This is a picture taken last year at Emily's house when several of us trekked to San Antonio for Ellie's blessing. On the left side of the table is John, Bill's brother and Laura, his sister. Bill, of course, is at the head of the table and I am trying to hide behind the Christmas tree. I include this photo to introduce you to Laura, who has tasked me with listing five things that my readers may not know about me. This will be difficult as I feel like I am an open book. I will have to dig deep...1. I have made a study of both the Lizzie Borden murders (of course she was never convicted, but really...) and the Jack the Ripper murders. I have a small collection of books on the subject which includes several photos of the victims.
2. I HATE spiders and snails. I am not afraid of them, I HATE them. I smash all snails I see and I have been known to kill black widows with the palm of my hand. (You have to be fast.)
3. I don't like to make phone calls. I'm really bad at chit chat and I feel like I communicate better in writing. I have an arrangement with my visiting teaching partner. If she will make all the appointment calls I will prepare every lesson and handout.
4. I enjoy bland food.
5. One of my biggest pet peeves is public misspelling.
Okay...any surprises? Laura has already tagged Clare and Emily, so I will round out the family tree by tagging Carl, Liza and Sarah. Let's see how cooperative they are... Give them 48 hours, then start spamming them with complaints.
I knew all those things pretty much. But I am sure that some of your readers will find those surprising- you may have even freaked a few people out with the Jack the Ripper interest and spider smashing! You are definitely a woman with many layers!
