First Random Thing: I would totally do Jack Tripper. There’s a great ad for Three’s Company reruns on Deja Vu. I’m a sucker for physical comedy. I think that’s why I always liked Chandler Bing so much, too.

Second Random Thing: When I was Little Ame, I used to rub the satin edging on a little pink blanket while I sucked my thumb. I would rub the satin right off the fabric, so it would no longer be slippery, just threadbare.

Third Random Thing: Remember the guy on the old school Sesame Street shows who would sneak along and paint a random number on a window? I called him “The Scaredy Man” and I would hide behind the couch whenever he came on. Wikipedia calls him The Number Painter. Also, look! Stockard Channing. LOVE HER. I hear this music and I’m three years old. Nostalgia overload.

Fourth Random Thing: In my home office I have a crazy salt crystal lamp that is supposed to counter the effect of evil death rays from the computer. It’s pretty.

Fifth Random Thing: It’s 9:13 p.m. right now and Graham has been sleeping since about 5:45. He gets up around 4:00 a.m. usually, and today he had a hard time getting up which means he’s extra tired. Although I’ve spent the evening alone on the couch, sometimes I don’t mind this because it means he’ll be rested and a happy, rested husband makes for a happy, rested me. Also, I get to watch whatever I want (48 Hours Mysteries!) and spend a whole damn evening online if I want. Popcorn? Hell yes.

Sixth Random Thing: When I worked on the Disney Wonder cruise ship I had to do traffic control for the boat drill on the first day of each cruise, telling parents they shouldn’t bring their cocktails to the boat drill, and that they might like to put some shoes on their kids. Don’t I look hot wearing this electric orange, giant pillow-of-a-life jacket?

Now that you know some random stuff about me. I’m interested in hearing six random things from:

• Kolleen at Not Your Regular Minivan Mom,
• Ainsley at Ainselife,
• Melissa at Inquisitrix,
• Sam at Temporarily Me,
• Ali at Cheaper than Therapy, and
• Kyla at The Journey (because if we’re going to spoon in San Francisco, I feel I need to know a few of your dirty little secrets!)
