7 Things about Me...

I was "tagged" to tell 7 things about myself and then tag 7 other people. Not only do I not have 7 bloggers to tag, I don't really like to do that. For the same reason that I don't forward emails to 10 friends in 10 minutes and expect a miracle or something.

So, while I don't mind telling something (everything? isn't that why we blog?) about myself, I'll leave it up to those who read my posts whether or not to reveal 7 things about themselves. If you do, just leave me a comment, and I'll jump over to read yours.

Here goes:

  1. I actually like the fat part of a steak. It may be because when I was young (and chunky, before kids were actually overweight), my brother told me that eating the fat would make you skinny.
  2. I have been known to watch entire replays of sporting events that I attended in person. Multiple times.
  3. I have never seen Miracle on 30-whatever Street, It's a Wonderful Life, or Willa Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (neither the old one nor the new one).
  4. I was a true "accident," a post-vasectomy child. And while I don't obsess over it, I manage to work it into WAY too many conversations.
  5. I was once a skydiver, and I would return to it in a heartbeat, but I wasn't very good at it. When my daughter turned 10, I decided that if I had jumped badly 66 times and lived to talk about it, it was time to take up something else. Now I ride a motorcycle.
  6. I teach high school English, but I do algebra for fun in my spare time. I would love to be a math teacher.
  7. I quit smoking almost 16 years ago. And I still dream about it. Not about wanting to smoke, but about actually smoking and thinking in my dream that I have blown the entire last 16 years.
Those may not be the most interesting 7 things about me, but they are the ones I'm willing to share right now. :)
