Eight Dirty Little Secrets

I have been tagged by JanieBelle with a little meme about dirty secrets. I chuckled when reading her list because, if you follow my link to U Dream of Janie, you'll see that she and I are quite different in, shall we say, our pursuits of happiness. In keeping with my PG rating, the term "dirty" will be relative. Think more in terms of germs.

First, here are the rules:
*Post these rules before listing the facts.
*List eight random facts/habits.
*Tag eight people and list their names. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

My "Dirty" Little Secrets:
1. Sometimes I bite my nails, even after I have pumped gas into my car.
2. I don't have a 5-second rule when eating food dropped on the floor. My rule is more like 60 seconds, unless it falls within the tracks left by my kitties and their litter-encrusted paws.
3. I drink out of other people's glasses if they'll let me.
4. I use public hand rails without washing my hands afterwards.
5. I put my shoes on the furniture.
6. Quite often, I don't wash fruit before I eat it.
7. I only vacuum twice a month, and that's only if I think the floor looks noticeably dirty.
8. Sometimes, if I am feeling particularly bad, I'll double-dip my chip in the salsa.

Now, about the tagging, I think I only know eight people, so consider yourselves on the list.

Such risky behavoir Robyn - how can you live with yourself? The bitting of the nails after pumping your gas eeehw I use rubber gloves when pumping my gas. I really do. I keep em in my trunk. I've seen some of the nast habbits of mostly guys while they pump gas and... oh well I won't go there.

Like the literal take on things, Robyn.

I'll see what I can figure out.
Yup. We're related. And happily so, from my corner...which, by the way is rather dusty...and if I happened to see a well-aged chocolate chip in the vicinity, I might just lightly wipe it off and pop it in my mouth.

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...

You Just Never Know

This newspaper gig has brought some interesting things. Because of it, I have met all kinds of people and learned all kinds of things. I have interviewed a potter, a stained glass artist, a horse barn owner, Guatemalan immigrants, winery operators and a woman with two uteruses. That last one may seem odd, but she's one of the few women in the world who has given birth to surviving twins, each developing in its own womb (you can see the adorable kids and read the article here ). I have learned about antique steamer trunks, dandelion wine, the history of steel drums and that people in Papua New Guinea are being evacuated from their island because of rising sea levels. I've read books on the repercussions of factory farming, and I've researched childhood obesity—did you know that Ohio ranks 17th on a list of US states in order of weight? Yet, someone in my own town would comment online suggesting we leave our poor kids alone. The other day I was in a court room to cover a case...

Right Brain Dominant

I am reading A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future , by Daniel H. Pink. I wouldn't have chosen this book had I been book hunting because I lean toward fiction—it was a gift from someone who, like me, is right-brain dominate. I haven't gotten very far, just far enough to learn that in Hippocrates' day, the left side of the brain was considered the true source of thought, the thing that separated us from the animals and made us human. It was the source of reason and logic. The right side was considered a useless left over, a parasite. Now we know that both sides of our brains are equally important and equally involved in our daily thoughts and functions. But some of us do seem to be governed by one side more strongly than the other. Me, sometimes I think the left side of my brain has completely atrophied, that the right side governs everything. But I am learning that I don't give that other side enough credit, that logical mathy side. As I read on ab...
