Catholic Family Vignettes

Patrick Archbold of one of my very favorite "daily reads", Creative Minority Report, has tagged me. Eek! 8 facts or habits? Good or bad? Hmmm...how much honesty is required here? Will this necessitate confession?!

Here are the rules (since one of the rules is to post the rules):

"The rules are simple…Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog."

FACT: I want to fly. An ultralight or microlight plane.

HABIT: I talk with my hands. No...I'm not deaf, but I would probably be mute, if by some freak accident, I lost both hands. I've actually been known to let go of the steering wheel while engaged in conversation. I had to stop knitting last night, because a friend asked me a question. I simply could not answer effectively without wildly gesticulating!

FACT: I am a research fanatic. Ask me something I don't know or don't know enough about, or simply rouse my curiosity...I'll be on the internet researching every last vestige of available information and will then bore you to tears (I'm with you on this one, Patrick!)

HABIT: I'm a notorious "ice cruncher" - just give me a cup of ice and I'm good to go!

FACT: I'm a convert to Catholicism for over 16 years, but have only been attending the Traditional Mass for the past 2 1/2. I'm hooked. Forever.

FACT: I'm obsessed with books. They are taking over my house. I need bookshelves. Help!!!

HABIT: I'm just a wee bit too sarcastic. I really need to control it better.

FACT: I haven't watched television (commercial/cable programming) for four years. I watch an occasional movie and currently enjoy the Bless Me Father series, which I've borrowed from a good friend (thanks Tom!)

So...now tag 8 people...

Amy Caroline, Barbara, Esther, +JMJ+, Matilda, and anyone else so inclined to join in...btw, ladies, no obligation!
