A Little About Diana 2

It's the end of February so it's time for the next installment of A Little About Diana.

This month I am going to answer questions that people put in comments on my January post. Yikes....I just counted and there are 7!! Feel free to ask more...it gives me something to write about.

Lorraine asked~ How did you and your husband meet? At the time I was working for MWR (provided rec/support for military families) and volunteering at an outside concert at the 32nd St. Naval Station in San Diego. I was on the look out for cute guys and saw him. I sent someone over to let him know I wanted to meet him. We were an instant item and within 2 weeks people said we were going to get married. So yes, I picked him up!

Together 2 months 1989

Beth asked~ What is one of your guilty pleasures? Watching (contrived) reality shows and making fun of the stupid contestants! Right now it's The Bachelor! Oh, and carbohydrates!!

Jemma said~  I will share something about me- I too have lived in Hawaii and my 2nd daughter was born at Tripler Army Hospital in Honolulu! Have you ever gone back to the Islands? Our first son was born at Tripler! We lived in housing between Tripler & the airport. We went back in 2002 for his 9th birthday. We saw some old friends and really enjoyed our time! Haven't been back since!

Linda said~ I would like to you to share what you enjoy most about blogging and also what types of blogs grab your attention? I have to be honest here and say that the first thing I notice about a blog is the design. I've been designing blogs for 5 years now and it's just habit. A great design really sticks out to me. I also look at how they are laid out and if they are disorganized or cluttered. I do look beyond the design and at the content. I love seeing people's creations. While Diana Rambles is not really a specific account of my life, I like using blogs to document life. Here is our Alaska Trip blog from 2010.

Amy said~ Tell us your most embarrassing moment. Oh gosh! My hubby & I were at a friends wedding and the top of my outfit totally popped open when we were on the dance floor.

This was the dress, worn here to a different event 1991

Bethany said~ Tell us about living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. How did your kids like it? How old is your eldest child? We lived there for 4 months in 2001. My boys were 7 & 2 at the time. It was actually tough on the oldest one because he was pulled away from his friends. We had moved to Texas 2 years before that, so it was his 2nd school change in a few years. The boys got a TON of attention everywhere we went. People wanted to touch them and thought the older one was in movies in the USA.

J asked~ Since you asked, I'd love to know how you got be such an outgoing, friendly person. Did you do crazy, fun things with your siblings when you were young? What was a typical summer day like when you were a child? I grew up in a big dysfunctional family. Joking around was how we functioned. We lived in Phoenix, so we'd go out exploring on bikes or go swimming all the time.

My dad always made us take pictures lined up by age or height. 1986?

Thank you for the award, Wanda Ann!
