7 + 3 = A Perfect 10...??

I've been tagged for two different memes and I thought I'd give you all double the fun and do a two-in-one.

First, Karolee at My Montana Moments tagged me for 7 Random Things about Me. I did something similar awhile back, but let me just say I could easily list 70...'cause I'm just a random kind of girl.

#1. I never sneeze more than one time. I like sneezing, especially when I have those nasty colds. A good 'ole sneeze makes me feel better...kinda tingly or something. I envy serial sneezers.

#2. I've never had the chicken pox. The younger of my two brothers got them at age 25. He was deathly ill.

#3. I cannot drive a stick shift. My boss has a cute red stick-shift BMW and I can always cop out of any chore having to do with her car because...well... I can't drive it.

#4. The least flattering color for me when it comes to clothing is peach. The best? Benjamin Moore #1420 - Softened Violet. Not that I wear paint colors, but if I did, that would be the one I would choose.

#5. I won first place in the State of Iowa poetry contest when I was in 6th grade (1978), for a poem I wrote 5 minutes before lunch entitled The Future. The last line was, The future is like a closed door, waiting to be opened. I was nothing if not cliche back then.

#6. I got glasses in 4th grade and contacts in 7th. I'm legally blind in my right eye. But you'd never know it by looking at me.

#7. I really kinda like loading the dishwasher, especially glasses and plates. Forks and all the baby bottle paraphernalia, not so much. And I don't have a baby anymore, but he still drinks bottles. It's my issue, not his.



Next, An Iowa Mom tagged me for this 3 Things Meme:


Three jobs I have had in my life:
1. Lifeguard (but Carolyn the Pool Lady does not care. Not one single bit.)
2. Human Resources Director - I got burned out on people's sense of entitlement during the dot.com boom
3. Executive Assistant - oh, the fun I had!

Three places I have lived (I'm not very out there when it comes to moving. I've only lived in Iowa and Georiga. So, I'll list three cities I've called home here in Georgia)
1. Duluth - known for some great golfing
2. the Buckhead area of Atlanta - known for some great eating
3. Marietta - known for the Big Chicken
