A memeing we will go...

1. I'm from South Carolina. You can tell that from the tattoo of the state flag on the inside of my left ankle. The spider web and spider on my other ankle tell you my name.

2. I have a 2 year old son, whom I adore, and I still can't quite believe I'm a mom. (For Halloween, I'm going as a MILF)

3. I read at an astounding rate. No, really. I read so fast that as a kid, my teachers would quiz me on the plot and characters of a book, because they thought I was lying about having read it. Which is why I'm tetchy about people knowing about or commenting on my reading.

4. My legendary love of makeup is dying from neglect. I'm down to a couple of small containers, which are dusty with disuse. I almost never wear any anymore. Although if I get a real job, I'll have to start again.

5. I have hyperthyroidism or possibly Grave's disease. It causes some unpleasant side effects which are more or less handled with medication.

6. I love food--particularly, anything with goat cheese. I hate flan/creme caramel, creme brulee, etc. What an awful texture. I also don't like anything with nuts and am allergic to pine nuts, so no pesto. Most evertyhing else is fair game.

7. Speaking of allergies, I'm allergic to about half of everything. Animals, fragrances, fruits...etc, etc.

8. I have a mom and two sister, and my father died in 1988. Most people know I have one sister but the other one and I don't get along that well. I don't talk about my father that much either but that's because 20 yrs later, it's still too hard.

9. I've been to Mexico and Canada, as well as Great Britain and Europe. Not as often as I'd like though.

10. Monday was my 3rd wedding anniversary. My partner and I have had a long and complicated relationship but have been very happy for the last five years.

#3-- we are so totally the same person. except for the tattoos. (mine is not on my ankle.)

i used to get told to read it again, and i'd shrug and say okay, and read it again, and *still* finish before the rest of the class had read it once.

"am allergic to pine nuts, so no pesto"

Substitute chick peas and a little more olive oil. Works like a charm, and I got the idea from Debbie the Dogged when I was musing about a Pestopalozza dinner party with an attendee who was allergic to all tree nuts.

#5 - I had hyperthyroidism and Graves disease about 12 years ago. Got it under control by medication and then no problem for about 8 years. Then I went the hypo route,and I'm still there on meds.

Hope that medication works for you too.
