Six Things
Well out of toddlerhood and into the pre-K years of this blog, I've been tagged, for the very first time. Todd of Beautiful, Funny, Sad, and True, on behalf of all of you, wants to know six things about me.
I'll try.
1. I tend to develop these routines on weekends that I'm in love with for awhile. Then eventually I fall out of love with them and move on. For a long while it was yoga class on Saturday afternoon and then going home hungry and sleepy, having some deliciously fattening thing for lunch (like ham and swiss on a bagel and coffee light and sweet), then sacking out on the couch to read the Times and drift off to sleep. Then, for one reason and another, I stopped doing those things on Saturday afternoon. Now I am smitten with a Friday night routine, which involves stopping off at a particular deli on my way home from seeing friends I often see on Friday night. The deli has all kinds of organic food--not that I only eat organic food or anything, but it has the cereal I like and I can pick up other things that I need for the morning. Then, by the time I'm finished in there, the bus, which comes only once every half hour, and which will take me the half-mile or so to where I live, is just pulling up to the corner. Of course I could walk--I don't really need to take the bus, but, with that unlimited metro card, it's FREE, and plus now I'm carrying groceries. The bus stops just steps from my door, and I always feel very pleased with myself for how efficiently I've managed everything, and also very taken care of.
2. I love that trick that allows you to figure out if a number is divisible by three by adding up the digits. If that number is divisible by three, then the original number is, too. Great for figuring out how much tip to leave when you are out to dinner with three or six or nine people and you want to make the check easily divisible. I not only love the trick, but I love explaining it to people. Sometimes I get so carried away that I try to do the trick when we're dividing the check by four. That confuses the people I'm having dinner with.
3. When I was a kid, I studied piano and cello and went to music camp in the summers.
4. I have the gift of gab.
5. I tend to do things at the last minute.
6. I am prone to nostalgia.
