Ok let’s see:

1.  I could eat Marie’s Blue Cheese dressing with just about anything.  I think the USDA should make it its own food group!

2.  I spent my junior year in high school in Brazil as an exchange student.

3.  I love Jane Austen books and movies – I re-read “Pride and Prejudice” at least once a year.

 4.  I adore professional baseball – I could watch it for hours on end!!!

5.  As a kid, I once ate an entire stick of pepperoni and then denied all knowledge of it.  I think I might have had my parents convinced that they never really bought one.  I know that being a thief and a liar is nothing of which to be proud but it does make me chuckle to think of how it now!!!

6.   I am a huge sci-fi fan – Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Doctor Who, Star Trek (in its many forms), etc.

Ok and I tag: Alice, Michele, Mary Alice, Lindsay, Mary Ellen, and Joann.
