If you care....

I'm seeing it all over FB. It used to make the rounds on the blogs.

So in my time honored fashion of being at least 6 months behind the curve of popular culture, I now give to you:

25 Random Things about Me:

- I am a coffee snob (yay Peets! boo Starbucks)

- I need like to sleep at least 9 hours each night.

- I went to a private Jesuit university where I met Hubby.

- I am tall, but I have shrunk 1/2 inch over the last twenty years.

- I am compulsively on-time.

- I speak Spanish mas o menos.

- I do NOT enjoy when my daughter tells me the story of whatever video she has just watched.

- In high school and college I was a DeadHead. I even toured one summer.

- I don't like children's games. I find them boring.

- I have fond memories of drinking absinthe with my brother in Spain and Portugal during college.

Giving a fundraising speech when I was 24 to a room with about 200 Hewlett Packard employees who were forced to listen was one of the hardest things I've ever done.

- I never know what to do with my hair. Bangs? Layers? Long? Ponytail?

- I once thought that if Hubby died (before kids) I would go be a nun in El Salvador.

- I am afraid of being attacked by a shark in the ocean. And of flying (though I'm getting better at that).

- I attended a Left Fest, a fair celebrating communism around the world, in Madrid in 1988 (Reagan's last year in the White House).

- People often think I am "down" or upset when I'm not (I'm just lucky that way).

- I thought I was a Star Wars freak, until my son got way more into it than I ever was (he, of course, is way over that now).

- One of my favorite places to visit is Washington DC.

- Once, I almost converted to Catholicism.

- Polish Pottery makes me happy.

- When I was young I was a great swimmer. I'm still pretty good (when I train).

- I have a crush on John Adams and George Washington.

- I prefer skiing to snowboarding, but prefer sitting in front of a fire with a hot cocoa to both.

- In high school I spent a summer digging latrines in rural Mexico.

- Thanks to Hubby, I am a Mac person. I'm completely helpless on a PC - or whatever they are called these days.

- I can't count very well.
