TAGGED by Rosa


Well this is a first for me! Rosa tagged me yesterday. The way that this works is to reveal 8 things about yourself that new friends and Internet contacts may not know about you. So I hope these will tell a little about myself.


1. I am a huge greyhound aficionado. I currently have two with perhaps one more to be added to the pack. One look in the eyes of this noble breed sent me to the deep end. I will always have greyts in my life from now on.


2. I have taken courses in animal communication and have found that I have helped some good friends through difficult times with their animals.


3. I have a MS in Food Microbiology and in my former life worked for Abbott Labs as a research scientist in the fermentation area.


4. I am a dance Mom. Well I don't dance but my children do. I take them to and from their venues and enjoy their performances (I go to 8 or 9 performances of their Nutcracker every year).


5. I enjoy nonfiction especially anything about George Washington. I think last year there were 4 or 5 new biographies about him and I read every one. He is my idol.


6. Oh here is one for you, I studied martial arts for about 5 years and earned a black belt in a form of Tai Kwon Do.


7. This should be no surprise to anyone but I am a pig. My art studio constantly looks like a tornado went through it. I thrive on chaos.


8. I studied 5 years of Spanish in high school (in AP Spanish) and two years in college. When we got to reading Don Quixote in old Spanish, I gave up on a Spanish minor and stuck to a minor in chemistry. Believe it or not, Chemistry was easier! But the Spanish came in so handy when I traveled through out Spain back in the early 90s.


OK there you have it. Not very exciting. I am thinking the things I picked to tell about myself tell just as much as the actual items.


I would love to tag the Granola Poet. He just fascinates me!


Back tomorrow with my found art.

I love to know all these things about you! I had NO IDEA you had a black belt! yikes! And I think your background in mirobiology is really something!
ps, thanks for tagging the granola poet! I hope he/she does it because I'm also really intrigued!
ps2 Even I (someone with spanish as a first language) can't read El Quijote in old spanish... it's really complex.

Hi there,
Just writing to acknowledge my tag. Fell out of the loop for a while, waiting to rekindle the fire Erato that burns within. My 8 secrets will be revealed soon. . .
