Six Unimportant Facts About Me:
1. I have a fantasy of traveling the United States in an RV after retirement.
2. My mom used to make me tithe my Halloween candy to her, half for her, half for me. I still hold a grudge.
3. My New Hampshire babysitter won the Caldecott Award.
4. My alarm is set for 7:04.
5. I love Gustav Klimt.
6. My dad told me Santa really wanted a beer and cigarettes on Christmas Eve, so that’s what I left every year. Camels and PBR.

Six unimportant things about me.
1. My oldest son who just turned 14 last month is now officially taller than me. And I am not short.
2. If anyone mentions “Class of 2012″ I feel physically sick. (See above.)
3. Kwane is right. Only Hellman’s mayonnaise should be on a BLT. My husband once threatened to divorce me when I bought Kraft mayonnaise (geez, it wasn’t the sweet stuff!).
4. I like to knit and crochet, although I’ve never made either a sweater or a pair of socks. Right now, I’m knitting a shawl.
5. I live within 10 miles of Nora Roberts. However, I have no clue where she lives in the county. Her husband has a nice bookstore, though.
6. I once bought a critique from HelenKay Dimon (who writes wonderful books), but I have yet to cash it in. Hopefully, Ms. Dimon is very patient. Hence, I have signed onto the 70 Days of Sweat for a third time.
Thanks Megan for the opportunity. I’ll go tag each of my kids twice. They have enough energy (and opinions) for two people each.

Megan, I love the beer and ciggs Christmas tradition! So funny. Now I have to go and look up Gustav Klimt.
Sandy, I’m a knitter too and socks are a breeze to make. Give it a try. I wish I could do some with patterns. I’m not that advanced.

I swear if I had kids Megan, that’s what I would do! Love Gustav Klimt as well. The Neue Galerie in Manhattan is having a Klimt exhibition but it’s not worth the $15.00 except to look at the Adele Bauer painting.

Your dad was fabulous.
I did mine!

Thanks, SandyL, and I am just waiting for the Eight Year Old to be taller than me–I’m 5′6″, which isn’t short, but not tall, especially since Daddy is 6′1″.
Yeah, I don’t think I mentioned the beer and cigarette thing while Dad was alive because he’d feel bad about it, but I always thought it was funny. Of course I knew who Santa was, given that choice of Xmas Eve leavings.

1) I sometimes like to buy “Teen Vogue”
2) I also like to watch the “Gossip Girl” show (though I don’t like the books, I luv the show!), and I really envy Blair Waldorf’s hair. Does this combined with #1 mean I’m still 14 inside?
3) I’ve only had to wear a cast once in my life, when I broke my wrist rollerskating in 5th grade
4) Speaking of 5, I wear a size 5 shoe. It’s really hard to find high-heeled strappy sandals in a 5.
5) I had my first published work, a short story about a bunch of fruit that comes to life, in a children’s magazine when I was 8. I never got over it.
6) Hmmmm–it’s hard to find 6. I know-in high school I played Juliet in the school play. Never got over that, either.

Amanda:
My friend wears a size 5, too, she buys in the kids’ section. And I only ever had one cast in my life, too!
I had my first publication when I was about 7, I drew a butterfly for Cricket Magazine.
