Getting to know you - me

I saw this a few weeks ago on Sarah's blog at Sara in Le Petit Village and I think it's a fun idea. It also doesn't require tagging other people. If you want to join in please do.
I don't usually share much about other stuff in my life so some of the newer visitors to my blog, (hello new readers and thanks for stopping by) will probably be interested bored stiff, to find out some incredibly exciting facts about me.

So here goes,

  2. Thank You - just saying it so you don't think I'm rude. :)
    What a great list, Now I know you wear underwear. What is it with everyone and snow pea sprouts? I can never eat them neatly. I'm sorry to hear about your fish.

  6. Nice to get to know you a bit better! I'm wondering what "right or left" means? Is it your political preference or if you are right or left handed? Just wondering ;).

  7. Fun! Sorry about your fish :-(

    I do like Brussel Sprouts (are they the same?) but we only have them at Christmas. Nice to find out some extra stuff about you :-)

  9. Thank you for sharing. We too like to have a Beta fish hanging about on our kitchen counter, ours is getting elderly too. I hope you get another, maybe after you move? And Clint Eastwood said that, probably in the movie Dirty Harry, my fellow says it a fair bit.

  10. Nice little titbits of info. We have fish too - we keep trying to have new fish but the old ones just think the new ones are sushi and eat them. Suggested euthanasia for the old ones but the girls won't have it!

  14. Of course the 3/4" is important, that's almost a whole inch. Height is an important thing in our house these days, Drama Teen is worried about not getting any taller.

    Thanks for sharing. I hate vacuuming too.
