I have been tagged by Niki to share 7 random facts about me.
1. I cannot fall asleep without reading. I bring reading material wherever I do, and I have to read at least a few words before I can sleep–doesn’t matter the time or how tired I am–I have to read.
2. I constantly feel torn between knitting and yoga. When I get home from work, I could do one or the other, and since knitting can take place in my pajamas, it usually wins. I am hoping to go to a workshop next month about creating your own home yoga practice, and then making myself do it before I allow myself to knit.
3. I love old movies. Generally, I can turn the tv to an old movie channel, and just leave it all day (until the movies from the 70s come on. I do not like those). I especially like musicals and romantic comedies.
4. I cannot leave a knitting project on the needles without an explicit plan to come back to it. There are times where I really want to start something new, but if I do that, I will finish the something new and immediately return to the project I put down. It makes me antsy to have more than one project going at any one time.
5. I hate cooking. I wish that I like it more, but I really, really do not enjoy it. T is a wonderful cook, and while he enjoys it more than I do, he would really prefer that I cook too. And, generally, I don’t. I have cookbooks that look wonderful, can buy all of the ingredients, but never cook shit.
6. Speaking of, I swear constantly. I know when to turn it off, but generally, I am swearing a lot. Doesn’t bother me, but sometimes I realize that others might not like it.
7. I don’t collect anything. I always wanted to start a collection but never found anything I liked well enough to actually collect.
I tag Lisa and anyone else who wants to do it.

I’m with you on the more than one project on the needles…. makes me uneasy.

Ha! You didn’t strike me as the “swear like a sailor” type but I bet you have some colorful phrases! What a fun and interesting post.

I knew there was a reason I liked you so much! #1, #2 (though for me it’s knitting vs. reading – my yoga is near non-existent as of late), #3, #4, and #5 could all have been me!

Ha! Swearing is something I do a lot of… and it is frowned upon down here.
