My sweet friend Elizabeth tagged me to share 6 things about myself. Since I do so enjoy talking about myself, this should be no problem. :)
1. My feet got 1/2 size bigger after I had my daughter. I was a not-so-dainty size 9 to begin with and we'd really like to have more than one child, so this is just another reason why I am not terribly thrilled at the idea of being pregnant again any time soon.
2. I love Alice in Wonderland and when I was in Oxford, England I made a special trip to The Old Sheep Shop to feed my obsession. I think Lewis Carroll was a total perv, though. Seriously. ick.
3. I am terrified of scorpions. Not a huge fan of spiders but I can deal, don't mind snakes at all, but scorpions scare me to death! I can't even watch them on TV or look at photos in books without getting completely skeeved. I think they are of the devil.
4. When I was younger my favorite dinner was Spaghetti Pie (a baked dish of spaghetti, meat sauce, cheese, and egg) and whenever I told anyone at school that, they thought I was crazy. I guess they were envisioning a pastry crust filled with noodles? I still love spaghetti pie but I haven't made it in a long time.
5. I am good at trivia games and crossword puzzles. My brain is a vast repository of mostly useless knowledge, but trust me--when we're playing Trivial Pursuit, you want to be on my team. :)
6. If I ever had a shop or a business selling the vintage crapola that I love, it would be called Magpie's Nest. Magpies are attracted to shiny things and so am I. :)
Thanks, Elizabeth! If you read this and need something to blog about (or just like to talk about yourself, like me :) consider yourself tagged!
One of my former students in NJ owned a fancy all organic restaurant that specialized in spaghetti pie. It was quite tasty! I just can not remember the name of the restaurant at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI too love Spaghetti Pie and have a great receipe for it if you want it. It is one of our favorites in our house!
ReplyDeleteI am the same exact way about scorpions. *Shudder*. In fact, I could've written your #3 word for word. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom makes Spaghetti Pie, only we called it Spaghetti Pizza...maybe because she'd make it in a 9 x 13... not really sure...
And you should open up a little shop someday! The "If I ever" sounds promising. From what I've seen on your blog, you find a lot of really neat stuff.
