5 things you may not know about Sister (me!)

I heard that John Updike tried to write at least 3 pages per day, every day....so, surely I can write more blog posts....and lists are a good place to start.

Here are some things you may not know about me:

1. I have a large head.

Although that could, perhaps, be taken figuratively, I mean it literally. Most people are shocked when they find out my hat size. I won't list the size here since the number is too large to fit on the blog. I heard my mother and TZM talking about my head during our xmas visit. Mom remembers that I saw an episode of Oprah (a long time ago, obviously, because I haven't been able to stand watching Oprah for decades) in which she talked about her own large head and mentioned her head circumference. I immediately went and measured my own head, then said, "My head is the same size as Oprah's!" I've told TZM he's cleared to use "pumpkinhead" as an endearment.

2. I have disproportionately large calves.

Maybe this is only an assumption on my part. All I know is that I've spent 2 years trying to find a pair of zippered knee-high boots that will actually zip over my calves: it can't be done. Those boots are being worn by somebody, but maybe most women have this problem, too. Yes?

3. When I'm out in public, I often think, "What if that person there could read my mind?"

That thought usually comes right after I've thought something unkind about someone, but lately I'm preoccupied with what it would be like to be able to read minds.

4. I don't read many books anymore.

Shouldn't I be reading all the time? I'm a librarian!
But, yeah, no...I read a lot of stuff online, but when I get home, end up not reading many books. But, I love books and check out stacks and stacks of things I'd like to read.

5. I buy PowerBall tickets.

I had never bought a lottery ticket...ever...until about 3 weeks ago when I bought a ticket for the first Florida PowerBall drawing. You know, you've got to be "in it to win it."
