Last week darlin' Melissa tagged me with a 7 Random Things meme.  I can never pass up a good opportunity to talk about myself (note sarcasm), so here my answers are.  If you'd like to play along... consider yourself tagged!

1. I was born in a coffee shack on the Big Island of Hawaii.  My mom's best friend was giving birth at the exact same time in another room (of the same coffee shack)!
2. I play the piano by ear (decently.  My sister does so phenomenally).  I can't read music to save my life.
3. I am really picky about food.  It's annoying, but I can't help it.  Things on my bad list include: meat, creme brulee, asparagus, mushrooms, eggs, most cheeses, anything bbq flavored, anything with red food dye (I'm allergic), etc.
4. I'm extremely light sensitive.  I think it's because of having Lyme Disease... even just a tiny flash of light reflecting off the back of a car or other metallic surface can give me an instant migraine that will last for hours.  Fireworks, flashlights, etc. are not my friend.
5. I love to do the dishes, but can't stand to put them away.  Ditto for laundry... love the washing, despise the folding and putting away.  I think it may be a trend.  I do seem to enjoy starting a new project more than completing it.  Hmmm?
6. 11:11... Every day twice a day I made a wish for something at this
   time.  I've been doing it for years and my family has taken to thinking
   of me at 11:11 because of my habit.
7. I cry all the time.  : )  Not just for sad things... but for beautiful things too.  Like for a soaring note of a gorgeous song, or the sight of a small bird flitting on the breeze.  This quote from American Beauty pretty much sums it up: "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."
