Wow. It's meme mania. I've been tagged by J. E. Robison so here goes. Eight things about me:
1. I love flowers and trees. If it were possible to sweep John E. Robison’s landscape into my purse and dump it on my front lawn, I would, even though I’m going on his description and my imagination alone having never been inside or outside his home.
2. I have planted trees; two to be exact, a lovely japanese maple and a white dogwood.
3. I worked for a time at Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in the research department where my fellow labmates and I would have pipette tip tossing contests. I never won.
4. I did learn how to micro-inject a mouse egg with DNA using fantastically sensitive and expensive equipment.
5. I can count up to ten in french, spanish, german and english. Proud times.
6. I can walk on my hands for three seconds. Fluffy timed me.
7. I have worked as a secretary, factory worker, receptionist, music teacher, dance instructor, sheep’s milk cheese and yogurt maker, movement teacher, waitress, house cleaner, newspaper delivery person, cashier, lab tech, clothing clerk, house sitter, writer, and fabricator and have nothing to show for anyone of it.
8. Unlike Drama Mama, I’ve never eaten anything out of anyone’s ass. I feel kind of bad about that.
Well, I think the gods want me to tag a few people, so here I go:
OMG I am so far behind on my bloggy peeps what with all the medical junk we've had going on...I NEVER get tagged for Memes, and then it happens and I miss it...story of my life, LOL! I'll do it tomorrow :)

Oh my gosh. I've been a little behind on my blog reading, as you can see. I need to think a bit. Eight things? Do I have to be as funny as you are? No, impossible. Okay, eight not-funny things coming tomorrow. I'm so glad you aren't eating things out of asses.

You can eat something out of mine, darling.

I don't know about #7, Kyra--you have nothing to show for any of it? I find that VERY hard to believe. :-)

You know, eating something out of someone's ass isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Don't feel bad.

Good grief! Glad you're not hiding those talents under a bushel any more.
Cheers

You are killing me. I've been several of the same things - dance teacher, babysitter and technical writer, among them. While I was never a lab tech, enough of my closest friends (and one of my sisters) were that I could pretty much walk you through the care and killing of rats. But none of them were working with mouse DNA, we're more frog people (the projects involved were at MD Anderson cancer center). I'm a recovering gardening addict, and have the address of a good 12-step program if you need it. Weird, huh?
The only thing I've ever eaten out of something's but is a chicken egg.
I enjoy the blog!
