Seven Random Facts

I am confiscating hubby's computer while he mows the lawn, so as to try to catch up some blog entries that are swimming around.

I have been tagged by Chile for a meme (Yes, Chile, I can tell you how to custom-make a banner for your blog, but I'll be damned if I can pronounce "meme" either!). I have been instructed to present to you, dear readers, Seven Random Facts about me (as if you haven't been subjected to enough Random Facts about me already...). Yes, I know, I've been gone for a week, and you all expect something Of Substance... HA!

1.  I like to color, but I am an elitist. I use only Crayola; there is no crayon that can compare, either in saturation of color or smell. I was the only kid in my kindergarten class that colored shadows into my coloring sheets (my great-grandfather was an artist).

2.  I can cook a tasty apple pie, but can't make it pretty to save my life.

3.  If I could be anything, I would choose to be an ornithologist. Something about birds just fascinates me beyond all reason. Beautiful, ugly, common, unusual, colorful, drab, doesn't matter... they all have something I find just magical.

4.  I taught scrapbooking classes at a local scrapbook store for 2 years. I have completed (full to overflowing) more than 20 scrapbooks.

5.  I have a rabid aversion to houseflies. They really truly gross me out.

6.  One of my favorite places on earth is Varenna, Italy, on Lake Como. This is where we ate breakfast every morning, and fed the ducks.

7.  I'm a horribly indecisive person. I think. Maybe not. Well, I know I can be...sometimes. (Sorry for stealing one of yours, Alina... I just couldn't decide what my #7 should be!)

Now, the rules say I have to tag seven other bloggers for this, but honestly, all the blogs I read have been or will be tagged by other blogs I read, so I'm skipping the tagging part. I forgot....

8.  I'm a party pooper.

Love it! My reactions:

1. I once got a sample of soy crayons and really liked them. The pieces didn't melt as well as Crayolas though in my collage.

2. I don't care. Send me an ugly piece o' apple pie!

3. Birder could have been one of my random facts. Been watching them personally and professionally for years.

4. I'm too lazy to scrapbook but I envy those who create wonderful memories.

5. Um, I killed several in my house this week. Does that make me a murderess?

6. Gorgeous. On second thought, let's meet there to eat that apple pie...

7. Thief!

8. Party pooper or not, Lori, you came through on the meme! As a meme virgin, I was feeling sad that no-one I tagged was posting their 7 random facts so thank you. And I'll be e-mailing you about that banner tutoring...

Steal away Lori! #5 The cat works great for that. It's the only use for that lazy bastard. Even though sometimes I find half eaten flies on my bed. Ewww.

Hey, how did I not know you're a scrapbooker? And pfah to pretty pies... everyone knows the ugly ones taste the best. (Said the girl who could not make a real pie crust to Save. Her. Life.)
