Find Me on Facebook...and 4 More Things

I've been having to get all introspective over here.

Dear Reader Robo tagged me with the task of revealing "4 things" about me, so here we go -

4 Things I Did Today:

1. Let the chickens out to play in the yard
2. Watched the feel good movie of the year, Sweeny Todd
3. Got on the Interwebs
4. I don't think I did anything productive after that. Slacker!

4 Things on My To Do List:

1. Consolidate my work To Do Lists
2. Consolidate my "personal" To Do Lists
3. Consolidate my To Buy, To Read, To Write To Do Lists
4. Do some of these things

4 Guilty Pleasures:

1. Cupcakes
2. Chocolate
3. Fancy Shoes
4. Not feeling guilty about any of the above

4 Random Facts About Me:

1. I have a Rooster who is in love with me
2. I once thought Bailey was a really original name for a dog
3. I currently have 17 kinds of honey, 11 kinds of oil, 9 kinds of vinegar, 10 kinds of sugar, & 11 kinds of salt in my cabinets
4. I like to read 3+ books at the same time.

And after much harassment from my friends, I filled out my Facebook page. At first I just went and added some folks but then I linked in my Flicker and Twitter and You Tube accounts, so I'm all connected.

The best part was thinking about my "Info" page. Once I started thinking of things I liked or I felt were "me" it was hard to stop. I hope that's a good thing. I ended up with:

Inquiring Minds Want to Know

Tags by Ti.mo

I've been a bit slow on the uptake on getting this done. Miss Katie at Breaking Curfew tagged me to tell six habits or quirks about myself that, I'm assuming, no one knows. Since you already know I'm a big city girl who now has three chickens, I'm sure everything else will less odd in comparison, but here we go:

1. My minor in college was Early British Literature. That means I read Beowulf, the Mabinogian and Sir Gawain and The Green Knight... for fun. I also "collect" stories about the Arthur legend and fairy tales.


2. I grew up in South Florida and volunteered at Miami MetroZoo for over five years. Consequently I'm not afraid of any bug, spider, snake or animal and have been bitten or scratched by everything from parrots to wolves to hedgehogs. Heck, I've rescued and relocated coral snakes from my front yard. Plus I don't mind getting messy when it comes to taking care of an animal.


3. I'm a not-so-closet geek. I was doing science fair competitions and reading fantasy/sci-fi in high school, not cheerleading or reading fashion mags. And I still want that darn Kindle!


4. I love really esoteric Victorian silver serving pieces like baked potato and lettuce forks. They come in handy when we have a tea party.


5. We don't watch a lot of TV, especially not reality TV but we'll have movies on all day long. Althought we thought this show was high-larious!


6. I don't like sugary candies but I love to bake and love love love dark chocolate, especially the Black Pearl and Naga truffles from Vosges, Scharffen Berger 77% (even though they sold out to Hershey's - blech!) and the Godiva Key Lime truffle.
   

So there you go! Interesting, who knows. I'm not the greatest on giving out tags, so I'll take a cue from Miss Wendy B. - if you want a tag, just let me know!
