100 Things continued: Items 27-37 (You can find items 1-26/A-Z here).  Sorry for today’s brevity, but my husband has a literature paper due on Friday and I have some heavy editing to attend to.  Back to the regularly scheduled program tomorrow or Friday.

27. I can weave my fingers into something that resembles an ostrich’s head. AND, I can give him a tongue. Maybe I’ll show you sometime, if you’re lucky!

28. I am an only child.

29. I have a 36ish-year-old stepsister, but we’ve never been close and haven’t lived in the same city aside from when I first came into the picture and she was too cool for school. Her loss - I always wanted a big sister, but she wasn’t obliging.

30. I can make 3 loops with my tongue, but I can’t tie a cherry stem despite my best efforts!

31. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up career-wise, but I know unequivocally that I want to be a mom more than anything.

32. I love love love to rollerskate. I grew up on 8 wheels and even took figure skating classes when I was younger.

33. My father doesn’t have a bellybutton. When I was little, he told me his parents found him under a cabbage leaf. I didn’t believe him.

34. I have been to Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. I’ve set foot in Arizona, California, and Ohio, but not for more than a few hours.

35. I’ve also been to England, France and Spain.

36. I lived in Madrid for 6 weeks in 1998. I had a lot of fun, but was too young and intimidated to take full advantage. I never kept in touch with my host family and I deeply regret that.

37. My first car was a 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. It was a big white land-yacht with a blue vinyl roof and the thing was a tank. Good thing too, because I totaled it 4 months later
