I’ve been tagged by Green Stew with the Seven Random Things About You meme. Hmmm… I think I’ve done this one, maybe even twice. But I am filled to overflowing with random things. So here we go!

1. I wash my hands obsessively. I enforce the rule strictly in the house, too.
2. I HATE being sick. See #1.
3. I sometimes crave french fries late at night.
4. I love the smell of pine trees.
5. I’ve been searching for YEARS for perfume that smells like roses. Can’t find any. ?!
6. I use four to five pillows in bed. I have two under my head, one over my head (it’s noisy around here), one between my knees, and another just to have handy. :D
7. I love doing product reviews. I do them for fun. It’s nice to get paid for them, though.
So there are seven more random facts about me, for the data-mining bots at Google. As much as I would loooove to inflict this meme on my friends (hehe!), I am not going to pass this on directly. If you want to do it, that would be great! Leave a comment here and post your url that you did, and I’ll add it to this post.


I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
