Wow, interesting. We DO have a lot of things in common, but some of them are totally opposite. I didn't have and email address, so I figured I'll reply this way. Maybe I should make a 100 list, but the 8 things about me I got tagged with from Tammy will do for now. My husband grew up in SD and we lived in Lakeside for 3 years. One of my two boys is born in Balboa hospital. I used to work for a lawyer in Germany, but now have a heck of a time finding a good job in the states. It sucks, excuse my language. Oh, and sewing machines aren't that scary. I only sew simple things, straight lines like on quilts, but right now I'm into yarn (again). The scrunchies are knitted straight and sewn together. The first one was made in a round, but turned out to be too much trouble with the rubber band inside already.
that was lovely--I've never read your blog before, but your list was so fascinating I kept reading it.
You, fellow animal lover, sound for all the world like a fellow INTJ, LOL! (Bumped into your blog via googling "shrugs.") I live in America's No Longer Finest City, too,(up in the hills of East County, away from the madding crowd, in the middle of a cow field, tho the cows are awol most of the year, boohoo).
PS: I wanted to be a vet, too, when I was younger: never have liked humans as a group at all; critters are much better company (tho I'm totally against the PETA garbage).
Take good care!
