6 Random Things

Last week my sister, Alaina, tagged me to write 6 random things about myself. I'm just now getting around to fulfilling it.

1. I highly dislike Feta cheese. Even the smell kind of turns my stomach. There are a few dishes with small portions of feta in them that I like, but overall, I could do without it.

2. I love ribbon. I have since I was a little girl--I'd suck my thumb and stroke the ribbon edge of my blanket (once when I was a toddler, I even substituted the silk flower arrangement in the middle of our dining room table...Dad managed to get a photograph). I still find stroking ribbon to be soothing.

3. When I was a little I wanted to be a nurse when I grew up. When I grew up, I went into literature instead. While I actually love science, I've never had interest in pursuing a career in it.

4. One job I think I'd like doing, but have no idea how to get into, is being a professional organizer. It's a real job! Even Anne Tyler's book, Saint Maybe, has a character who is an organizer.

5. I know that ladybugs are good bugs, but I can't stand how they get into the house--sometimes lots at a time--and they crunch if you squash them.

6. I've always wanted to visit Australia and Israel.

That's it from me. I tag, Margaret J., Heather L., and Rebecca S. to list 6 Random Things about themselves. Have fun!
