Mr. Bunch tagged me with a blog chain & soon, you may be tagged too!

The Meme Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/stories about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

I wish that I could come up with 8 really cool, totally unique, interesting facts/stories that would "wow" you all, but alas, I'm not that witty or quirky! Here it goes anyhow...
1. My feet are so big that I can't hardly find any shoes in England that fit me! What's the deal here??? Are all the women midget-footed or something? This is sort of embarrassing to admit, but I actually had to order shoes from the states and am having my mom bring them to me when she comes to visit! The true confession: I wear women's size 11... and sometimes a 12!
2.I love being a teacher because I get to read aloud to my students!! I LOVE to read aloud... and I like giving the characters different voices. My two favorite voices are the southern drawl ya'll and the brilliant British accent. Of course, the British one was a lot more fun when I was teaching in the states... I think the southern drawl will be a fun one here!
3. I like citrus marinated green and black olives. (Especially the ones fresh from the Greenwich market on Saturdays)
4. I don't have a car. I ride the dlr, tube, national rail, or the bus... and I like it because I get to read while I travel!
5. I just joined my first book club. We're reading The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and it is a long-distance book club because the other two members live in Washington!
6. I've been to the top of the Eiffel Tower, but I've never been up the Space Needle... go figure.
7. Been married 7 years and 52 days... and still don't have kids!
8. I take that last one back... we have a dog and he might as well be my child. Though who leaves their "child" with another family member for 2 years while they galavant around Europe? Me. That's who. Samson, my 3-year old Basset Hound, is living in Portland with his foster family (thanks you guys for caring for him!!!). I can't wait to have him back!

I am tagging Jenny, Jen, Becca, Emily, & Marla. So I am breaking the rules... only tagging 5 people! That could be my 9th fact... I sometimes break the rules! Contrary to popular belief, I'm not always the goody-two-shoes you think I am! Hee, hee!
