7 Things

A couple of weeks ago I received an email from my brother Dennis informing me that I have been tagged! There was a link to his blog. After reading the rules I wasn't going to participate as I have no friends with blogs to link to. Dennis has told me to do it any way. So I am.

Here are the rules:

1. Link to the original tagger and list these rules in your post.

2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.

3. Tags seven people at the end of the post by leaving their names and links to their blogs.

4. Let them know they have been tagged.

7 Things:

1. During my elementary school and junior high years I had a lot of pen pals. I loved getting letters. I had pen pals from Illinois, New Hampshire, India, and Australia. I wrote to my Australian pen pal for several years. She loved Bon Jovi and Anne of Green Gables. I don't know where any of them are now.
2. I love Alanis Morisette. When she puts out a new CD I usually rush out and get it the day it is released.
3. I once had a roomate named Garfield. Shaun and Bryan, my other roomates, and I hoped he would be like the cat. Instead he worked at a strip club (after dropping out of his truck driving course), was a drug addict, "dated" a girl named Candy, and left with the DVD player and without paying his rent. We took our anger out on the dresser he left behind. We also had the locks changed.
4. I studied classical Greek for five semesters at university. At the time it seemed like a good idea. Sadly, I have now forgotten a lot of what I learned.
5. I think mangoes are better than candy...chocolate included.
6. Every year I try to read 52 books (one for each week of the year). I have never been able to do it. Some weeks I am able to read 3 books others weeks I don't get through any. I keep track of them in a little book. I always put a rush on at the end of the year but I never make it. Last year I managed 40 books. My highest was 43 in 2005.
7. The one country I would really like to visit is Russia. My husband is not so keen.

The tag ends with me as I have no blogging friends to link to.

Picture Perfect

Thanks to my brother, Dennis, I have a new photo gallery. It is located at www.dancingwithkangaroos.com . From now on I will be posting photos here instead of on Flickr.
