My pal Donna B. wants to know 8 random things and I don't want to leave her hangin'.
1. I can quote a half dozen Gary Larson cartoons. I even had a t-shirt I got at the Peabody hotel in Memphis.
2. I have an unhealthy addiction to green olives, marinated artichoke hearts, hummus, guiltless gourmet spicy bean dip, feta cheese, lite three cheese ranch dressing and nachos. I had three of these for supper on Monday night, can you guess which three went together?
3. My husband has gradually made me a Ninja Warrior convert. But he will never make me like the other ridiculously dumb shows on G4. One of them gives away free stuff via a monkey for Pete's sake.
4. I have 22 pairs of shoes, down due to the summer clothing switchout and purge. It includes one pair of red shoes, and pairs of heels that haven't seen my feet in 3 years. But I might need them some day. I went to college with 50 pairs. I'm doing better. They are all size 10.
5. I had a weird dream on Saturday night about Dr. House from TV . It involved a prison, a swimming pool and escaping prision or catching some bad guys who were trying to break out. I think it had to do with watching The Departed and Stuart Little in the same day.
6. I never could keep a diary as a kid. I tried, but always ended up abandoning it after a few entries. I tried so hard to be a tortured, expressive, angsty teen - writing brilliant missives in my little scratch book. But I'm no good at it. As Donna probably remembers from my journal entries. The only time I ever did any real writing was to break up with boyfriends and say the things I couldn't say out loud to people.
7. I always bring my pillow with me when I'm not going to be sleeping in my own bed.
8. I own 7 Barry Manilow CD's, including a boxed set. I've never watched the video that came with it. I have been to see him in concert 3 times, once as a child, once at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, and once at the Birmingham Verizon Ampitheatre.
I think that's about as random as I can get. Stay tuned tomorrow for something equally ridiculous!
My best friend from high school had seen Barry 17 times by the time we were seniors. She's a huge fan and of course, she was alone in her love. However, in the time since I have come to love his music and would love to see him in concert!
Favorite song: Mandy

Ridiculous ! Oh, I think quite normal. Especially #2. Love all those gourmet items. Finally found the time to snoop in your shelves and shed. Mr. Cheeky's shelves remind me of my girls' when they were little. We had most of the same titles. Thanks for playing.

I'm with you on all those foods except the olives. Blah.
I totally love Barry Manilow, but I can't say I have seen him in concert.

I like the marinated artichoke hearts and nachos. You can keep the rest.
I bet I have more than 20 pairs of shoes. All, also size 10. Wide.

I am OBSESSED with The Far Side. Obsessed I say!

I have so many pairs of shoes I've lost count, also all sized 10.
And I also love all the foods you mentioned, yummy!

I could've written the same list of favorite foods. Yum. And I, too love Gary Larson. We have about 4 of his coffee table books.
(But dude...Barry Manilow?!)
