Fine, Sharyn!

Even though I should be in the shower this very minute, getting ready to leave, I stopped to read Sharyn Tormanen’s blog.  Bummer, she tagged me.  Blog tag is fun, but for this one, I have to reveal my middle name, which I am not fond of.  But so be it.

First, the rules of the game:

• Post rules first
• One fact about myself for each letter in my middle name
• Each fact must begin with that letter
• If you don’t have a middle name, use your maiden name
• post on blog
• then tag one person per letter in your middle name

A:  Audio books are my current fixation.  Forget about “whistling while you work”–listen to an audio book.

R:  Real women do yoga and Zumba to stay in shape.  I am a real woman.  Feel my biceps, baby!

L:  Licorice (red) should be somewhere good on the food pyramid, if you ask me.

E:  Everyone seems to love seafood but me.  Could it be because I was rarely served any growing up and hence do not know how to cook it?  You should have seen the salmon filets I tried to serve last night because it’s Lent and I’m Catholic.  Passable for a change, but nothing to write home about.  One of my daughters actually pushed her plate away and left the table in tears because she was so disturbed about having a dead fish lying on her plate (she eats cows and chickens, though???).

N:  No one can tell this by talking to me, because I sound like such an airhead anymore, but I do  have a MENSA card.  Really.  Stop laughing!

E: “Elf” is my favorite Christmas movie.  If it were up to me, everyone would answer the phone using their name and then the phrase, “what’s your favorite color.”  I take exception to his dietary guidelines, but acting like every day is Christmas would make the world a way more fun place.

I don’t think I know 6 people who have blogs.  How about Barb H., Andrea, Melanie the “Lit Chick,” and Ginger.  And anyone else who feels like playing.  Leave me a link to your blog if you do it, please, so I can read your lists!
