8 Things About Me
- Like Bonnie, but unlike Mike, I like salted licorice – love it actually. It may have been my first solid food. (I’m Dutch)
- In fact, I’m not a sweets or chocolate person, and will go for savory every time. I also love cottage cheese with salt and pepper added. Or with fruit. Or with lettuce on a sandwich. (The Dutch also put everything on sandwiches)
- Two years ago, I lost 40 pounds and it’s all back on. My doctor says I’m lucky I didn’t go over my original weight because that usually happens with fad diets. Perhaps I should give up the savories and the sandwiches. In all fairness, I should mention I didn't stick to the 'maintenance program.' If you follow a diet, take my advice, stick to the maintenance program.
- I have no children, just three furry babies – 2 cats and 1 doggie.
- I was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe for years and years. I have a large collection of coffee table books and a few original magazines with her on the cover. (Looking for a buyer for this collection, btw)
- I have a hot tub on my rooftop deck.
- I started several novels while in elementary school and managed several hundred pages (in total – I haven't finished a manuscript yet *sigh*).
- I once produced a song (that I wrote and sang called ‘Inundation’) with Brent Bodrug (I paid him) – who has worked with artists such as Oscar Peterson and Alanis Morissette. But, don’t let that fool you into thinking it was any good… I wince when I hear it now (because unfortunately some family members got a hold of some cassette tapes).

I wonder if the salted licorice thing is a Canada thing.
You must get a copy of that song posted on the internet so we can all enjoy it. After all, you paid to make the song...it shouldn't just sit around unheard.

Anyway, that's cool! A hot tub on your roof deck, that must be neat to look up and see the stars at night. I have a friend who's obsessed with Elvis, and she buys up anything with is face on it, ha ha.
Cool about the song :)
We too have furry babies. No university tuition to pay *g*.
Mike - bite your tongue! I shudder to think of sharing it.
Jason - LOVE the stars. And movie stars, obviously.
Tess - Especially since if I have kids now, their tuition would conflict with my retirement. Not gonna happen.
now we know all your secrets..
LM - you're giving me shivers. But know that the REAL 'secrets' were not divulged. Mwahahahahahah
nienke, I left you a comment on my blog because I couldn't make this work--my bad. (Hope this does). I am so glad you stopped by!
I might need to start the new meme called "Let us listen to any songs you paid to make meme."
Mike - don't forget there's a 'delete blog' option in blogger dashboard...
As for the song, think Madonna meets the chipmunks.
(it was the 80s)
I've always been an Alvin fan. ;) I'll have to pass on the cottage cheese though.
Hugs to the furry ones.
I never thought of eating salted licorice. The last time that I ate that sort of thing was when I had some jujubes at the Movies and it pulled out a filling. Bummer.
As you get older, you can eat fewer and fewer things.
But Tai, they don't sell it at the movies! At least not where I live...
