Dear blogger friend Debbi from She Accessorizes Well tagged me with the “Tell Me About Yourself” Award, and asked me to pass it on. I learned that Debbi and I are the *exact* same Personality Type, based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (we’re both INTJ’s). So no wonder we bonded immediately.
So, my turn to spill some blogger beans:
- I am a rabid sports fan. Can’t tear myself away from baseball, football, basketball — I love them all. Sports bar = paradise on a Saturday afternoon.
- I was a French major in college. Yes, French. I still do love the language and the literature, but never earned a penny from it. Eh bien, c’est ca.
- I have a bit of OCD with regard to housekeeping. OK, a lot of OCD. Cleaning is an anxiety-reducer for me.
- Team City or Team Country = City All The Way!! I’ve lived just outside Boston and Washington DC, and commuted to work in those great cities. Cities make me feel ageless.
- I’m married to my dream man, but if he should be sucked off the face of the earth by a comet, I would possibly marry Bruce Springsteen (with a dash of Bishop Desmond Tutu thrown in for grace).
- A couple of my favorite movies, TV shows and books: L.A. Story, The Princess Bride, Dexter, Six Feet Under, anything by James Lee Burke, the Spencer novels, The Daily Show, Isaac Asimov’s and Robert Heinlein’s novels (especially Stranger in a Strange Land, one of my all-time favorites).
- I still feel awkward talking about myself, and would rather ask questions.

Hi Patti, I had given you this award too! Yay, I loved reading your answers. Hope your NYC trip planning is going well. I love to clean too. In fact, I think I am going to clean the kitchen right now…
Thanks so much for tagging me! I really appreciate your kind words. Good to get to know you better 🙂
LOL Bruce Springsteen and Desmond Tutu! I never thought of that combination! Great getting to know more about you! Hugs to you! ~Serene
Sigh, OK, we can share Bruce. He transcends.
You are such a good writer with the addition of wit and wisdom. Thanks for the 'self reveal.'
I am definitely OCD about housekeeping, but less so than I used to be.
Hey I'm glad to know that people still use Myers-Briggs. I'm an INFJ and I've only ever met one other one. Used to work in a department with lots of you INTJ's though!
Love your list of fun facts about yourself. I so enjoy learning all the little interesting things about people.
Can you bring some of your housecleaning OCD over here please? I could use it.
Patti, I enjoyed learning more about you, but one thing…can we share Bruce? And thanks for your kind comments about my mom. I'm visiting with her today and she's a little better each day. Debbie http://thriftygirlvintage.com
