six things....though I could go on for more!

I was tagged for this recently by whom....I cannot remember! Oops...note to self: make note on draft before I save it!

1. I like my coffee semi-warm, definitely not hot-but not cool either. As you can see I like it with as much creamer as coffee. Pumpkin Spice is my latest favorite flavor.

2. I never skipped school when I was in high school. My mom worked (and still works) at the high school I went to....I was too scared to even try it!

3. I will Freecycle things at the drop of a hat. When deciding if I want to offer it, I decide if it would be worth the amount of gas it might take to drive over here. If it doesn't rate, it goes into a box in the garage. I drop that box off at Goodwill on Thursdays when I go run errands with Livi.

4. I have a scar on my ankle shaped like the Nike swoosh. I cut it on a soda bottle when I was in junior high. Besides surgery, they are the only stitches I have ever had.

5. I have used an outdoor potty at the Arctic Circle. I had to trek through thigh high snow to get to it. This was in April even!
PS....this is up by the sign. The outdoor potty is to the right in this picture. The snow had blown huge snowbanks in front of it. Yes, this is a picture of a picture...way too lazy to get it out of the frame and scan it.

6. Husband and I drove from Oklahoma to Fairbanks, Alaska along the Alaska Canada Highway in November 98. It took us almost 10 days. It was almost 3800 miles. We had Josie and a cat, named Chance.

If you need some worthless blog fodder, consider yourself tagged. Just list 6 wacky things.

Happy Thursday!
