Six Random Things





Linda Grant at The Thoughtful Dresser has tagged me for a meme, Six Random Things. In no particular order:


1. I'm a fifth-generation Californian. My dad's ancestors were Scottish and Welsh miners who came during the gold rush of 1849-50.


2. When I was 18, I broke my pinky finger on my left hand by smacking into a concrete wall during a charity fundraiser roller skating marathon. I didn't realize it was broken, skated for another 6 hours afterward and never had it set, and now it's permanently crooked.


3. I don't like sweet drinks, the solitary exception being root beer.


4. I'm terrible with remembering names of people I've just met. But if they tell me their birthday, I can remember that hours later.


5. I have no known allergies.


6. My first car was a '67 Mustang.

Tagging: Duchesse, Belle de Ville, Meg, Ashe Michief, Nancy, and Miss Janey.

a '67 Mustang, wow! That's a pretty serious first car. Mine was a '67 Sunbeam Imp, quite a different creature, for sure.

Love these kind of memes. It is nice to learn more about you. :-)
My first car was a 69 Nova and it's name was Micky--as in "Oh, Micky you're so fine you blow my mind." Think that song is by Tony Basil.

Miss Janey said...

Miss J realizes the blue shoes at top are just illustrations, but seriously- perfect workplace shoe.

A 67 mustang! do you wish you still had it now?
miss janey, I was admiring the red shoes at the bottom of the pick for myself.

materfamilias - this was in 1973, so it wasn't such a big deal at the time.

AIS - you're my next stop.

LBR - Micky, eh? Mine was named "La Bamba!" My BF at the time really wanted me to put Baby Moon hubcaps on it. Perfect for cruising El Camino.

Miss Janey - don't we wish we could find those somewhere?

cybill - yes, I'd really love to have that car now, or even better, my mom's '57 T-bird!!!

Ashe Mischief said...

I must echo the consensus and say Yum! A '67 Mustang. That's around the era of my dream car now.

And while you all covet the shoes, I'm seriously coveting the last two skirts! They're delicious and oh so femme.

Thank you for the tag! I am looking forward to doing it.

Thanks for the tag. I've had a busy week away from the blog, but I've finally posted my six random things.
