Okay so that bit about knowing movie quotes payed off. At work they have a monthly competitive challenge. This month it was playing the X-Box game Scene-It. I didn’t sign up but yesterday they had a no show and I was in the break room at the time so I said I would play. Well I one the game! They had 3 others lined up and the winners from all four competed today at lunch. And I won! Woo! The sad part is that my face goes on the trophy for the month in the break room and they won’t let me use a picture of Gracie instead. Haha.
Oh and tomorrow Garrigan and I are gonna go get Holga cameras. Yay!

Well, Flissy tagged me ages upon ages ago so I best get the randomness flowing.
The Rules:
Once tagged, you must link to the person who tagged you. Then post the rules before your list, and list 8 random things about yourself. At the end of the post, you must tag and link to 8 other people, visit their sites, and leave a comment letting them know they’ve been tagged.
Hokay…so here we go:
- I can, or could at one point, make a soft taco in 6 seconds flat. To avoid working in fast food as a teenager I worked at a movie theater. Then guess what they did, they put a Taco Bell in it and I was one of the lucky kids who got to prep the food for it. Dubbed the Taco Belle I made fast soft tacos and ginormous burritos for hungry yet poor ushers.
- I am scared to drive. No really, I am. I didn’t get a license until I was 27 then a week later I smooshed the corner of the truck we had at the time into a gas pump. I now drive a scooter but due to peer pressure (or would that be peer mockery) am trying to talk myself into getting a SmartCar.
- I am left handed. Yes folks, I am in my right mind *ba-dum chhh*.
- I take forever when shopping as I constantly debate my purchases. Should I really buy X? Do I need anohter Y? Should I really be spending money on A, B, C, and more D?
- I have my groceries delivered most of the time. See above at the scared to drive thing.
- I memorize movie quotes and am one of those people who will randomly break out with a saying from a movie. Gosh!
- I keep random scraps of things thinking I will someday need them. Ooo don’t toss those little strips of paper…I’ll just put them in my pile of random paper bits…um in case all the paper in the world vanishes and I need to use little scraps.
- My sister told me that once when I was little I was looking at the Wall Street Journal when she and my dad came home from work. I pointed at a chart about aluminum sales or something and said ‘aluminum is doing very well’.

Okay I need to sit a spell and update about my awesome trip to Atlanta! But first, just wanted to let the sewing peeps know that I finally finished up putting my Zipper Pocket tutorial in the tutorial section here (just look up at the top at the tab called ‘Tutorial’…how is that for user-friendly).
