8 Random Things

I thought I'd play along with my good friends Becky & MP and carry on the 8 random things she was tagged to do...

1. I often forget how old I am and will sometimes rattle off an age I haven't been in years. Not because I am freaked out about being 35 almost 36 but because I really don't think about my age.


2. I love wine. But it has to be good wine. I cannot drink cheap wine. Yes I am a wine snob. No cheap twist off tops. I hate fake corks and please don't ask me if I want a glass that comes out of box or a tap. Please nothing, pink, fruity, or sweet.


3. I am a writer. I dream of publishing a novel--not a great work of literary fiction but a novel. The one I am working on now is the story of 3 women lost in the world who find strength and solace in each other that helps them find their way down the path they were meant to walk.


4. I am scared to death of mice. I don't mind bugs but I can't stand mice. They were a problem when we lived in California near a drainage ditch. The cats would bring them dead as gifts and if I was the only one home, I would cover them up with a towel while I got ready and would uncover them when I left so that my hubby (beau at the time) would have to clean it up. I know gross, rotten and disgusting--but I can't do mice.


5. I love horror movies. I love scary movies. Hubby can't stand them so I have to watch them when he isn't home. Bring on the gore and the pyschological terror.
6. I am addicted to diet soda. I am a diet coke or diet dr. pepper girl. Please don't try to give me a diet pepsi.
7. I love taking pictures--as if you all couldn't tell, but I hate to be the one getting their picture taken. I would be happy if my picture was only taken for important, memorable moments. So please, no snapshots....
8. I don't like to shop. Well, at least not for myself. I love to shop for Minnow and Hubby, but I don't enjoy shopping for myself and I often experience buyer's remorse especially when I buy for myself.
