I've been blog tagged by Denise, and I will hereby continue the game. I'm trying not to think of it as a chain letter, because normally I wouldn't further it. But the reason this is not a chain letter (at least in my mind) is that it does not include one of those ominous threats at the end, like "5 bad things will happen to you in the next year if you fail to forward this to at least your 100 closest friends."
So, the way this works is that if you're tagged, you're supposed to list 5 things about yourself that you think most people will not know. Here are my 5 things:
1. I have a tattoo of a turtle on my left ankle, which is there to remind me to be patient.
2. I'm a dual citizen with Switzerland and the US being my homelands. I'm not very neutral or good at yodeling, though I can cook up a pretty tasty fondue and rarely turn down chocolate.
3. I thought seriously about leaving my law practice a few years ago and starting a wine & travel business. I'm very happy with my decision to keep practicing law.
4. Before my tattoo (see #1) was a turtle, it was a smaller tattoo of sorority letters. An unimaginative choice I regretted ever since I "deactivated" from the sorority.
5. Eating raw carrots almost always gives me the hiccups.
I've tagged 5 other people: 3 CIS-ers, and two of my other favorite bloggers. So let's see who among them will continue this blogging game... Elizabeth Townsend Gard, Dave Levine, Joe Gratz, Dinah Sanders, and Colin Rule
