never believe what my bra size is now. (Darn it, why didn't I go to that school reunion? If I did, I would not sign in now as Deanna Doss, simply as 36DD)
I go to church even on vacation. I love to see what other churches are doing.
I love country music, 60's 70's and 80's songs, and some oldies, especially Frank Sinatra.
Larry and I love to go to New York City.
I really love my bed. It is king size, pillow top, with down comforter and down pillows. (pink and mint green.)
I love to set a beautiful table especially with my burgandy rose china.
I really like cool watches.
I find it easy to believe in most other people.
I love coffee and tea.
I love pictures.
I'll never divorce my husband, although I understand why some people get divorced.
I think serving is the most awesome thing ever. It's what gives life meaning.
I love creating. How can you not be creative when serving the CREATOR?
I love movie coke.
I love going to the movies - was never allowed as a kid - you know, pentecostal holiness atmosphere... and all that junk.
Little things mean a lot to me.
I am really honest, and would be even more so openly if my husband really didn't care what I said...but he does. It's this thing of keeping his job that means so much to him. And the fact that we have to eat. :-)
If I get really stressed out or angry I get sick or at least a whole mouth full of canker sores. I know that's gross and probably more than you wanted to know.
I am extrememly sentimental.
I like getting excited over things. In fact, I love screaming and shouting over stuff.
Blah people just bore me to tears.
Pie is my favorite dessert.
I love bold colors.
I try hard not to worry.
My biggest fear in life is not making a difference.
I got my first car at 38.
I've worked hard all my life.
I could cook dinner for my family from the time I was about 7 years old. Learned sitting on grandma's counter while she cooked. But somehow still can't do a pie crust as good as she did -- still trying.
I had a tremendous amount of responsibility as a kid.
I try to let my kids have a lot more fun than I did and not have to bear the weight of such responsibility at such a young age.
I buy myself flowers sometimes.
I usually don't wait for other people to do nice things for me - if I need something emotionally, I just do it for myself (ex: flowers, getting myself something special, etc.) I believe if you expect things from people all the time you will be disappointed a lot. So just be surprised when they do nice things.
If I could do anything and time and space were of no consequence, I would go back and have a long talk with my grandma and take a nap with her like we used to after school.
I like it when Larry surprises me.
As much as I like being loud I also like getting quiet. Yes, I'm extreme if you haven't figured that out yet.
I don't understand people who sell out for money. People mean everything to me, and the things of God. People who sell out miss out.
I like a very clean atmosphere.
It drives me crazy when people interrupt me when I'm writing. I hate getting out of rhythm.
I've always got several projects going at the same time.
I finally have my purpose figured out.
I'm afraid I'll miss something.
I analyze the daylights out of things.
Boundaries in relationships are really hard for me.
If I get enough solitude, I like to be around people.
I love Christmas time.
JC Penney is my favorite store. I love "Worthington" clothes. They fit just right.
I love to read I and II Timothy and Titus to remind me of what I'm supposed to be doing. I always forget.
My kids think I'm a wingnut a lot of the time but that's okay.
I don't do well at team sports.
I'm lost without my briefcase.
I can get along with most people. Unless they are completely pompous, pharasaical, "religious" and legalistic. In that case, I usually just start praying they take interest in another church.
Okay that's it -- goodnight. That was enough mindless chatter to prepare me to go to the grocery store and then night night.
