I’ve been tagged.

First. The rules.

Each participant posts eight facts about themselves.Taggees should write a blog post of eight random facts about themselves. At the end of the post eight more bloggers are tagged. Go to their blogs. Leave a comment telling them they’re tagged.

Now. On to the facts.

  1. I have worked for the same company for 21 years. During that time, I’ve had 3 jobs and 12 supervisors (that I can remember). I’ve known many of my coworkers for as many years, and I love them dearly. They are my work family.
  2. I have a mutant toenail on the little toe of my left foot.
  3. I have been pregnant six times, and I have one beautiful and perfect child (but my poor little guy is sick at this very moment). I’m hoping, and trying valiantly not to obsess, that this time all goes well and that I will be blessed with one more beautiful and perfect child.
  4. I’m a control freak. I don’t know why. I just am. I’m trying to be more gracious about it. I just like things to make sense, and I like to understand things, so I work hard for those two things, and that seems to translate into control freak.
  5. I took a two month leave once and toured Europe (with my first college roommate) on a shoestring, ala Europe Through the Back Door. What an experience! Some things I’ll never do again. Some things I’d love to do again.
  6. I have a semi-secret ambition to write a best-selling novel, but honestly, I think I would be quite content to lead a life in which I could potter around with various sorts of arts and crafts, day in and day out, with a few puzzles and books scattered among the projects here and there.
  7. I am debt free. I worked feverishly for most of my life to attain this state, thinking that once here, I’d have no worries left, but somehow I find other things to be concerned about, and I am still highly critical of what things cost. I think frugality is in my bones. (This is very annoying to my husband.)
  8. I like hot, super hot, hot hot HOT, spicy to the point of tears hot, food. Sri racha, Tabasco, crushed red pepper, ground white pepper, black pepper, jalapeno pepper, even habanero pepper. Bring it on!

Oh, number 6 makes you my soul-mate (as long as some gardening is also included!)

Ditto number 4. I see nothing wrong with things making sense and making sure you understand them!!

Congratulations on being debt free. It’s a glorious state I aspire to. But it is a good reminder that worries never vanish!

PS. Am saying a little prayer for you….

I can’t believe you’re debt-free! That’s so fabulous!

(Actually I can well believe you are).

If I didn’t like you so much I’d hate you for the debt free thing…

How’s the Other Thing going? I’m superstitiously still crossing my ovaries for you.
