this much I know (but only barely)

Sheri wants to know eight things about me. But I’m a rule breaker and a rebel (what???) so instead I am going to tell you eight things that I know for sure, which will probably tell you more about me than if I just told you eight things about me.

Ready?

1. I do NOT have strep throat.

2. The scale at the Urgent Care place at Penn and Memorial is TOTALLY wrong, and not in a good way.

3. Better tequila makes a better margarita.

4. It’s AHM-PEER, not EM-PYRE.

5. The following people read this web site, at least occasionally: my dad, my brother, my dissertation director, a guy I dated in college.

6. At least one of those people reads this blog while commuting to work. And by “commuting” I mean “simultaneously driving and looking at his Sidekick.”

7. My children were born at 11:17 am and 12:05 pm.

8. There is one more chocolate chip cookie down stairs.

Okay then! Better than a personality test, yes? Yes.

   I don’t know. If I were you I’d check on those cookies.

   I feel like I know you so much better now.

   If I said it “AHM-PEER” down here, I’d be labeled a snooty know-it-all. Good to know, though.

   i’m pretty sure #8 is short lived, but maybe that’s just over here at my place.

   thanks for playing!

   I’d rather have chocolate chip cookies than strep throat any day. Good pick.

   Yes– but what word is really AHM-PEER? Empire?

   I beg to differ.

   AHM-PEER? Please translate. And pleeease don’t tell me you mean “empire”!

8. June 27th, 2007 at 12:58 pm, Susan Says:

   Yes, AHM-PEER is the snooty pronunciation of “empire,” which is the proper description of a waistband that hits just below your boobs.

   Go ahead, mock me. I asked for it.

   Also–it’s a CHEZZ LONG, not a “chase lounge.”

   You love me even more now, don’t you?

    Yes! But it is also “ahm-ij” and not “oh-majh.”

    But what of en-dive/on-deev?
