I’ve been tagged by Nannette to write 10 random things about myself.
1. I truly believe every doctor I meet secretly thinks I’m an idiot. It’s just the way they always say, “Would you like me to write that down for you?”
2. I haven’t ever skied.
3. Every morning when I wake up the first thing I do is stand on my tippy-toes to make sure I can still stand on my tippy-toes.
4. I love doing sit-ups.
5. I wanted my name to be Suzette when I was in high school and subscribed to a forest’s worth of magazines in the name of Suzette Dorton.
6. Past embarassing crushes I am now over: Donahue, Boy George and The Fonz.
7. I prefer lemony to chocolaty.
8. Only recently did I get the pun in “The Beatles.” It’s Beatles. I do get it now.
9. I was once fired from a job as a waitress at a VERY fancy restaurant in San Francisco because I couldn’t open a bottle of wine at the table–I’d totally choke. They called and left a message. My roommate got the message, copied it on to a post-it and put it on my door. It read something along the lines of “(Blank) called. You’re fired. You must be an awful waitress. (Blank) didn’t even say sorry and he was kind of laughing.” The WORST part was that I was dating (Blank) at the time. That’s how bad I was at opening that stupid bottle of wine. I still have a mini-anxiety attack everytime I see a corkscrew.
10. I can’t pronounce the word “amicable.” Many have tried to help, but I just can’t do it.
Vicki, Chris, and Robin consider yourself tagged. (Sorry if you are swamped.)
Hi.Freakin.Larious. I must concur with #7 as well.
Now I simply must know…what fancy schmancy restaurant in SF?! (bad ju-ju for the roommate and “Blank”)
I REMEMBER the Suzette days! How funny. I had to spell my name with a Y. We wasted a lot of hours watching Phil, although it did make us feel smart right?
I was shocked and honored you stopped by my blog (a bit disappointing eh?) and posted a comment about my link to the mom’s blog. I stumbled upon your blog and awhile ago and wouldn’t even share it on my favorites (I only gave them a taste with the mom’s blog-mommy’s brain is not a toy is the best) with my friends because I’m so in awe of your entertaining writing talent and secretly wanted to steal your ideas and have my friends think I was creative and witty. Dang, now you caught me! I LOVE your blog–did I already say that? Now it’s just getting weird.
I was so flustered I got the name of your blog wrong, I meant Mommy’s Mind Is Not a Toy (of course you knew that but I wanted you to know I knew). What kind of a fan am I? Love it!!!!
I love the name Suzette and maybe that should be your new nickname for me to you.
All this time I thought your nickname was LSD (Little Susie Dorton). Boy do I feel like a jerk.
