I had a really hard time coming up with seven unique things about me (as I have done this a couple of other times over the years and I tend to be lazy and repeat things). Here are some maybe you don't know about me!!! I don't know how interesting they are though, LOL!!!
1. I've had romantic encounters at some point in my 20's with men born outside the US: Jordan, Mexico, United Kingdom; Germany; France; Canada; and Israel (I was once a very fickle girl!)
2. When I was almost 15, I ran away to NYC (hitchhiked) to be a writer. (I was also a stupid girl!) My parents flew me home, but made me spend one night in a runaway shelter to teach me a "lesson".
3. I love anything pumpkin. I also love anything vanilla. I like most things chocolate.
4. My g-g-grandmother came right off an Indian Res when she married her husband.
5. I am related to Rob Roy (McGregor), the Scottish Robin hood, on my father's mother's side (my ancestor came to America in 1650's to escape prosecution against McGregors by an English king. He changed his name to one that means 'Sons of the Mist' which was the name the McGregors in the Scottish highlands used to rename themselves when their clan name was made illegal. OK, this is interesting to me at least, LOL!!)
6. (I've used this one before, but it's one my favorites!) I once saw a ghost.
7. I used to have a job removing venomous snakes from people's yards (in AZ). I also used to help rehabilitate bats! I've always been attracted to the "creepy" creatures (see number one...just kidding!!! ;)
I love so many other blogs (and all of them are so much more interesting than I am!!), so I nominate anyone off my sidebar list. All of those blogs are interesting and the authors wonderful!!

great little known facts! i may take up the award offer if i get a chance in the next day or two...your selections gave me ideas for my own. :)
Rehabilitate bats?????????
Good lord. I can't imagine WHY.
But, that's gotta be a whole nudder post!!
:D
Congratulations on the award, Gina! :)
you are an amazing person, Gina! :-) I'm pretty adventurous, but was squicked out by the venomous snake thingy.....did you have that job long? :::shudders:::
Tansy: I hope you do! It's hard coming up with 7 things off the top of my head, but i love reading other people's (and then think, 'O, I could have used that one too!!"
Sue: they were endangered desert species. I tried in IN too but it was harder as not a whole lot of people were lining up to help out!! ;)
AutumnRose: Thanks!! I was surprised and honored (thanks again, Sue!)
I had the job for years, but the venomous part was when I was in AZ. The venomous ones were actually easy to handle (docile and calm), it was the harmless coach snakes I dreaded (they would literally chase you!)
I actually have a long story about being bitten by a snake in the face, but I'll save it for another 7 things!! :)
