No one tagged me, but I'm doing it anyway. The challenge, however, is thinking of ten things I haven't told about myself already. Hmmmmmm....
1. I like to doodle. I doodle at meetings all the time. I have pages and pages of doodles.
2. I don't like mushrooms or olives, things most people love.
3. But I love okra and brussel sprouts, which many people find repulsive.
4. I always paint my toenails during the summer but never my fingernails.
5. I wear a toe ring and a thumb ring. My sister thinks this is extremely bizarre.
6. My sister thinks most of what I do is extremely bizarre.
7. I only wear silver jewelry. I would wear white gold, but I don't have any.
8. My middle name is my mother's maiden name. I hated that when I was a kid because everyone else had 'regular' names for middle names, like 'Ann' or 'Elizabeth'.
9. I didn't name any of my children with family names. Now I sort of wish I had. But I do like their names.
10. I've never been to the west coast. Or to Europe, except for Iceland. I really want to go to England and Scotland some time, but I have to get over my fear of flying.

Ditto #4.
And I always paint my toenails with really bold strong colors.
Ditto #6, too.
you should come to california for my ordination next year. we're not far from napa, so you could go visit the wine country and relax for a few days (if you're into that sort of thing). or just hang out in san francisco for a few days - a beautiful city, if I do say so myself!
ditto on #2!
I sort of have a family name too...and older brother...
I used to doodle in the margins of my notebook until my eighth-grade science teacher, who collected our notebooks, gave me a 'F' for taking notes (I who take prolific notes and end up being secretary at many meetings). Since then I never have doodled. The same teacher also made the whole class write on the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which appalled my mother.
And unlike you, I mix gold and silver, though I can only wear gold earrings because my skin reacts negatively to silver.
you're afraid of flying? I never knew.
i'm famous for doodling. my middle name is my mother's maiden name, something no one can pronounce.
Ditto #3, 4, 6, 7.
Except for I do have 1 thing that is white gold, my wedding ring. My husband and I bought our wedding rings in Portugal where we encountered one jeweler who refused to sell us white gold wedding bands. Because (at least according to Portuguese tradition) one is not to have white gold wedding band until one's 25th anniversary. Right.
Ditto on 1,2,4,and 7. But my kids are swimming with family names. Both first and middle. Once we headed down that road, we were committed. And I have a large family...
Oh yes, brussel sprouts, which I adore...
Yay for the brussels sprouts. We used to have them only on Christmas, no kidding. And I can't remember whether it was my mother who hated them but cooked them annually to please my father, or my father who hated the but ATE them annually to please my mother... only met okra in Campbell's Chicken Gumbo...
