TAG - I'm IT ...X 2



ummm..... Thanks Crystal - I think?




AND Julie.... does one posting count for both?????


I hope so as I'm hard pressed to come up with 7 things BUT here goes -





7 random things about me:



1. I still have my tonsils AND adenoids - from a recent medical article I was reading, I understand that I am one of a very few adults that have made it past 30 (I won't say how far past) with adenoids and tonsils intact and still inside.



2. I am a bonifide air head - at least according to my ENT Dr. who has informed me on several occasions that I have a very large frontal sinus. I have been instructed to 'always wear my seatbelt' lest I'm in an accident, hit my head, and break my frontal bone since there is nothing but air behind it!! (I do always wear my seat belt)



3. I have been informed by my co-workers that I eat way too many sweets (Little do they know that I actually eat a LOT LESS sweets than I used to)



4. I love historically accurate books. I like stepping into the shoes of people in history - to see life through regular eyes and to have an understanding of day to day life in ancient cultures. Which means I enjoy the History channel and the Discovery channel.



5. Just because I wanted to - I took a a senior level history class, even though I was an art major - I wanted to take the class so much that I showed up the first week without registering and had to ask for an over-ride to get in.



6. I like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien - so much so that I have read the appendix to Lord of the Rings (I can't even count how many times I have read the books) AND have read a lot of the 'histories' and back stories that Tolkien's decendents published. Besides the Chronicles of Narnia - favorite C.S. Lewis book is 'The Great Divorce"



7. Ahhh.... 7 at last! I recently went to Italy and have too many pics to show for it - #1 sight - The Sistine Chapel!! ok - couldn't resit - pic view of Rome -

and Venice....



All my friends have already been tagged - so I will spare you *wink*wink*
