6 Things about me…
Wednesday November 05 2008
A while back Patty tagged me on this and I never responded, so here it goes!
- I love strategy games! When I was in high school, my friends and I joined the chess team. We had a great “friendly competitive” atmosphere which pushed us to study and get better together. By my junior year, the team won 7th in the USA… finals, and my senior year they won 3rd. This probably comes from my father, who raised us playing card games and board games, from monopoly to cribbage. I still love a good card game, or a long game of risk on a winter’s night.
- I am the youngest of 4 children. I have THREE… older sisters, who used to do unspeakable things to me. We are now all happily married, and 3 of us have now moved back to the Pacific Northwest which has made our parents very happy (but we still have to call and ask permission in order to stop by the old house!)
- My passions in life other than oboe include hockey, hockey and hockey! Living in Michigan for 4 years, you can’t help but catch the hockey bug. I didn’t discover it until around my junior year of college, and have loved it ever since. When I was at Michigan State, we were #1 in the country while Michigan was #2. Ryan Miller (of the Buffalo Sabres) was our starting goalie and won the Hobey Baker award. I’m a die-hard Red Wings fan.
- Three greatest “oboe excerpts” composers = Barber, Brahms, and Ravel
- I get on these weird snack streaks. I discover something and start eating it like a chipmunk for months until I get sick of it. Past snack streaks include Chinese Ginger candy, David Sunflower Seeds, and Yogurt Covered Raisons.
- As I child I used to have asthma problems chronically. I’d get plugged up to this nebulizer (which now have nice designs, but in my day it was an ugly brown box) twice a day and sit there for five minutes inhaling this misting medicine. Once I hit 6th grade and began playing oboe, it cleared up all Asthma symptoms I ever had, and the last time I went to my Asthma/Allergist, I was told I have 200% average lung capacity.
That’s me!

LOL! Food streaks are great. I’m currently hopelessly addicted to Fat free plain Greek yogurt, the really thick kind. My wife thinks it’s gross.

Well, being from Buffalo I have to say “Go sabres” I saw Ryan Miller at a few games. They are not doing too well lately though.

Well ... FINALLY he decides to play. I guess since it wasn’t a strategy game you just took your time, eh?
Sorry. I’m just trying to act like an older sister. A MUCH older sister.
