I’ve been tagged by Jen to share “7 Things You Always Wanted to Know About Me” so here goes:
1. I’m a blackbelt in karate.
2. I can speak or read seven languages (French, German, Italian, Spanish, English, Latin, Sanskrit).
3. I love to stand on my head, and do this often in order to relax.
4. My first word, as a child, was bologna.
5. I once competed in a bodybuilding contest.
6. My favorite color is brown.
7. None of this stuff is true! I made it all up, because after spending the last year working on my book, I am very, very sick of myself. I guess you could call this my first attempt at fiction, and boy does it feel good! (With all due apologies to everyone who expected me to tell the truth; did the Sanskrit give it away, even a little bit?)
I tag Suz, Vicki, Jessica, Michelle, Dream Mom, Kathy and Amy.

When I got to #5, I was like, wow, supermom, indeed…and then, #7? You got me. Very smooth.

I should be truthful! Here are the real answers:
1. I can’t do karate. I’m a little bit clutzy.
2. I took French in high school with Monsieur Newmark and all I remember is, “Je m’appelle Jennifer.”
3. I can’t stand on my head, refer to #1.
4. I’m pretty sure my first word was not bologna.
5. Nooooo to bodybuilding.
6. I do like brown, but my favorite color is blue.
7. I hope to be unsick of myself sometime soon…

I think you’re Superwoman anyway, so none of this surprized me in the least. But I must say that I am relieved to find that you are more like me than like Superwoman:-).

I’m a sucker…you completely had me fooled. I was thinking “wow, she’s really well-rounded”. Good one!

Thank you for laughing with me, my friends! (And you believe in me more than I do, myself!)

I was impressed by the languages, but I didn’t think brown was anyone’s favorite color.

I was starting to feel very insecure there for a bit.
Noelle // May 17, 2007 at 12:44 pm |
Very Funny. I was already in awe at the languages part!!!! I was thinking, wow, that’s amazing, I didn’t know sanskri was a language! I thought it was something to do with yoga.

Too funny! I was thinking I hadn’t accomplished much for a minute.
vickiforman // May 17, 2007 at 6:26 pm |

The standing on your head often gave me pause. I just can’t imagine doing that with three young kids around– that wouldn’t be relaxing! LOL
Shannon // May 24, 2007 at 2:58 am |
I was so impressed with your language ability I didn’t get any further, LOL! And no, the sanskrit didn’t give it away…I was just thinking how brilliant you must be!
