I attempted this a year ago thinking it would be a quick and easy challenge.
Well it wasn’t!
And for what it’s worth, here I go with:
Ten Random Facts About Myself!
1. I was born in West Germany. This always gets the bejeebers going when customs officials read my passport, as if I’m related to Adolf or some such politically incorrect individual. I was born on a British soil on an Army Base where my parents were stationed after the war.
I am the cool daughter of Conquerors.
2. I left home at twelve. I was not a problem child who abused substances. The conquering parents pursued a diplomatic career that required a social life in exotic countries. I was packed off to boarding school.
I am the unwitting daughter of Party Animals.
3. I raced powerful power boats off the rugged coast of an Island in the Channel. My confident recklessness flipped the Phantom 2000 and I surfaced clutching a spirit of adventure.
I am the thrill seeking daughter of Absent Parents.
4. I married twice, the first time to get away from my parents the second time to become one.
I am the fruitful daughter of Indifference.
5. I wear my shabby-chic, frequent London pubs, eat comfort foods, drink dry Champagne or builder’s tea and am equally at home on a grimy bus or in a sleek limousine.
I am the bohemian daughter of Social Climbers.
6. My stress relievers include moving furniture, keeping quiet and dancing with Hubs.
I am the strong, resilient daughter of World War II survivors.
7. I am a chief, rarely an Indian and don’t suffer fools.
I am the maverick daughter of Diplomats.
8. My favorite place to eat is standing up.
I am the free wheeling daughter of Conformists.
9. I practice yoga and walk the talk in my Christian faith.
I am the liberal daughter of Conservatives.
10. I drowned my parents in the North Sea when distributing their ashes. It was not an idyllic scattering.
I am the orphaned daughter of Passed Parents.
Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
