Bronwyn Green tagged me. Rules are posted above. I’m tellin’ ya’ll that I’m dull as dirt, but here goes.
* * *
I can write with both hands simultaneously, left one going backwards, right going forwards. I think we discovered I was ambidextrous during or after a piano lesson when one hand mirrored the other’s actions.
* * *
Broke a toe while running naked through my house when I was in my twenties.
* * *
Actually like doing laundry. There’s something relaxing about it, and I like knowing my family has the clean clothes. Also, I think in the back of my mind that I don’t trust anyone else to do it – lol.
* * *
Either I am the most gullible person on the planet, or I’m a psychic magnet. Psychics seem to *find* me. In hotel lobbies, in restaurants, just passing me on the street, and they tell me the most interesting things at times.
* * *
I love cooking, but I was never allowed in the kitchen as a kid. Everything I learned was picked up long after I married…the first time…’nuff said.
* * *
I once slid down a very long hill in a cardboard box and ran over a nest of hornets, which chased me…and chased me. I had just moved, I was 29. and I had just been hired to teach at the university. The dramatic-looking hill was in front of my building. Academics aren’t always the brightest crayons in the box, despite those degrees and sharpened pencils.

That is a fun meme - at least you made it fun! Laughed about the psychics - ouch about the hornets.
I would have slid down that hill with you though!!

I KNEW if anyone would've been there with me, it'd be you - ROFLMAO!!!

Great to see you again!

I'm pretty dull, too. So I'll have to see what I can come up with.

OK, I did it, but you'll have to come and read what I wrote.

and, I think it's petty cool that you can write like that. I have a friend that is ambidexterous - but that's because they forced her to write with her right hand when she was a child.

See? I knew you weren't boring like you'd claimed. I'm fascinated by the writing thing - that's wild!

LOL!!! excellent six, Lyn. And it doesn't surprise me at all about the psychic thing. You have a vibe.

*waves to Denise, Bronwyn, & Kelly*

The ambi thing is cool to an extent. My problems arise when what's before me is something new, because it takes my brain a while to engage, especially NOW, after the head injury - lol. But...

again, it IS cool at times.

OK, that is so not fair. I don't think I KNOW six people who blog. I'll keep it going though. I think Carla maybe.

Did I tell you we have a "certified" psychic at MARA?
(she wasn't there this month)

No doubt Katie will love you.

'k I posted yesterday.

Just read yours, Kate, and it was VERY INTERESTING!

 
At 2:03 PM, Blogger Bobbie (Sunny) Cole said...

...and noooo, Miss Gretchen, I don't think you told me that!!!!!!
