LivingAlmostLarge - trying to live large  ...one step at a time

I’ve been tagged by Mom @ Wide Open Wallet.  Normally I don’t do this, and I likely won’t tag anyone.  But I will answer the 7 weird or random things about myself.

1.  I have a tatoo of my name, and I got it at 18.  My mom is still mad about it and mentions it all the time.  It’s in an area of the body that is typically unseen.

2.  I used to have an eyebrow and tongue ring and still have 3 earrings on each ear.

3.  DH and I meet when we moved in together and I still haven’t kicked him out over 8 years later.

4.  I have never bounced a check, hit a credit card limit, paid a late fee, or interest on a credit.  Though I have had roommate bounce checks to ME!

5.  My family calls me the mobile nomad.  During college and after, I moved like crazy living in apartments for as short as 4 week.  I moved 17 times in less than 4 years.  It makes for not accumalating stuff.

6.  My favorite hobby is going to a bookstore and sitting there all day reading.  I buy nothing but just read.  I have done this since childhood, except it was the library.  Since I was tiny I had a weekly library trip with my mom. 

7.  My mom’s favorite hobby with me is watching movies at the theater.  I remember $1 movie night with a popcorn and soda.  We were broke but she always scraped a $1 together.  So every time I see my mom we go to a movie.

 8.  For kicks, my family are all dog fanatics.  At one point my grandparents had 17 dogs.  They bred german shepard and had a bunch of strays people would beat up and dump on their door step.  Guess this is why I married guy just as dog crazy as I am.

    Oh I love to just to the bookstore and read and not buy anything. It’s a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

    Thanks for participating!
