Hello, Darlings! You're back! That is both lovely and amazing. Aren't you just the best readership group EVER? I have to tell you right now, I think the world of you all and I'm so glad that our blog paths have crossed. If we weren't so geographically dispersed, I'd be organizing a bowling team right now. Or maybe a pub crawl. Or sewing bee...
For those of you just tuning in, we're on Day 3 of the 70 Most Something Facts about The Baroness vonB. Please don't adjust your sets - unless you want to ramp up the vertical to make me appear taller and less pear-shaped.
[Note to the young, hip, and blogging-savvy: I'm trying, really trying, to keep it brief. But the fact I'm incredibly undisciplined (oops, I just gave away # 39 away) makes me unable to do so. Most find this annoying; some find it charming. The others - they're just too cool. Really. Take it or leave it, hon. I'm not pointing a gun at your head here.]

49. I am extremely curious. About everything. Few things, in fact, escape my scrutiny.
48. While my sons seem to view me as some bohemian, time-challenged hippy chick, truth of the matter is that I look at everything pretty scientifically.
47. I love shoes! And have since I was 3 years old, and bitched at my mother for not buying me 2 pairs instead of just the one that I needed.
As I've gotten older and be-bunioned (kind of like bedazzled, but not so shiny), I'm starting to admire shoes from afar, and regard some of them simply as stunning works of art. Not the implements of torture that they probably are.
46. I am a muller. I. categorically, am absolutely useless at thinking on my feet (regardless of what loveliness they're clad in).
45. I'm tough , but I'm weak.
44. A former boss told me "Some people want to change the world. You want to redecorate it".
This statement is true. Sad, but true.
43. I am a control freak, and on a day-to-day basis have to curb my inclination to take over anything at least 37 times.
42. I'm a list maker (oh, the irony). Every morning, I make a list of the day's (I Don't Want) To Do's. It's usually long, with many sub-headings, and if I get halfway through, it's been a good day.
41. My favorite mystery authors include Faye and Jonathan Kellerman, Rick Mofina, Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich, Tim Cockey, and Sarah Shankman.
40. I love the idea of small towns, but think that you have to be born and raised in one to fit in.
