Steph? If you keep saying such nice things about me, my head might swell. But would that be so bad? So stop it some more. (Shuttie already if you’re reading this Lynn). That would be a not so subtle message to my younger sister, whom I am certain is snorting on her chardonnay after reading Steph’s loveliness. We do love each other, but geez, we shared a bedroom as teenagers.

So Steph gets me all slathered up with lovely words and then asks me to participate in a meme. What could I say? Here are 10 random facts about me, a little ditty that originated from Flickrlovr.

10. I hate gnomes and clowns. I don’t really get the point of either.

9. While we’re on the subject, I also hate clutter. I don’t have “knick knacks” or “crap knacks” as Michael calls them. Mainly because they collect dust. Give me clean spaces. Oh, there I go dreaming again.

8. I am introverted in a large group, but can chat away like nobody’s business if it’s just you and me. I hate talking about myself, so I’m a really good conversationalist. (Is that two things?)

7. Never, ever serve me margarine instead of butter. It’s wrong. Kind of like that fake non-dairy creamer instead of half and half.

6. Speaking of dairy, if you look in my fridge right now, you’ll find at least 20 different varieties of cheese. I’m dead serious.

5. I love coffee, but only when I first wake up.

4. I happily give up manicures and pedicures so I can buy fabulous skin care products. My logic is that you cut your nails off. Your face is pretty much with you all the time.

3. When I retire, I plan to be a children’s photographer. It’s a passion of mine.

2. I can be ridiculously practical. I really don’t think I need more than one really good purse.

1. I appreciate my husband. Is that corny? I mean that I get what he does for us and try to let him know often that I notice. Next year I will have been married as long as I was single. And in case you’re wondering, I married young.
