OH... I just thought of something, but I've already wrote my list....oh well, I collect skeleton keys and clocks. Both my mother and my mother-in-law have grandfather clocks and I want them someday. (you know when that day would be...I don't want to say it outloud) The Handyman just shakes his head and asks why I need two grandfather clocks. Um....because I like them? And there is just something so...so....so intriguing about "time" and how fast it goes and "where does time go" and all that. I have 11 clocks in my living room. They are all unique.
Now, on to my list!
Ten "other" things about myself.
1. I am addicted to chapstick
2. I have saved every letter ever sent to me. (just in case a piece of history is in there) I tie them in ribbons--because I am melodramatic and a romantic--just like they do in old movies, and keep them in a box in chronological order and alphabetical order by sender. (can you say nerd?)
3. I like sunlight on water---I think it's the most beautiful sight there is.
4. I love music and can spout off lines from any song you can name, but I cannot carry a tune, so will not sing in public. My poor grandchildren tho.... (sigh) I sing to them.
5. My mom's snickerdoodle cookies are my favorite EVER (and I cannot reproduce them here, because of the altitude)
6. I cannot think of any food I dislike ---seriously. Nothing. I had tofu once and it wasn't my favorite, but I would try it again.
7. I love dogs! If they are other people's dogs.
8. I have a friend whom I've been having coffee with every Tuesday morning at 6:00 in our jammies for the past 7 years.
9. I belong to 4 book clubs.
10. I am not a jewelry person. I once said to my husband, "you're lucky I'm not a jewelry person" and he replied, "no, YOU are the lucky one" (meaning he wasn't the jewelry giver kind of guy and it was good that I didn't care. Having said that, there were a couple anniversaries when he gave me diamond earrings or a necklace or something like that. Hmmmmm....I wonder where those are? )
Thank you Ms. enPlace!!
Now I need to think of 10 people to send it to.

Congratulations on your award! Do all of you clocks chime? I have a friend who has tons of clocks and when they all go off at once, it's crazy.
Congrats and great list! Wish I had kept all those letters!
How interesting! I have a stack of love letters that my folks wrote back & forth while they were stationed at different bases in 1943/44. I'm thinking of decoupaging a wooden box with some of them and then will put some of my mom's costume jewelry in it. My ex-hubby & his wife collect clocks, too. My Dad built a grandfather clock out of oak several years ago; it's beautiful. I don't like tofu, either and I'm addicted to Chapstick, too! Love Rich's comment about the jewelry. Once I said to my ex-hubby "Would you still love me if I forbade you from going fishing?" He said "Yes, I'd still love you... but I'd miss you." LOL!!
Great list! I didn't think you forgot...it's hard to come up with 10 things. At least it was for me. I am also addicted to chapstick and I love skeleton keys.
Congrats on the award! It looks lovely here! :D
Congrats on your award and thsanks for sharing about yoruself! I too love skeleton keys. I inherited quite a few from my grandmother and have them displayed in a shadow box along with some very old padlocks.
1 2 3 and 10 same for me :-)
I love this list. And, I too have a pretty fierce addiction to cherry Chapstick. In fact, I'll go ahead and admit to having a "graveyard" in my car ashtray...a stash of almost-empty tubes that I can squeeze a little more out of in an emergency. Was that TMI? :)
