5 things about me.

My friend, R, tagged me to do 5 things about me on another social networking site. Thus far, I've avoided it. People know me too well already in real life. They don't need to hear the wacko details. But to do it anonymously? Why not!

And so, my 5 things. Feel free to post yours in the comments.

1. I sometimes have the weirdest thoughts occur to me while driving. The current one is questioning how many of my personal idiosyncrasies stem from the fact that I considered Miss Piggy a role model when I was younger. Others have included what it would look like to put mascara on my husband and what kind of looks I'd get if I brought Bill O'Reilly as my date to my high school reunion.
2. I'm a superfast reader. This was a huge boon in college. But I mostly use my talent for pleasure reading. Before my son was born, I usually read 2-3 books a week. These days, I get in about one a week.
3. I have written my own novel and am shopping it around now. I have a second in the works and plan to finish it while CPT Dick is away.
4. I own a Chanel suit. I bought it at a consignment shop, and even though it was sold at a significant discount, it was still incredibly dear. I cringe whenever I think how much it cost but feel better when I put it on. It fits me perfectly, even after the post-baby body shifting.
5. I have traveled to over 40 countries. When my husband and I travel, we usually buy a piece of street art as a memento. This has resulted in a ton of unframed pieces sitting on a shelf in the office waiting for me to get around to framing them. Which I probably won't, because we don't have the wallspace anyway. Still, we keep buying.
