This one is Sharon's fault. The Rules:

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

Okay, 8 things I THINK are new about me:

1. I have had Cat Scratch Fever. No kidding.

2. I have trouble pronouncing words that begin with "W" and "R" if in a row. But the "R" word has to come after the "W" word. For example, I can say, Right Way Whale. I cannot, however, say, Way Red Whale. It comes out as, "Way Wed Whale." This was a huge source of amusement for pilots in the Air Force, when I'd give them a forecast or recent observation that was appended with "Wet Runway." It always ended up being "Wet Wunway." They'd think they were pretty funny when they said, "Thanks for the forecast, Elmer Fudd!" Yeah, pilots are hilarious.

3. Water chestnuts make me throw up. Just biting into one makes me ralph.

4. I can walk into a house and know if someone died inside it.

5. When I was pregnant, I refused to find out the sex of my baby because I wanted it to be a surprise…even though I just KNEW the baby would be a boy.

6. I've been on the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation

7. I rarely shave both legs at the same time. I do one per day. (My hair is blond, fine, and grows SLOW so there's never any stubble.)

8. I once spilled an entire pitcher of beer on an Air Force colonel. Teach him to call me Elmer…

Okay, I'm not tagging anyone, but take pity on me and just do this for fun. Yeah, that's it. And then come tell me you did it! *g*
