meme…7 weird things you don’t know about me
magikquilter February 27th, 2008
I have been tagged by Kate for this meme…..thanks I think!
The rules are:
1.Link back to the person who tagged you.
2.Post “The Rules” on your blog.
3.Post 7 weird or random facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag seven people and link to them.
5.Comment on their blogs to let them know they have been “tagged”.
As Kate said it is strange that there are not seven rules…but I so enjoyed writing the rules out as just love Kate’s music on her home page.

[1] I saw Led Zeppelin in concert in Sydney in the seventies, still cannot believe my parents let me come to the city on the train, it took two hours, then I stayed with my friend Linda at her Grandma’s house in Randwick. Three great things happened, my parents who were very strict trusted me to go to away, I had such a wonderful time with a grandma [my family migrated here in the early 60s] and I finally got to see and hear Jimmy Page play the guitar….heaven.
[2]My vocational guidance test in high school said that I should be a computer programmer. This was 1971 and we did not even have a computer at the hospital where I went nursing 18 months later.
[3]Since 2000 I have had a sleep disorder that has caused my sleep pattern to change from going to bed at 10pm for most of my adult life to anything from 3am to 7am. Even if I do not sleep at all one night I will still not get to sleep until 3 to 5 am the next day! But hey I took up quilting because of it and look at me now!
[4] I hate cooking, it is the bane of my existence.
[5]Almost two years ago the doctors and consultants at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney told me at 10pm, after admitting me with a monstrous headache to casualty at 5pm, that I had better say goodbye to my husband and son as they “did not know if I would be alive the next morning”. I did not as it just did not feel like I was dying. Apparently they were all stunned that I spent the whole night consoling the nurses and the doctors who messed up repeated lumbar punctures…and I mean repeated… Well they did not know that I have insomnia so it was my daytime ha ha.
[6]I am very messy and I just do not care! During the above incident all I could think about was how messy my storage area and sewing area was and promised myself I would fix it, ready for when it was my time to go, for my guys. Well it is almost two years now and I am only half way there. But it is still an improvement on before!
[7]Apparently I have the skeleton of an 80 year old. And I don’t look a day over 58.

Okay that took longer than I thought, all that linking, its exhausting! I am sewing madly at the moment, or should be. Have sandwiched my Japanese cranes and dragonflies together with some fabulous used to be curtains in Laura Ashley fabric and some lovely low loft poly batting…cannot wait to get hand stitching…it is 1.13 am here so better get cracking only got a few hours sewing ahead of me.
I have also got a few ideas for some of the old embroidered linens I rescued recently so have to get going on those. When they are ready they will be available to buy from my website or etsy store…when I get one that is. Also thought I would sell some of my retro and quilting fabrics online too. Photos of all of the linen are on flickr, they came up fairly well. Have a few quilts to make for friends and a few orders also. Maybe it is my new sewing table but I have felt more inspired….it could also be that it has been a bit cooler here lately.

You wrote about some very interesting things…you SAW Led Zeppelin what an excited young lady you were that day! What was the monstrous headache about? What was it? I can’t imagine a day like that. Well its good to have something like quilting to work on or think about when you have trouble sleeping…sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in a day….
I sure was excited and did not even give in to the temptation to become a groupie..hehehe..was still at the saving myself for marriage stage then…but I do remember having conversations with my friends…what would you do if Robert Plant singled you out etc…nothing, its Jimmy Page or nothing!!!
Think the headache was high blood pressure, although they did say the next one could be my last.Said to get to hospital ASAP next time..they were thinking it was a SAH ..Subarachnoid Haemhorrage..can’t spell it.
Sent me home after 3 days in critical care with a letter saying they had messed up the LP’s…can’t watch “House” when they do LP’s!!!!
Yep I get a lot done into the wee small hours…but then I can’t do as much in the daylight hours so it is a tradeoff…but I love the silence.
Enjoyed reading your responses! I’ve been avoiding this meme, but since you are the second person to tag me for it I guess I’d better play along now
*wriggles eyebrows* So, is this son single? :p
Oh! How yo wound me with your #4! Cooking!? the BANE of your existence?! Say it isn’t so!
BSW sorry wasn’t thinking, know how you love all that stirring and jiggling and tasting! I used to love it when newly marred…almost 25 years ago…and bought every cookbook in sight…maybe it is because no matter what I cook my husband still has HP sauce on it and has a bowl of cereal two hours later.
In reality I would rather be sewing or blogging or reading…by the time dinner comes around I am barely into my day and not really ready to ‘do’ dinner.
And yes he is single and he seemed to think all this talk of him is funny so I was right about the sense of humour and wrong about him killing me!
