My Very Inspiring Blog Award 4/27/13

Thank you so much to the fascinating and talented Cassandra Griffin for presenting me with this lovely award! I’m very fond of the fanciful Victorian script design. It will be hard to come up with 7 things about me that are as interesting as her 7 things (RN turned trucker, for example), but here goes…

1. My first apartment was in a Boston brownstone which once housed a funeral parlor. The scariest thing about it was the shag carpet. In the kitchen.

2. On our honeymoon, my husband and I broke a bed and set off the smoke alarm in a hotel in Halifax. No, we weren’t doing what you’re thinking.

3. I had devil-phobia when I was a child (this deserves its own post so that’s all I’ll say for now).

4. When I was three years old I learned to shift gears in a TR3, but then forgot how.

5. I’m a very cheap drunk.

6. My favorite ride at Disney World is Expedition Everest (for all the fun stuff leading up to the ride, as well as the ride itself).

7. I’m the official bat-catcher in our family. We’ve had three “incidents” so far.

11. Vicki Weavil new and enthusiastic Thursday’s Child, love that!

12. Shanah Wooldrage because she has a hedgehog, and also whenever I see her name I must say it at least six times. With a British accent.
