Six Unremarkable Things About Me

I've been tagged in a blog chain mail! So it's now my sworn responsibility to reveal six utterly unremarkable things about myself. The only challenge is limiting it to six!

1. My favorite color is purple. One of my happiest decorating decisions ever was to paint my bedroom purple. Trust me; it's beautiful. No, really.

2. I name my cars. After a series of Kermits (see #3), I now proudly drive Ted the Tahoe.

3. I collect frogs. No, not real ones (although I did once have a pet toad...). The collection bug bit me when I got my first car: a 1979 Toyota Corolla Liftback in an almost-fluorescent shade of green and named him Kermit. The rest is history.

4. All my dogs have names that start with "M". This is currently not too obnoxious as I only have two dogs: Mallory and MacGuyver. But there was a time when I had Mallory, MacGuyver, Molli, Mugzi and (briefly) Meghan. There's also been a Murphy (the best dog ever, who started it all), a Madison, and a Monte. Good thing I don't have human children, huh?

5. My grandfather and I have the same birthday.

6. I have one limb that hasn't been broken in a riding accident. My left leg is all original equipment, unlike my right leg and both arms.

Yay! All done. Now I'm off to spread the joy to six other bloggers.

Oh, and I was tagged by: tcandthemuse so go check out her list.

My friend Dorlana challenged me to write a six-word memoir. For what it's worth, here it is:

Achievement, then breakdown – recovery. Finally, happiness.
