And now the hard part. Seven things about myself? Hmmmmm. If you hang around here much, you may already know a few of these, but I couldn't think of seven entirely new things.
1. I'm the middle of three daughters, no brothers.
2. I'm a plodder. I plod along, dotting every i, crossing every t. Sometimes this drives me crazy about myself, but I can't seem to help it.
3. I play the flute.
4. I'm an obsessive reader. I read the backs of cereal boxes, catalogs, cookbooks, the back of the tube of toothpaste. In the shower I read the back of the shampoo bottle. I read over people's shoulders on the plane (and I hate it when people do that to me).
5. I've read Ulysses. Three times. (gotta get some mileage out of that somewhere.)
6. I love road trips. Also trips by plane and train. Maybe I should just say: I love to travel. On my list for the next three years: Alaska and Ireland. Ten year plan: New Zealand, Spain/Portugal, Morocco, and maybe Kenya. MadMax really wants to go to Africa for a photo safari.
I'm having a hard time coming up with #7. Hmmmmm.
7. I'm afraid of heights. I never think I am till I get up someplace high, and then I'm paralyzed and can't get down. I once had to crawl down one of those pyramid tombs in Guatemala. I couldn't see how high I was on the way up.
there you go.
You had so much to say and I was on Dan's weekend so I got REALLY behind!
ReplyDeleteOkay, hope I can remember it all.
Yogurt: amazingly cool! Yes, Nancy's is from here (Ken Kesey's brother started it and runs it, to be exact). I very much want to make our own, too. But, like you, we re-use our tubs for everything. In fact, the local joke is that those containers have been called "Eugene Tupperware" for over 40 years.
Exercising: yeah the after 50 part is VERY difficult, but wow, go you and all of your fabulous work-outs. Super impressive stats.
No Shampoo: sorry that didn't work our for you, but I am very glad you have a brand you love and that loves you back. (FYI, my hair is oily and thick, and I went with the baking soda plus vinegar/lemon rinse route.)
E-mailing posts: very clever and what a cool way to get your words up here.
Chickens: I will NEVER get tired of your pictures or hen updates. Never. (Unless it's bad news, in which case, warn me so I don't accidentally arrive and then have to collapse in a puddle of grief.)
Valentines: we don't do it. Never have. Barely got through the school years when every class event was a struggle. Cheesecake sounds like a terrific compromise.
Things About You: I knew some of them (or something about some of them maybe), but thanks for sharing all 7, that was very generous. And interesting.
Did I forget something? Probably. But at least I'm current.
