Last night I: did laundry (it never ends in my house), wrote an email to my sister, and talked with my husband.

A better name for me would be: ????, not sure what this would be.  I will tell you that my older brother said that my Mom wanted to name me Tracy.  That name does not fit me ... LOL!

I've been told I look like: some average people walking on the street.  People usually mistake me for someone they know.  I guess I have a common look.  As far as I know, I do not look like any celebrity.

Here's the deal:

Grab the nearest book.

1. Open it to page 161.
2. Find the fifth full sentence.
