Europe (Belgium, Germany, Sweden) has been my home for 18 years of my life and I suspect I&#8217;m here to stay.

I don&#8217;t mind doing memes (usually in your own comments!), especially listy ones but I rarely tag anyone, and I despise blog quizzes.<\/p>\n<p>6. I&#8217;ve been journaling online since 2003 and have designed the book formats for each year and had them bound and printed in paperback.<\/p>\n<p>7. Time travel and reincarnation really appeal to me, in theory.<\/p>\n<p>8. I miss my mom a lot and wish we lived in the same country, at least.<\/p>\n<p>9. Puns are a weakness of mine. This will not surprise some of you.<\/p>\n<p>10. Sometimes I think I should have done something with that college Art degree I almost got&#8230;and then I realize that I DID, which makes me smile.<\/p>\n<p>11. I swear like a sailor, even in front of my children.<\/p>\n<p>12. My impatience drives my husband crazy sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>13. The first music concert I ever went to was Foreigner. The second was Rush. The last was Peps Persson. None of these really reflect my true musical tastes.<\/p>\n<p>14. I love love love my job.<\/p>\n<p>15. It both dismays and amuses me when I can&#8217;t think of words in English nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>16. There are 2 fairly major skeletons in my closet, that only a couple of people know about. One can&#8217;t reveal everything, right? \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>17. Last year, I read 139.5 books.<\/p>\n<p>18. Singing in a choir is one of my weekly activities; I&#8217;m a contralto.<\/p>\n<p>19. When I make lists like this, I make a conscious effort not to start every sentence with &#8220;I&#8221;, often going back and editing to avoid it.<\/p>\n<p>20. Common things I do extremely rarely: watch TV, sew, swim, use the oven, drink milk<\/p>\n<p>21. As a rule, I don&#8217;t drink alcohol and I&#8217;ve never been drunk in my life.<\/p>\n<p>22. One of the things I like best about my current lifestyle is the fact that I never have to wear either pantyhose or high heels anymore.<\/p>\n<p>23. The first thing I do when I get home from work each day is walk through the house and pick things up and put things away that are out of place. I make the kids do it, too.<\/p>\n<p>24. I truly can&#8217;t fathom why anyone would smoke cigarettes or use chewing tobacco. Ick.<\/p>\n<p>25. It is my firm belief that religious and political opinions are nobody&#8217;s business but their own and that people should keep them to themselves. If people actually did so, the world would be a much better and more peaceful place. Since they don&#8217;t, however, I&#8217;m all for rational discussion and open-mindedness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Might as well not waste this only on Facebook! \ud83d\ude00 1.
