Eight Things

Okay, over at Laura without Labels (one of the blogs that I regularly delight in) she posted a list of eight things about herself.  Basically eight things that don't need to be known. Not because they are extremely personal--but things that are not necessarily advertised about yourself.  As I have stated in previous blogging, I love lists. Ergo, my Eight Things. 

1. I used to smoke a pack a day.
2. I own the Growing Pains soundtrack on CD
3. I have eaten a delight known as duck's blood soup
4. I helped to build houses in St. Croix after a hurricane
5. I met Ted Nugent and Coolio (but not on the same night)
6. I adore musical theatre
7. I am 50% Polish and 50% English
8. My first car was a yellow Mercury Grand Marquis

No tagging anyone, just love list-making.  If you want to write your own, send me a post. We can compare absurdities.

1. I have an unnatural love for salt. I eat all of the salt off of a pretzel before eating the actual pretzel. Sometimes I don't finish the actual pretzel.

2. I hate to admit it, but I am still rather upset that several of my brothers didn't come to my wedding.

3. I have no desire to read Twilight.

4. One of my all-time favorite movies (behind Mary Poppins and Mean Girls) is The Ten Commandments. I can not explain it, but I get really sad if I miss it on TV at Easter time.

5. OK, this might get me banned in the McGregor/ Piontek family, or maybe even from my future hometown altogether, but I could live without Primanti Brothers sandwiches. Whoopee pie, on the other hand, is a different story.

6. I hate driving. Unfortunately, the somewhat recent downturn in airline service has made me hate flying more.

7. I am dying for another puppy, which is an embarrassingly significant part of the reason I want to move out of New York City.

8. My favorite thing to do on a Sunday is wake up in time to watch Sunday Morning on CBS with a hot cup of coffee in one hand and a magazine in the other.

Brilliant. And the Primanti secret is safe with me. Keep in mind that I only eat them once a year. Once a year.
