tagged – i’m it :bonus:

Emily from Orange Beautiful tagged me this morning. The rules? Name 8 facts or habits about myself. I’ve got my eight:

  1. I am deathly afraid of flying. The week before we leave, I freak. Crazy sub-fact: when we fly from Boston to Nantucket on a tiny little 7 seater, I am not afraid. Go figure.
  2. I write little snippets about each day into my planner/calendar, which becomes my diary …
  3. I must finish the Sudoku in the newspaper each morning. Bonus points for finishing the NYTimes crossword.
  4. I can play piano by ear (freakish, I know) but hate to “perform”.
  5. I am a recycling nut who will bring home stuff from vacation to recycle.
  6. I must buy my favorite magazines the day they hit the stands – and I know when that day is …. (thanks, R, for being my willing accomplice!)
  7. I run 3-4-5 miles on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, and have since college, which trust me, was a long time ago.
  8. I got engaged to my husband 17 years ago today, sitting in the park along Boston Harbor. We had been dating for four months and two days …

Thanks, Emily! I tag Louise, Liz, Megan, Jessica, Chelsea, Shari, Marta, and Karen …..

    I’m afraid of flying too!! I have gotten better, but it’s still pretty bad.

    Thanks for the tag – actually a fun exercise.

    Happy engagement anniversary Jane! I got your card, so cute of you to send.
    Looking forward to meeting soon pre-flight to Nantucket. And I’m the same way — terrified of jumbo jets but put me on a 10 seater from JFK to Portland or Burlington or anywhere else and I love it.

    jane :: love it… I’m in awe of numbers 2, 4, 5, 7 & 8.

    P.S. DON’T go to the SCOOP if you want G&P’s invites to be a surprise!

    Thanks for tagging me, I think my answers will be a little different from yours. For instance my piano skills are non existent and I havn’t run a mile since I was in high school. On the other hand I’m a recycling nut too. Our council only recycles certain plastics so any other types I keep in a bag and every few weeks I put them into a relatives recycling bin who lives in a council zone that does recycle those plastics.
