Seven Ran­dom Facts About Me

1. Each of my ear­lobes is pierced four times. I was going to get a fifth pierc­ing, but the fourth hurt so badly, I chick­ened out. Why four on each side? Because …
2. … I was an accoun­tant prior to becom­ing an attor­ney. Hence, I require that things in my life bal­ance and hate any­thing asym­met­ri­cal. It would make me crazy to have just one pierc­ing on one ear­lobe and more than one on the other, a la Cam­ryn Mannheim.
3. I never went to a prom or other for­mal dance dur­ing my high school years because I was never invited! The guy on whom I had a major crush always asked some­one else. These days, kids go to those events in groups of friends — they don’t have to have a per se “date.” That’s healthier.
4. I am sup­pos­edly descended from Wild Bill Hickok. Some­one from my father’s side of the fam­ily pur­port­edly per­formed genealog­i­cal research, reached that con­clu­sion and noti­fied my sis­ter. When she told me, we looked at each other and shrugged our shoul­ders. Nei­ther of us par­tic­u­larly care, nor did our father.
5. My first wed­ding took place at the Sil­ver Bells Wed­ding Chapel in Las Vegas in 1981 which is why, when I mar­ried Big­Bob, bells in any shape, form or color were banned.
6. When I got divorced, I insisted that my attor­ney insert lan­guage in the mar­i­tal set­tle­ment agree­ment spec­i­fy­ing that I got cus­tody and pos­ses­sion of my cats, T.C. and Shivers.
7. When I pur­chased my 1996 Camry, I opted not to get the gold let­ter­ing because it cost $500 and that seemed extrav­a­gant. But every time I looked at the car, Big­Bob knew I was think­ing, “I wish I had got­ten the gold let­ters.” After about three days of that, he took the car back to the deal­er­ship and had the let­ter­ing done. When I bought my 2004 Camry, the first thing he told the sales­per­son was, “No mat­ter what she says, you make sure that car has gold let­ters! Trust me on this, buddy.” So now we have a code phrase for “Mama’s not going to be happy until she gets what she wants.” Big­Bob will just look at me and say, “Gold let­ters.” Then he points the car toward the store to pur­chase what­ever item is at issue.

I’m not going to tag any­one spe­cific. Rather, if you decide to play, leave a com­ment let­ting me know so that I can come visit your site and read “Seven Ran­dom Facts About You.”
