7 Things about Me the Versatile Blogger Award Made Me Share

I was nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Gerry Wilson (The Writerly Life).  Thank you Gerry!

Here are the Rules for the Versatile Blogger Award:

• Thank the person who gave you this award. Include a link to their blog.
• Nominate 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award
• Tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.  Aw, coconuts!

There is always a catch, isn't there?  Sharing is totally not caring- it's daring and scaring and soul-baring!  I really prefer to stay hidden.  In fact, I usually pick hiding spots harder than my children's seeking ability just to catch a little "me time."  I also layer excessively during strip poker, but that's another story entirely.  So against my better judgment:

Seven Things about Lauri Meyers Even Though She Doesn't Like to Share

1.  I have been known to do a lively demonstration of the proper way to show a guinea pig reliving my reign as Cavy Showmanship Grand Champion. 
2. I went all the way to Anguilla to see Jimmy Buffett in concert.
3. I like SciFi B movies.  I actually watched all four Tremors in a row once (well maybe it happened a few times). 
4.  I have owned 5 houses in 5 different states in 10 years, including one in Scranton where I worked at a Paper Plant (not Dunder-Mifflin.)   
5. I enjoy making things, and I have to have the right tool for the job (power nailer, air compressor, compound miter saw, meat cleaver...)  
6. I make my poor children listen to NPR during our jaunts around town, though 4YO reminds me "This is not a kids show, Mom."  
7. After I had my first child, I was a little verklempt talking to my Mom because I suddenly understood how much she loved me.
