I was tagged for this meme when I was under the weather but wanted to complete it(knowing most people have been tagged). If you were not and are reading this....guess what?

1. I am a freak about proper table manners(or manners in general). It drives me up a wall when people have disgraceful manners.
2. I slept with a Care Bear(Cheer Bear to be exact) up until the time I was married. Wow. That's embarrassing.
3. When I was in elementary school, I came outside from morning Mass to find a cross burning outside the church. That haunts me to this very day.
4. I had a bright blue Geo Metro when I got out of grad school. I finally moved on to a Ford Windstar when babies started coming.
5. I love garlic(on foods) and good wine. It's a weakness.
6. I went to graduate school at North Carolina School of the Arts for costume design. Our school mascot was a pickle.
7. I met my husband in an online chat room in 1995.
8. I despise cats. Yes, I know God created them. I am allergic to them and you never know what they are up to. They have an agenda and I don't trust them.
