I got tagged by Alice Yucht, so I’ve been trying to think about what to write for the last few days. Even harder, trying to think of people to tag because I’m not really sure how many people read this blog yet.
So, anyway, first things first. Here are the seven things you don’t know about me.
1.) I’m the oldest of 4 siblings. I have two sisters and a brother. So far I have a niece and a nephew, so having a ball being Uncle Carl.
2.) Most people know that I have a collection of ties. But, I don’t think most know that all 260+ ties are organized by color. I found some plastic containers with very thin drawers, so there are three of them stacked in my closet to organize them all.
3. ) I’m a huge fan of mysteries. I enjoy reading Harlan Coben, Robert Crais, and many, many others.
4.) Up until about 4 months ago, I had worked at the same job I started when I was in high school. I started work at the Speedway Public Library in June 1993 and just a few months ago decided that I needed to free up some time for other things. It was a great pleace to work for all those years and was my first taste of the world of libraries.
5.) Another collection I have is frogs. When I was younger my parents would read a little toddler book about colors and objects and when they got to the green frog, they would tickle me. So, every since I can remember I’ve been collecting various frogs and they now are all out for display in one of the bathrooms of my house.
6.) I have a very progressive student teacher supervisor and after we completed a project she encouraged me to write it up for an article. So, I my first article published in School Library Media Activities Monthly before I even had my first job.
7.) I’ve been working on collecting information for my family tree for probably 15 years or more. I’ve not had as much time to work on it the last few years, but my Mom and I both try from time to time to work on filling in some of the holes of our family genealogy.
Ok, I came up with seven. I have a hard time thinking about lists like this.
Now, the harder part…thinking of people to tag. So, let’s try Sara, Peggy, and Linda.
