This is why I love voiceBoks! Just one of the creative events we all get to participate in, in this exceptional community of bloggers. If you haven't joined yet, give it a try. You'll find out why...

B- Betina is my younger sister, and I am her older Bossy one.

D- Didn’t go to the Prom. Don’t like politicians. Determined always.
E- Eleventy-nine is a made up number I like to use.
F- Forgot to put my gas cap on, and drove away with it on top of my car. It was still there when I pulled into the garage.
G- Good at ping pong.
H- Have strange, sideways pinky toes.
I- In love with my husband.
J- Just can’t get enough of Justified.

U- Underwater…I’m an accomplished swimmer, and extremely comfortable in the water.
V- Volunteer as a weedwacker. We remove invasive grasses taking over our Desert. I can handle a pick ax, mind you. Very disturbed by 9/11 still. I think of the people on the planes and in the buildings at impact, and the ones who had to jump…unbearable.

I love your list Courtney!! Very impressed you help your husband with the cars. My husband and I can drive one, that's about it!! Lol! 41, you are a baby!!! Jealous you are tall with heels, even with heels I will never be called tall!! I love reading everyones take on the list, each one is always so different and fits each great lady!! So glad I have gotten to know you thourh voiceBoks!! Take care!!
You crack me up. I think my favorites on this list are "Eleventy-Nine" and the pinky thing. I also am still horrified by 9/11. Can't imagine what was going through the minds of the passengers and office workers. It's the fear that concerns me, not death. I hate to think of how fearful they were and how that impacted them psychologically and physically. Enjoyed your list!
Love the list, Courtney! I, too, like the Eleventy-Nine number. My son had something very similar to that, although now for the life of me, I can't remember what it was. But I love the made up numbers, just like the made-up times. Noon-thirty, anyone?
Kathy, my husband and I are definitely project people. We always have something going. Sometimes, I wish I were short, and then I'd buy the really tall heels!;) It's so great to know you too:)
Laura, yes, those moments up to their deaths just get me, and the actual physical pain I'm sure they felt. Especially the ones who jumped, because there had to be such heat and burning pain to do that. It is so disturbing.
Thanks so much for coming by!
Thanks Gina! I plan on using that eleventy-nine for my coming Birthdays;)
Love your list!! Yodeling is the coolest, huh? LOL, you are so funny!
Love you list! Thank goodness my car's gas cap is attached, otherwise I can see myself driving away with it on top of the car. Amazing that it stayed it on the whole way home!
This has been one of my favorite events. I really enjoyed reading your list. How cool that you performed Flamenco. I love to watch all styles of dance. I have to say I think your answer for letter Z is my favorite.
Love this! So glad to get to know you better. :) I'm also horribly afraid of sharks, because of the Jaws movies!
Blessings,

Thanks everyone for all of your great comments...so nice to read them!;)
Hey, interesting list..:)
Wow! This is so revealing and I absolutely love it! Wow! This list by far has blown me away. You are an absolutely accomplished woman. I like X the most because you are so honest! Z because that is the way I feel about my life too. Two thumbs up!
Fun to get to know you better. Now we will be waiting to find out why you are the Rock Gal.
Interesting to read! Though I'm sad there wasn't a picture of your mutant pinky toe. I have a shark fear too. Probably good I don't live by an ocean.
Always interesting to hear about the "real" person behind the blog! Everyone is so unique!
