Diana Lee at Somebody Heal Me tagged me with the Seven Things Meme. Here are the rules:
I like doing these memes because it gives me an opportunity to direct a little traffic toward other bloggers whose work I admire:
- Fanatic Cook
- Weight of the Evidence
- The Former Donut Junkie
- Going Against the Grain
- The Daily Headache
- Her Life in a Nutshell
- The Skinny Daily Post
Oh, yeah, and Deborah at Weathering Migraine Storms already got tagged by Diana, and Fat Doctor has recently been tagged by someone else, but you should still check out their blogs.
So, here are my seven things.
1. I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 27, and I’ve never owned a car. I even lived in St. Louis without a car!
2. I got my bachelor’s degree from St. John’s College. My years there were one of the best experiences of my life.
3. In hot weather I like pouring unsweetened, flavored seltzer into a glass that has a tablespoon of cream in the bottom. Vanilla and black cherry are good. Sounds weird, but it sure kills the ice cream cravings. It’s like a less sticky version of a root beer float.
4. My husband and I gave out M&Ms with our names on them as wedding favors.
5. There are 11 states I haven’t been to. I’m going to California for the first time in January, so then it will be only 10. (If you give me a blank map, I can name every state on it, as well as all the state capitals. I once had a job at a company that sold geographic data, and I stared at a map of the US for 8 looooooooooong years.)
6. My company has a used book sale every year to raise money for charity. This year I contributed 4 books and bought 5. That’s better than last year, when I contributed 3 books and bought 12.
7. In the Six Degrees of Separation game, I am only one degree away from Matt Damon, Terry Gilliam, Orson Welles (really!), Spike Jonze, and Steven Spielberg. And I’m not in the film industry, not even close. I just know some smart people who are.
