Eight Things

I was tagged by Drama Mama, a reader who makes very kind comments and has quite a life herself! I’m supposed to tell you 8 things you might not know about me.

1) I want a fourth baby. I might want to adopt one with special needs. Why? Why not?
2) I adore bombshell fashion: cherry red lipstick, hot pink fingernails, high heels, short shorts, etc. I might go completely blonde one of these days.
3) I am highly attracted to Steve Jobs, Kevin Costner, and Bill Clinton.
4) I believe all women should wear bikinis on the beach, regardless of age, size, firmness, and color.
5) I believe no men should wear bikinis on the beach. The best thing on a man is long, colorful surfer shorts. I know, I know, they don’t have that little lining! So??? Live a little!
6) My favorite thing on earth to do is to write; my second favorite thing is going out at night; my third is staying at the beach beyond 4, when the sun is more mellow and lower in the sky and people have gone home.
7) I used to always fantasize about moving; since I’ve been in this house, I never do (seven years).
8) I wish I could find out what it really feels like to be someone else, to really get inside someone else’s head. How different would it be? Does red look the same to you as it does to me? Do flowers smell as sweet? Is sweet sweet to you? Or what I call stinky?

Take it from me, you do NOT want to see me in a bikini. Just take my word for it. {{{{{{Shudder}}}}}}

Maybe in a year…I have been dieting and have lost about 47 lbs. But not right now. No way.

As for #2, I think we could do some SERIOUS damage shopping together.

I think we should go lipstick and nail polish shopping and take John Elder Robison with us.

Adoption is wonderful! It keeps you young (or at least that’s what I’m telling myself)

I love this! Lovely little window into you (even if I don’t know if we find the same things stinky)…shows how generous you are. Thanks, and thanks for your blog!
