7 Things You Don’t Know About Me
Eduardo Peirano from Online Sapiens Blog tagged me in a meme "7 Things You Don't Know About Me." I've been avoiding responding for awhile, because, well, maybe I've been a bit lazy or a bit shy. But here goes! Thanks for tagging me, Eduardo!
1. I have a son who is 6'4" and a daughter who is 5'2". Not sure exactly what happened here! (Yes, they have the same father.)
2. I am a Canadian who is married to an American. Even though we both speak English, we often have different names for the same items. For example, what is a master bath to my husband is an ensuite to me. What is a wire nut to him is a marrette to me. A napkin to him is a serviette to me. The word "asphault" to him is pronounced "AZ-fault"; I pronounce it "ASH-fault." Mostly, we enjoy confusing each other.
3. I grew up in a small logging town of only 10,000 people in northern British Columbia.
4. My grandparents celebrated their 70th anniversary in March 2009. Yes, you read that right: 70th!
5. I have the nickname "Red Menace" because of my red hair. I also had the nickname of "Wump" as a child. I think I'm still traumatized from that!
6. One of my very favorite things to do is to go fishing. To me, there is nothing more relaxing than a day spent on the water, even if I return home empty-handed.
7. I have the embarrassing habit of tearing up during sentimental movies, reading cheesy greeting cards and worse--even the right commercial can turn on the waterworks. I'm blaming it on my over-emotional Irish ancestors; at least that's the story I'm sticking to!
Ok--Tag, your it!
In turn, I'm tagging:
Nate Desmond from Debtfree Scholar
Elizabeth Sheppard from The Non-Traditional Student Blog
Mary Davis from Every Day Baby Steps
Joe Rickman from Fresh Freedom
Hope everyone has fun with this. It's fun to learn a little about people and their blogs.
Hi Red Menace,(I liked that one).
I also liked to read about your differences with your husband
I also enjoy fishing, like you, even if I only waste my time. It’s more like an adventure to me. I am always looking after rare or big fishes.
Thank you for stopping by again, Eduardo! In my opinion, fishing is never a waste of time, even if you don’t catch any fish. There are not too many activities anymore that require you to be still and patient. I think that is something that is very lacking in our technology-filled world.
I recently watched a documentary about Uruguay; I’ve wanted to travel to South America for sometime now. Alas, I took French in school and my Spanish is practically non-existent (except for certain food words–could food be the true universal language?) Anyway, it is most definitely on my to-do list one day.
