Ten Random Things and a Reader Contest

1) I am addicted to sugar, and just fine with that, thanks.

2) Cookie Monster, Oscar, and Grover are my favorite Sesame Street characters. When I was little, Mom would buy me these Sesame Street picture books at the grocery store, they were a series, and each one was like a print version of an episode, with counting pages, stories, and focus on a letter and number. I still have them.

3) I hate to vaccuum.

4) My first car was a 1982 Berlinetta Camaro with brown metallic paint...I was supposed to get a station wagon but Dad wanted it to drive to work...

5) I am the 1992 Champaign County Rabbit Queen...yes I have a tiara.

6) I am the 1997 Champaign County 4-H Girl of the year, yes I have a silver pitcher and yes I polish it once a year.

7) I am roughly 100,000 words into my first book for teens. It's almost done...theoretically.

8) I am afraid of toads and frogs. Yep.

9) If I was going to be a boy, my parent's were going to name me Andrew. My first high school boyfriend's name was Andy, and I am married to an Andrew.

10) Lately, my cat Tweeker has been sleeping with me, on my pillow every night. Boy can that little booger generate heat!

11) Bonus: The first person who can name what food group I can no longer eat in the comments section gets a *new* lip balm.

Love your list Julie. Funny, I only know the book writing thing before. Now that I know about your tiara, I;m wondering if you would wear it to bop :)

I know that you don't eat much of anything except nuts, pop tarts and peanut butter crackers. I can't remember exactly, but I thought you had to avoid all dairy.

Your blog title sounds like the name of an Italian restaurant.

"Man, I'm starvin'."
"Oh yeah? Well let's go to Scoradtos!"

I loved your post thanks for sharing it with us. I do not know anyone who liked to vacuum except my mother. If I'd been a boy my name may have been Darryl. don't ask! (LOL)

Jules,
I can't believe I knew everything on your list except for the name you would have been given had you been a boy. Imagine, Andrew! Very interesting. Oh, yeah and after a long battle you discovered that dairy products were not your friend. Glad to hear the book is moving along.

Fun read! I too still have all the grocery store Sesame Street books. Can't wait to share them with my little one (who is becoming a fan!).
