3. Share six unimportant things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your entry.
Wow. Six unimportant things. Mostly, since I live such a boring life, there are many unimportant things, unfortunately. Hmmm. How about:
1. The little toe on my right foot crosses over the fourth toe. When I was small, the doctor told my mother to tape it straight, so that we could "train" it to be straight. It didn't work. But, the doctor said as long as it didn't bother me, we shouldn't worry about it. Fixing it would require surgery and three months of crutches. It doesn't bother me, and it's kind of a family thing. I have a cousin who had the same problem. She was one of fifteen (!) kids, and it did start to bother her. So they cut her toe off. I guess they figured she had nine more toes and that she wouldn't miss a little one (her sister lost four fingers in a threshing machine when she was two). Thank goodness I wasn't raised on the farm and was allowed to keep all my fingers and toes.
2. I use my cruise control. Everywhere. I absolutely cannot drive the speed limit. I'm certain that I would have lost my license by now, if it weren't for this marvelous invention. On the few occasions when I've had to rent a car, I absolutely freak the eff out if the car doesn't have it.
3. I can take shorthand. I don't even think they teach this stuff anymore. I used it in my first job, which was as a secretary. But really, I used it more during college. I took all my notes in shorthand, and transcribing it into my computer helped drill the material into my brain. Thank you, teacher-whose-name-I-can-no-longer-remember. It is the gift that keeps on giving, and I still use it to take notes when I need to get something down verbatim.
4. I learned to swim in the Kentucky river while on vacation with my family. Sort of. Well, enough to allow me to fake my way out of the beginner's class when we had to take swimming lessons in high school.
5. I am absolutely addicted to HSN and QVC. I always have them on in the background, when no one else is around (because my husband hates hates hates them). I'm especially partial to the jewelry, and I have more pearls than I can possible wear in a lifetime (or so my husband says). Although HSN? Your jewelry really is looking lame lately.
6. I have four sizes worth of clothes in my closet. And also in my husband's closet, since there isn't any room for all this stuff. I'm working my way back down again, but it's slow going. My husband can't wait. No, he doesn't notice the weight loss. He would just like some closet space, please.
OK. I tag:
