I was tagged by Bunny and here are my 8 revealing facts for you all to read:
1) I often buy cookie dough squares and then never bake them because I've eaten them all right out of the frige. I especially love the Trader Joe's brand, but Nestle's will do in a pinch. It may take me all week to eat them, as I try to limit myself to 4 blocks at a time. This usually happens when I'm in PMS mode. I will tuck the remaining dough in a bag or container and hide them from mysself in the frige so they don't taunt me into eating them all in one shot! This is a guilty pleasure I endulge myself in about 6 times a year. Have you ever eaten raw cookie dough that wasn't enveloped in icecream?
2) I have a PEZ collection. My Mom started buying the candy dispensers for me when I was a kid and I've managed to collect approximately 100 over the years. One day I hope to display them at the Orange County Fair, just for kicks.
3) I love to read Biographies. I'm currently reading one about Queen Noor of Iran.
4) My husband & I often enjoy jigsaw puzzles. We currently don't have one in progress because we need to buy a new one. When we have one going, we work on it together on the dining room table.
5) If life gives you lemons, make Picatta sauce! I make a mean Picatta and use only the best ingredients: white wine, capers, asparagus tips, fresh lemon juice only please, and a touch of flour to thicken. It's great over shrimp, any seafood really, veal, pork, chicken, rice ~ the list goes on, and on.
6) I love to draw with crayons, colored pencils, paint, ketchup, markers, icing etc. You name it and I've probably drawn with it.
7) We have no children, but our home is filled with toys. Steve and I love board games like scrabble, chess & monopoly. We collect the kids meal toys from MacDonald's in sets from our favorite movies. We have a select few stuffed animals, and we have many pool and beach toys as well. We ride bikes, roller blade and love amusement parks, too! I guess you could say we are kids at heart.
8)If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd travel the world with my husband taking courses as we go. First on the list would be the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris. The Loire Valley for a Smithsonian historical cruise would be next, and then who knows where you'd find us. Some possibilities might include: Australia for a digerido lesson, Switzerland for a yodelling class, Italy for a fresco restoration tutorial, or the nearest philharmonic for violin finger calistenics. We'd also visit Chicago during their jazz festival, Sundance for their film festival, Colorado for white water rafting, and Tahoe for the ski season. New Zealand is on our list of "must see" places in the world as well ~ kiwi pie anyone?. We'd love to be able to say we've seen all of the U.S. national parks. We could spend a month in Bejing doing Tai Chi in the great park each morning then off to Hawaii to learn how to hang ten with our Niece & Nephews in the Pacific. And the great thing is, as we travel about the globe, we could keep in touch with all of our family and pals via blogland.
I hope you've had fun taking this personal tour of my psyche. I look forward to reading your comments and your 8. If I tagged you...

Hi SSS!
I don't have a blog and 8 revealing facts would make my brain hurt, but I'll try.
1. I've been friends with you for 31 years!
2. I got an email from Ed Long the other day out of the blue.
3. Nothing makes me happier than floating in my pool.
4. I found out recently that Denver kicks butt, but I think it was the company.
5. I desperately want to live at the beach, but I like East Coast beaches better than west.
6. I like to climb mountains. Check out Sugarloaf Mountain, which is near my house and was key in the civil war. Also, Yosemite was awesome, once again probably because of the company. And the Rockies, what can I say. They are breathtaking.
7. I am OCD, but I don't think that's a secret.
8. I miss Lisa.
