Michael Chapman tagged me. So here goes.
6 Non-Important things/habits/quirks about myself:
One—I’m really good at getting rid of stuff, but I can’t bring myself to part with boxes and other storage containers. I never know when I might need one that size.
Two—My mother misspelled my name on my birth certificate. I’m sure she was overwhelmed by my beauty.
Three—I’m a grammar fanatic. Whenever I learn a new rule, hearing or reading the rule broken drives me crazy. Did you know that a disease is diagnosed, not a person. So “she was diagnosed with cancer” is incorrect. Now it can drive you crazy too. Or you can just not care. Choose the latter!
Four—I gave up recreational eating and drinking (dessert, snacks, sweets, pop, gum) for an entire year—twice. It really wasn’t hard except for one thing. I literally longed for hot chocolate. On Weight Watchers I don’t get enough points to splurge on anything, but every day I enjoy the luxury of a mug of hot chocolate.
Five—I love online banking. All the time I save paying bills, I now use reading blogs.
Six—I’m lazy. I’d explain, but I don’t feel like it.
How did she spell your name?
Also, how would you, then, appropriately use the term “diagnose”? Maybe…. “They diagnosed cancer in her case.” Hmmmm.
Great, Sherry! You’ve ruined me! All I needed was another grammar rule to obsess over!
