8 random/not-so-random (?) facts

I’ve been tagged. Odd – no one told me. Anyhoo…Here’s the skinny:

-Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
-People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
-At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
-You may need to leave them a comment and tell them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

 And now i begin…

1. I have never rec’d a speeding ticket – and I’m deathly afraid of cops. (Except for Jill and Jordan, of course). [Firefighters are no good, either, no matter who's staring at you from your calendar.]

2. Although I’ll try almost anything (food-wise) once, the texture of mushrooms, eggplant and zuchini grosses.me.out. They all resemble styrofoam to me – void of taste and oddly lightweight in spite of their respective sizes. Lack of density, I suppose, is not desirable to me.

3. My husband has the softest skin on his temple. That may not be about me but I could spend all day with my lips pressed against that spot! 

4. If I could be paid to work from home with consistently incoming assignments (none of this “send your query to the editor” stuff), I would. And I’d love it. And kick a** at it!

5. I always wished I was the dainty, flexible, pretty, small ballerinas in my jazz dance classes when I was young. If I could have pursued dance the way they did,  from the young age they did, I think I could have been great. But I was quite aware of the fact that I was there for recreation and they were in my class simply to be more “well-rounded” for their more important ballet and tap and lyrical classes (sorrow!).

6. My super-anal mother had a housecleaner visit every other Friday for the first 12 or so years of my life! How I miss Meike.

7. I want to live and work and breathe and travel and give birth and experience life’s milestones . . . all in Europe.

8. Marriage has been the most eye-opening and spirit-strengthening experience of my life.

I tag Julie, Danya, Ann-Margret, Shari, Molly, Matt, and uhhhh that’s all I got.
