More Than You Need to Know

Blame author Natalie Damschroder. I've been tagged. There are rules . . .

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

8 random facts/habits about me ...

1. I don't cook--at all--and only learned to operate a coffeemaker 2 years ago. Prior to that, I would go to McDonald's, order five jumbo coffees, store them in my fridge, and microwave as necessary.

2. My favorite soup is gazpacho. I hate string beans.

3. My current significant other and I pretty much met when I threw a steak at him. Long story involving a restaurant where I was waiting tables and he was chef . . . and a burned steak and my best customer.

4. When I tell people I will pray for them when they are having a difficult time, I stop what I am doing and light candles then and there, and say a little prayer so that I don't forget. I can have a dozen candles going at once on the shelves in my office. I don't know if it helps, but I know it cannot hurt.

5. I am a severe claustrophobic. Like wacky crazy claustrophobic. I had a panic attack this week sliding under my son's bed to pull out some out socks that were wedged near the wall. I am convinced there is . .. no . . . air . . . on elevators, in closets, under beds, or on airplanes, and no logic can convince me otherwise.

6. I like really ridiculously cheesy old movies, like Frenchman's Creek. In line with said taste in old movies, I adore the singing Marlon Brando in Guys and Dolls and can sing all the songs from that movie by heart, even though I am, I am fairly sure, tone-deaf.

7. I see an acupuncturist every two weeks, and often fall asleep with twenty needles stuck all over me.

8. I make rude comments near women wearing fur. I know it is not terribly nice to do so, but I can't help but feel they are wearing torture victims on a coat.

Okay, I tag Jude . . . I'd tag Lainey, but she was already snagged, so I tag Karmela, and Michele, and Kelly. That's not eight, but . . . there you go. I was never good at following directions.
