Much to my surprise, Alice Seba tagged me the other day with the 7 Random & Weird Things about Me meme. Ah, the price I pay for commenting on someone’s blog! \ud83d\ude09 Some ways I dread memes, because it’s often hard to decide what to say, but I occasionally participate. Like today.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how this one works:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog. All right, here goes.<\/p>\n 1. I pick my daughter up from school and drop her off by walking each day rain or shine. It’s a nice bit of exercise, and this being southern California, it’s mostly shine, sometimes way too much sunshine. Doubly so now that I’m pregnant enough to really feel the heat.<\/p>\n 2. I read a lot, mostly science fiction when it comes to leisure reading. But if there’s reading material and spare time, I’ll read almost anything. We have a shortage of space for hanging family pictures because my husband and I have so many bookshelves. He shares my addiction.<\/p>\n 3. I was very much the “shy girl” in school. You know, the one shaking and almost in tears when called upon, even though I almost always knew the answer. I’ve done a lot of work to get past that kind of thing.<\/p>\n 4. I regularly try to push past my comfort zone. This is a big part of how I got past the worst of the shyness. Went away to college when all my sisters stayed in town. Tried out to be an expert on working at home for a local TV show once. Didn’t get it, but I tried.<\/p>\n 5. My current pregnancy was a complete and poorly timed surprise. But sometimes statistics get you like that.<\/p>\n 6. Despite living in southern California, I’d rather be in a place with more rain. Probably comes of living here almost my entire life, discounting those years away at college.<\/p>\n 7. My son is one of 3 boys born on my mother’s side of the family in the past ~50 years. The other two are about a year and a half older than he is. All 3 of my sisters have daughters and no sons. I’ll take whatever I can get with this baby, but I have plenty of people cheering for another boy. Should be finding out within about the next two weeks.<\/p>\n And now the part I’m really bad at… tagging people. Hey Alice, are there tagbacks? Just kidding. Let’s see who’s been commenting around here…<\/p>\n Vered<\/a> Just if you want to, of course, folks. And anyone else who feels like joining in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Much to my surprise, Alice Seba tagged me the other day with the 7 Random & Weird Things about Me meme.
