I’ve been tagged! I know, I know, it’s a cheap excuse for a post - but I love cheap. I’m all about cheap. Thank you Catherine Morris for tagging me and giving me this lovely cheap excuse to blog!

So Catherine’s ‘tag’ requires writing 6 random things about myself.  Hmm.  I’m just going to do this as fast as I can.

1. I’ve never punched someone in the face, and I’d like to. It’s on my list of “to-do’s” before I die. (I’ve slapped, but never punched. The slap I’m ashamed of. I don’t think I’d be ashamed of a punch.)
2. I crouch like a goblin in my expensive Aeron chair, making the good-for-my-back thing entirely moot.
3. My first instinct is to take things literally. I’ve tried to break myself of the habit but my brain don’t bend that way. Damn it.
4. I love the smell of hot concrete after a rain. As a child, I would lick it.
5. I read “Katherine” by Anya Seton when I was in the fourth grade, and fell in love. I read the book so often growing up that the greatest threat my parents could levy against me was to take Katherine away. When I was confirmed in the Catholic church I took Katherine as my confirmation name. I had to do a lot of interesting-but-beside-the-point research on some saint called Catherine in order to achieve this.
6. I prefer going barefoot to wearing shoes. Period.

Okay, now I’m supposed to tag people — Tagerific! Here are Les Rules:

• Link to the person who tagged you — me!
• Post the rules on your blog
• Write six random things about yourself
• Tag six random bloggers by linking to their blogs
• Leave comments on their sites to let them know they’ve been tagged
• Let your tagger know when your entry is up

And I’ll tag……. drumroll please! Ha.
