I got tagged by Larissa  and nowheymama for basically the same meme, (although poor Larissa tagged me like 100 years ago) so I thought I would combine them and do another 6 random things post!

1. I am a transplanted Northerner. I occasionally say y’all but not as much as I do on this blog. I’ve also been known to say “fixin’ to” and I’m ashamed of myself when those words come out of my mouth. While I generally don’t have an accent anymore, it does still come out when I say “Fort Lauderdale.” I just can’t seem to make my mouth get past that AW sound in the middle. Fourt LAW-da-dale.

2. Sugar makes my mouth taste furry. So I generally avoid very sweet things, like sugar in tea or chocolate bars. Whipped cream, on the other hand, is manna from heaven.

3. Last Monday, I ate two BLTs … one at noon, for lunch, and another about an hour later because the first was so good. I repeated the experience on Wednesday after buying a new tomato. We use Duke’s mayo, which I think is a Southern thing. How did I ever live without Duke’s mayo?

4. I am a list maker, If I get more than one idea in my head, I tend to lose it. Lists keep me sane and whole. I tend to leave pads of paper and pens everywhere so I can start a list whenever the mood strikes me.

5. I love playing games and I am very competitive. It’s pleasurable for me to spend an hour working on a crossword, doing the Jumble, or figuring out the Sudoku. That way, no one gets hurt by my fierce need to win at everything. For I become rather cross when I get my ass handed to me.

6. I’ve never been to a baseball game. I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. I don’t understand the allure of baseball. It seems so … boring to me. Even watching the highlights on ESPN is boring. Oh look, another guy hit the ball. Ho hum. The only time I ever got excited about baseball was in 1996, when the Braves and Yankee were in the World Series. I was at school in Athens and derived GREAT JOY in rooting for the Yankees, even though I had NO REAL affection for either team, let alone the entire sport.

In the past month, two of my lovely readers bestowed awards on little ole’ me! So a big shout out THANK YOU to  Jenni and Bonbon for sharing the love. (I think I’m supposed to pass it on, but I am lazy and uncreative. And also? Pregnant! Pregnancy card! WOO!)
