Last week, the hugely talented April Martinez tagged us to reveal six random, unique things about us. Pepper took her turn on Sunday, so today, it's mine.
1. I can rattle off all 50 states in alphabetical order in less than 30 seconds. As politically incorrect as they are now, I grew up watching the beauty pageants on tv every year - Miss USA, Miss Universe, and Miss America. My sisters and I used to play pageant with our paper dolls - and yes, we had more than 50 at one point in order to have a real pageant - and I can assure you that repeated state roll calls will ingrain them on your memory.
2. I wrote my first romance novel at the age of 12. I was obsessed with Billy the Kid (ha! that bad boy thing started young!), and wrote a 300-page western about a young woman who put Annie Oakley to shame.
3. I saw John Malkovich on Broadway in "Burn This." One of the most electric and amazing performances I have ever seen.
4. I think the sound of saxophones is the sexiest thing on the planet. Even just one long prolonged note makes me weak in the knees.
5. I was an extra on Nickelodeon's The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo. Twice.
6. I function best throughout the day if I have Diet Mountain Dew for breakfast. When I travel, I always take some with me.
There are rules to this, but honestly, I don't know 6 bloggers well enough to bug them about this, lol. So if you want to do the 6 unique things about you, go for it!

Six Unique Things About Me
1. I have a twin sister and am the mom of twin boys
2. I took violin lessons for 4 years and pretty much suck.
3. I can juggle, only three things at a time, but still...
4. I took piano lessons for 12 years and pretty much suck at that too, see a pattern here, lol
5. I never once got thru a music recital without messing up.
6. Took sky diving lessons for my 21st birthday.
I lived in fear of giving birth to twins. Though I'm not one, they run both in my family and in my husband's. I was terrified of being overwhelmed with two babies at the same time, lol.
I almost learned how to skydive once. There was a guy in college who wanted to teach me, but I chickened out in spite of the fact that he really seemed to like me. Kudos to you for doing it!
Vivien :)
Oh that was fun to read!
Six Unique Things About Me
1. I fell asleep at my first date going to a movie. He married me anyways. :)
2. I'm deaf and my 3 other sisters are hard of hearing and 2 brothers have perfect hearing.
3. I never learned to ride a bike.
4. I hate/refuse wearing dresses! I had to all the way til age 18.
5. I crocheted an afghan a weekend when I was a teen and gave them to elderly.
6. I can't think of another one right now, this was hard, LOL
1. Dr. Pepper is the only carbonated beverage I'll drink. Love it! Mother tells me she put it in a baby bottle to keep me quiet when I was little and wouldn't keep still for the barber.
2. I'm claustrophobic.
3. I loved my third grade teacher because she let us write stories.
4. I started my first novel before I was thirty, then it went into my drawer for over twenty years. Finished it. Sold it.
5. I've run six marathons and over a hundred foot races of varying distances. Now I'm lucky to walk three miles.
6. I'm going to be a grandmother for the first time! Our youngest son's wife is pregnant with fraternal twins. A boy and a girl.
7. I've toured Great Britain. Used some of what I learned and saw in a medieval novel published by Amber Quill Press.
