8 Random Facts About Me (as if there were 8 things anyone didn’t know about me)
1. At 20 years of age I was one number away from winning the powerball jackpot of 42 million dollars. Instead I matched 4 numbers plus the powerball which won me 5,000.
2. I have severe road rage but am not an agressive driver. I expect people to follow the rules and drive responcibly, but of course they never do. So I yell a lot when I’m in the car. Consequencly I have never been ticketed or in an accident.
3. For some reason I think that you are instantly “urban cool” if you live in New York City or Boston. I always think that I would be so much cooler if I lived in one of those places. Alas I know deep in my heart that I will be a dork where ever I live.
4. I am a closet yuppy. “Young Urban Proffessional” as my mother in law tells me. I know it’s true yet I resist to admit it.
5. I think the rudest question on the face of the earth to ask someone is “When are you guys going to have kids?” Or any variation there of. It makes people uncomfortable and it will never be any of your business.
6. I have an uncanny sense of smell. I can easily figure out what something smells like (and usually ruin it for other people). Boligas soup smells like wet cat food when made from scratch.
7. I hate monkies. Like seriously hate them. Like, a personal vandetta against them kind of hate. I don’t know why either. Every time some one brings up monkies or I see them on TV it just brings out a strange primevil rage. My husband thinks this is hilarous & threatens to one day bring one home so he can watch us battle it out.
8. People who have money will never impress me, I really couldn’t care what other people have. The people that really impress me are the ones that are fearless in following their dreams and do amazingly cool things. One of the ladies in my knitting group is retired & lives with her husband on a sail boat. Now that is impressive 
On the knitting front I’m knitting a doily. Yeah, laugh, real mature. Nice. Ok, are we done yet? Yeah, a doily. I don’t know what happened or why I’m doing it, but all I can say is that I’m 1/2 way done & very pleased with myself. What will I do with it you ask? I really couldn’t say.
I finished Valpuri yesterday & she is currently blocking. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have a sweater, a doily (enough laughing already, seriously!), and hopefully Pat’s snail mitts to show off. Then it will be time to cast on all sorts of new things!
