7 unusual things you probably don’t know about me

Sandra De Freitas AND Greg Halpen tagged me in a blog post. They each listed seven unusual things about themselves, and then challenged seven other bloggers to do the same. Thank you, I think!

7 unusual things you probably don’t know about me

1. I have a new boyfriend and he’s a Captain in the Canadian Air Force Reserves.
2. I plan my meals for the whole week ahead of time.
3. My maternal grandmother was 1 of 7 children, so I have a multitude of cousins and second cousins.
4. I have lived in the same apartment for 11 years.
5. I had plastic surgery on my finger at age 9, after I closed a car door on it.
6. I love to watch gritty crime drama shows on television.
7. I still do not own a DVD player or an .MP3 player, and I only use my mobile phone to talk. [Update Feb 22/09 – I got an iPod Touch!! Great for showing my “family” photos]

And now it’s my turn. I’ve chosen 7 people whose blogs you might enjoy, and who I would like to hear 7 unusual things about (instructions for bloggers are below):

[Update December 15, 2012 – I’ve updated these website links to people’s current sites]

2. Alyssa Gregory
3. Karri Flatla
4. Terri Zwierzynski
