No, I haven't been abducted by aliens. I have been really busy lately and haven't had much time for knitting. Instead of showing some random piece of knitting on needles, I have decided to jump onto the "100 things about me" bandwagon. I'm not going to number the list, so here are some random facts about your's truly. Enjoy.
- I started knitting in May 2003. I was really nervous and my gauge was too tight. I switched to crochet.
- When I got bored with crochet, I went back to knitting.
- My mom is a knitter. She started knitting in 1965. At the time, my parents lived in New Mexico at a hospital on a Navajo reservation. One of the nurses taught her.
- My mom is left-handed but knits right-handed because the nurse didn't know how to knit left-handed.
- I have a vague memory of my mom teaching me how to knit when I was maybe 10. I remember using big wooden needles and red yarn.
- I was very crafty when I was younger. I loved origami. My mom used this to her advantage and made me do all her gift wrapping.
- My mom let me decorate the entire house for Christmas when I was 17 and 18. I made a lot of the ornaments/decorations based on jewel tones and suns, moons and stars. It was fabulous!
- I am a graphic designer. I work at Xavier University.
- The design program I was in alternated quarters of school and paid internships. I interned in Cincinnati, Columbus, San Francisco, Boston and London.
- I lived in an area of London called Shepherd's Bush. I had 7 roommates- 3 Americans, 3 Canadians and 1 Aussie.
- I have been to every London Underground station in zones 1 and 2.
- I buy so many clothes when I am in Europe that on any given day I have at least one article of clothing on that I bought there. THANK YOU H&M (we don't have them in the Mid-west.)
- My favorite thing to eat in Paris is a chèvre chaud salad (hot goat cheese.) YUM!
- I love tea and hot chocolate (mmm, Mexican hot chocolate.) I hate coffee. Although, I don't mind coffee flavored candy and ice cream.
- I weigh 45 pounds more now than when I was 18.
I opine that to get the loans from creditors you should present a good reason. However, once I have got a secured loan, because I wanted to buy a house.

Hi Drew! Checking in to see how you're doing. I love reading these 100 things lists; they give me insights on what others like. (Mexican chocolate is THE BEST.)
Congrats to the winner of the Man-Along. I was so disappointed that I couldn't get photos to you on time. My computer went kaput for nearly a week last month by the time I got back online I was too late :-(

Is visiting every tube stop a good thing or a bad thing? Having lived here for 7 years, I am not sure I have ever been to Temple. Maybe that's my task for the weekend :) A.x

Shouldn't there be more the the list? I actually weigh the same as I did when I was 18 and that's probably not a good thing. Same sized pants, even. Thankfully I ditched those nasty 1980s fashions.
