Seven, 7, how many is Seven

Lynilu tagged me with a challenge to share 7 things about myself that you might not know:

1) Just out of college, I met a military man and moved across the country to live with him, thinking that we would get married. He then got stationed in Korea and ended up with a bride before he returned to the states. So much for marrying him.

2) I am totally addicted to reality TV and would love to be on Survivor. I've applied for the show 2 or 3 times. One day I will be on the show.

3) I can sew really well and make a lot of things without a pattern or instructions. I've made dresses, skirts, shorts, etc. but mostly make curtains, pillows, etc. now.

4) I originally took up playing golf to meet men. I realized that it may not be the way to meet men, when I got paired with two Chinese men who didn't speak a word of English.

5) I love negotiating for deals on cars and have gotten great deals on every car that I have bought. I even got a date with the car salesman once.

6) I had never bought anything at a garage sale until 2 years ago and now our house if furnished mostly by garage sale finds that are totally awesome.

7) I am not a dog person and don't really care for most dogs. I am a Sadie person so I guess that counts.

We've had a good weekend and I'll fill you all in on that this week. We are getting back on track with our exercise program at 5:30 in the morning. Need to hit the sack.

Great list.

There is still some time for you to make me a Laura Ingals Wilder dress. :)

That is an interesting list! I admit I laughed out loud at #1, not that it was really funny, but because it is the kind of thing that makes us remember our own experiences.

I have a niece who is like you on #3; she looks at something and whips it up. I'm so envious of your talent!

And I'm SO glad you're a Sadie person.

pssssst. Don't even consider the Laura Ingals dress for Caroline. She is already too obsessed. Don't feed the addiction.

Okay I am totally jealous of your sewing talent. My sister is an awesome seamstress also.
Please PLEASE make Caroline a Laura Ingalls Dress. I would love to see her in one - a bonnet too!
