She Writer Blogger Ball Redux

I'd like to welcome any She Writes members dropping by from the Blogger Ball Redux.   I had a such wonderful time discovering fellow member's blogs last go round and can't wait to connect with some more talented writers this weekend.


As part of the getting to know you suggestion, I thought I'd share the first ten quirky things about me that come to mind:

1.  I can still recite the entire To Be or Not To Be soliloquy from Hamlet at a spit-fire pace twenty years after I  memorized it for drama class.
2.  I am distantly related to a famous pirate.
3.  I cannot think of a dessert I do not like.  Some may be better than others, but they are all good in some way, shape, or form.
4.  I don't like big weddings and think everyone should just elope.  And don't even think of asking me to be a bridesmaid.   Guess that's why running a bridal boutique was not the right career for me.
5.  I can't watch television, work out, or do much of anything without a book in my hands.
6.  I think I am the only person in America who has never had a Starbucks coffee or watched American Idol.
7.  I've never really seen snow.
8.  I used to be nicknamed "concert girl" because I adore the thrill of getting lost in live music and would travel far and wide to see my favorite bands.
9.  I actually liked being an only child and now have an only child.  And yes, it will stay that way.
10.   My hubby, brother-in-law, cousin and I all share the same birthday.  And yes, I was careful not to get knocked-up during a certain window to carry on that tradition.

And now I'm off to dust off my dancing shoes to prepare for the ball...  No, wait--actually I'll sit here in my gym/writing clothes as I waltz through the blogosphere.   I'll save the dancing heels for my concert Sunday night...
