I’ve been tagged by the talented Salty Miss Jill. Yes, you’ll get a home keeping post tomorrow, but I’ve got some keeping of the home to do first!
Seven facts you may not know about me.
Fact 1:
Taking classes, piano playing and illustrating are my three favorite tasks. I don’t spend nearly enough time on any of them. If I could be a full time student for the rest of my life I would be.
Fact 2:
Back growing up, I used to be very religious. I ceased being religious when at Jesuit college. I questioned my faith so much in all those theology classes, I didn’t come out the other side. This makes my mom sad.
Fact 3:
I didn’t start liking boys until I was well into 15– except for Jack Tripper. I’ve had a crush on him since I was six.
Fact 4:
From the age of five until we discovered boys, my sister and I watched no less than four hours of television a day, and sometimes ten on the weekend. Our brains work great and I still love tv. My favorite running television shows are The 4400, Smallville, Mission Organization and Design Rivals. Sigh.
Fact 5:
As the fourth of five children, I visit home the least. I have three older brothers, a little sister and five nephews and a whole lot of my hometown I try to avoid. Mostly, I like being someone else in California, someone other than who I was in Wisconsin.
Fact 6:
I have wanted to be an obstetrician, a secretary and an artist. However, a few months ago I was hit with a magic wand that allowed me to say what I wanted as my dream job.
I said “Food Network Personality.”
(It surprised me too.)
Fact 7:
I’ve subscribed to Martha Stewart Living since 1993.
Here are the rules for the meme:

Food Network Personality. Now that’s what I call an ideal career choice! Simply love your blog!
Meh, I need another tip. Thus far I’ve implemented the making of the bed and making a weekly meal calendar. Next up will be the morning routine including a set breakfast for each day.
Now I know why I keep you around. You’re going to make me a changed woman, HJ.
Talented? Moi? Naw. You are too kind.
I’m dying to hear what magic you’ll be whipping up for TGving. I’ll be trying out your corn chowder recipe this weekend, by the way…
Hey, I’ve been tagged! I’m blogging my seven things… better late than never.
Helen Jane, I also grew up watching TV every afternoon and evening, plus all Saturday morning. Somehow I managed to be a speed reader, devourer of fiction, and writer as well. Maybe our brains were lucky.
I didn’t know you played piano. Just finished playing the Raffi songbook and singing along with the granddaughter this morning. “Ducks like rain, ducks like rain… Quack, quack-quack-quack-quack.” Time to dig out the Christmas sheet music soon.
Oh my gosh. Totally had a crush on Jack Tripper, too! That has been a secret I’ve carried with me for YEARS. I’m finally FREE!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Omg. Seriously, this is the first time in my life I’ve ever been tagged. You totally just popped my tagging cherry. I hope I can live up to the pressure! Stay tuned…
