By at least two people, I think actually its three.  I'm supposed to name seven odd things about myself so here goes.

1.  My neighbors and friends call me 'Betty Crocker'

I love to bake and make things from scratch.  I do, of course, share the fruits of my labor with my friends and neighbors, hence the nickname.  My goal is to make sure that no one around me is skinny, he he!

2.  I live in Japan and hate sushi!

Yuck-do I have to say more?

3.  I have, while living in the states, ordered pizza and Bison chip dip from home (Buffalo) to be overnighted to where I live.  If only I could get the Buffalo wings overnighted!!!!

4.  I am a huge Northern Exposure fan. 

 I love the show!!  I've collected two seasons on dvd and love watching them.  Boy, it sure sounds like all I do is watch tv!!!  I actually don't watch much at all.  Maybe an hour or so a night.  I watch more on the weekends when its cold or rainy and I'm trying to get a project done!

5.  I love to hand quilt. 

There's nothing more relaxing than sitting there quilting.  I love to do it, wish I had more time.  I even take my quilts outside to work on while the kids are playing.  I just sit in my chair, relax and enjoy!!

6.  I have experienced blizzards, typhoons, hurricanes, and earthquakes.  I have not done tornadoes-don't know that I want to.

7.  I love books!!  

That's not exactly weird, since we homeschool.  I do love to read myself and to my kids.  I have stacks in the 'to be read' pile.

I think that's it for my list.  I'm sure I'll think of something else later on.
