Mister Teacher didn&#8217;t take <a href=\"http:\/\/learnmegood2.blogspot.com\/\">it very seriously<\/a>, but I am not creative enough to lie.<\/p>\n<p>1. When I was 14 I got a subclavian blood clot  I had to spend a week in the hospital on a Heparin drip and then take Coumadin for 3 months. Fun right?  Not so much.  But at least I got to introduce myself to my new neighbor like this, &#8220;You might not remember me, but you were my doctor when I had a blood clot at 14.&#8221;  &#8220;Of course I remember you Lady S.&#8221; It&#8217;s a great conversation starter.<\/p>\n<p>2. Except for when I went to college, I have always lived in the same town.  In fact, until we bought our house, I lived in 3 places within less than a mile of each other.  I still on live a nile from my parents.<\/p>\n<p>3.  My third favorite holiday (after my birthday and Christmas) is the Fourth of July.  I was going to blog about it this year, but this week has been nuts.<\/p>\n<p>4.  I have worked on 2 world premiere musicals and have another coming up in the spring.<\/p>\n<p>5. I work across the street from a Nuclear Power plant and I don&#8217;t mind it at all.<\/p>\n<p>6. I was the second runner up in a (very) local pageant.  I did a cobbled together monologue from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Antigone_%28Anouilh_play%29\">Antigone.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>7. I got into my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheatoncollege.edu\/\">first choice college<\/a>, but they wouldn&#8217;t give me enough money to afford it.  I went to my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sbc.edu\/\">second choice<\/a> and was very happy there.  The only thing I would change about it is its location.  If I had it to do over, I would probably apply <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtholyoke.edu\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>8.  When I was a little kid (3, I think) I counted like this: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-9-10-11 and wondered why I had 11 fingers and my mom said she had 10.<\/p>\n<p>Most people I read have already done this meme, so I am tagging everyone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mister Teacher at Learn Me Good tagged me for a meme.
