Day Two: Seven (more) things about me

meme.jpgAmy had her first ever gentleman caller today. The grandson of some of our neighbors has just knocked on the door and asked if she would like to come out and play. I greeted him with a loaded shotgun obviously. Unfortunately for him Amy and Evan are at nursery today. I’ve taken the day off in order to fit baby gates, tidy the house, and play my Star Wars Lego game on the playstation.

But all this is beside the point. It is the official International Week of the Meme and I can let nothing distract my focus. Veronique from Little Elephants tagged me with the 7 things about me MeMe.

  1. My left arm has once been on long running British TV quiz show Countdown
  2. Kerry and I got married in the tropical house of Central Park Zoo, New York. We were the first people to ever do so.
  3. On my medical for my nurse training I was told I would not be allowed to enroll unless I stopped biting my nails. I did, but only for six months. I now live in constant fear that the Nursing and Midwifery Regulatory Council will start performing random nail checks.
  4. Everyone in my family works or has worked in order to improve the world in some small way:
    Me: Psychiatric Nurse
    Kerry: Works for Environment Agency
    Mum: Social Worker (retired)
    Dad: Teacher (retired)
    Brother: Environmental consultant
    Sister: Counselor in Drug and Alcohol services
    This makes me very proud.
  5. I can juggle.
  6. I have a pair of crocs, but don’t dare wear them out in public.
  7. I have a vague idea that one day I’d like to write a book, however I am under no illusions that I will ever get round to it

And that’s it. This was my second attempt at this meme, the first one being here. I’m now running a little low on ideas so if anyone tags me with it again you might find yourself reading about my shoe size and favorite flavor ice cream (rum and raisin).

I tag Deb from Toast Ambassador, Kristina from Americanmum, and Donna from Coffee with a Straw?.

    You just gave your favorite ice cream away – are you not going to hold anything in reserve?

    I imagine your big clumsy elephant feet are about a size 18? Wasnt that what held you back from those premier league trials?

    I too have a pair of crocs that I bought for holiday and I’ve now pretty much lived in them for 2 1/2 weeks. Comfiest shoes ever.

  3. Jeff says:

    #6 – Until I looked it up I didn’t know that you were talking about shoes. When you don’t know what “crocs” are, that statement is really very funny.

  4. Dudelet and supermum both have red crocs. I am not thinking of getting a pair, however.

    (un)relaxed dad – Yes crocs are first a child’s shoe, then a woman’s shoe, and barely a mans shoe.

    But god damn they are comfy.
