Okay, I can face reality. This is blogworld. Try as I might, I can’t evade these meme-taggers forever.

7 Odd and/or Interesting Things

Since there are approximately 123,456,789 memes currently circulating, I need to explain which one this is. Fortunately, just seven odd and interesting things about moi. I think everyone tagged so far is a designer-type, too. Oh, and it was Lisa Wood who tagged me.

Interesting/Odd Item, the first: 

I really hate high heels. Really. Hate. Them. Give me my Tretorns with the fuzzy linings any day. I admit it; I’m not glamorous. But while I may be harder to sweep off my feet, at least I’m less likely to sprain my ankle.

Interesting/Odd Item, the second:

Continuing with the clothing-should-be-comfortable theme, I believe we would all prosper and be wise and kind if we lived in a pajama colony. 

Interesting/Odd Item, the third:

I appear to collect desks, though I rarely work or write at one. Still, a room is not complete without a desk.

Interesting/Odd Item, the fourth:

I remain goofily in love with my husband. He’s my best friend and he’s the dreamiest. (Those two kids of ours ain’t too bad, either.)

Interesting/Odd Item, the fifth:

I like lists.

Interesting/Odd Item, the sixth:

I enjoy quaint and droll language. I doth, indeed.

Interesting/Odd Item, the last:

My favorite list comes from Connie Willis’ novel Bellwether. It’s a list of things one might write down if asked to write a trendy pop-psych-y list of “action items.” Read and learn, grasshopper.

1. Optimize potential
2. Facilitate Empowerment
3. Implement visioning. 
4. Strategize priorities. 
5. Augment core structures.

I’m tagging Kathryn Presner, Richard Miller, Graham Smith, Kristarella, and Chris Pearson. Tag, you’re it.
