Thirteen Things about Me

Naturally the first thirteen things should be about me, so here goes:

1. My mom got my name from the Biblical name, Naomi


2. My husband calls me “Noyt” because of our then toddler , Lauren who couldn’t pronounce “noem”.

3. I am the second among 7 siblings.

4. I became interested in computers in 1980.

5. I cannot drive without pop music playing inside the car.

6. I exercise almost everyday at the fitness center.

7. I spend two hours at the gym for my ME time.

8. I feel younger now at 49 than I’ve ever felt in the past.

9. I like closing real estate deals but hate the paperwork after the deal is closed.

10. I have simple joys: relaxing, talking , eating at home with healthy family members.

    Welcome to TT. I’m new too – my second week. I can’t drive without music playing in the background – doesn’t have to be 80s though. I usually just plug in my iPod now.

    I like your name. Who’s Naomi na nga in the Bible? I keep thinking of the “Song of Ruth.” Are Ruth and Naomi connected? Parang mag-biyenan yata diba?
