6 UN-spectacular Things About Me

Cat has tagged me to do this un-meme (heh)

The subject is….
“6 UN-spectacular things about me”

As with everything in life there are rules:
1. Link the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

Here’s my jab at it:

  1. I’m a couch potato. I would sit in front of the TV (or movies) all day if I could – and as long as I had my laptop to check email occasionally, I wouldn’t be bored at all.
  2. I’ve been known to wear maternity pants – recently. (The stretch band with extra support to hold the tummy up (in) is comfortable – and uh, helps!)
  3. I have freckles. Lots of them. Everywhere. (Well, everywhere the sun shines πŸ˜‰ )
  4. I take a half-hour shower. No matter how hard I try to speed it up, I just cannot get out from under that spray any sooner.
  5. I used to sell Pampered Chef products. I didn’t do so well with it – but it means that I have a kitchen full of kick-butt stuff. (I love my stoneware!)
  6. I’m a salt-aholic. I love, love, love salt. (especially if it’s got chocolate too – chocolate covered pretzels. YUM!)
