Day 4: 10 Interesting Facts About Myself

Oh good grief. Tuletta said, “Well, it is called a challenge…”

1.) I’ve had two vehicles in my entire life. To paraphrase Lonesome Dove, I’m not one to give up on a vehicle just because it’s got a little wear on it…

2.) I’ve done a bit of traveling. My favorite place in the US is Bear Lake, Idaho, closely rivaled by the Oregon coast.

3.) I think strawberry ice cream is disgusting, and I don’t like macaroni and cheese much better.

4.) I would love to write for a living. Or read books. I read about 50 a year, anyway, but I would like to read a few hundred. But I would still have to write, it eats at me. Sometimes, I’ll be trying to figure out what’s wrong with me, why I can’t concentrate, and it occurs to me that I haven’t spilled my guts out about anything. As soon as I spin a tale, I feel more settled.

5.) I am perfectly happy staying in and never going out. I would like to pay someone to do my shopping for me. I would make a great hermit. I hate to talk on the phone, too. Please don’t ask me to call you. It makes me sweat and I spend a lot of time thinking up excuses why I didn’t answer or didn’t call you.

6.)  I used to vacation alone. And I still would. Johnny likes to lay on the beach, I like to sightsee.

7.) I know a lot of dead people’s phone numbers. I know a lot of phone numbers, period. They don’t call me “Google of the Co-op” for nothin’.

8.) I own about 30 Coach purses.

9.) I order dessert first at Olive Garden. They have the most phenomenal lemon cake in the whole entire world, and I don’t want to eat so much dinner I can’t eat it.

10.) I worked as a 911 dispatcher for about a year & a half. It was, at turns, exhilarating and monotonous.
