1. My extended family is weird weird weird. In fact, very few of them would I bother to associate with if I weren't required to. Foo.

2. I love birds. All kinds. Vultures. Ravens. And all the pretty ones, too.

3. I go through phases. Hermit, friendly, hermit, friendly.
Unfortunately, I just had a decade of being friendly, and made some friends and now I want to go hermit, and it's MUCH more difficult. Don't laugh, I am serious. Having friends is too much work.

4. I have a weird part time sort of brain. I guess ADD would describe it. I work in the lab part time, but pick up days so that I am full time. So I do everything at home sorta part time too....half assed housework. Half assed friendship-keeping-up-with....half assed family keeping up with, half assed at hobbies, and half assed at exercise.  The only things I do whole heartedly are taking care of my kids (when they were younger...they're on their own now!) and taking care of my animals and working my ass off when I AM at work.

5. Everytime I see Carolyn Scott and her dog Rookie do that Freestyle Dog Dancing routine on youtube I burst into tears.

6. I burst into tears everytime I see the video (and I did it the first time it happened, too) of Secretariat winning the Belmont by 31 lengths.

7. I hardly ever cry except at above stated times.

8. Oh....one other thing I do whole heartedly. READ. I am in a phase of devouring books. One after the other. Read read read read read. God, I love it!!!
