I am far too slow to catch anyone in order to tag them! If you want to share, by all means take the questions and run with them.

I think you should definitely keep the 'exotic dancer' in there...it'll keep your friends & family who thought they knew you guessing.:)
Exotic dancer turned writer? I could see that happening! =)
I love your list! And I'm afraid I have the same bad eating habits -- when it comes to chocolate, anyhow. ;)
However, I'd go to Ireland. But I like the idea of taking care of your family first. That's the way it should be. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Btw, I REALLY love your pictures... Gerry and a castle? What a dreamy story I could spin with that set-up. ;)
LOL - funny.:) This is a great list.
Very funny. Nice to read more about you. Thank you for your kind comments on my blog.
We all have bad habits, chocolate being number one on my list as well. And as for the exotic dancer, I think it fits nicely in what I feel from you (real or not!).
So, any word on the Agent front? Will you be sending out more? I have to ask since I think you should pursue it further and not stop at just one. You can do it if you try.
Keep up the good work!

You should have totally kept "exotic dancer" in there without qualifications, to intrigue everyone. No one said it had to be a paid job or one you did often.
Then, once the buzz is significant enough, write your semi-fictional life story including such tidbits, and watch the money roll in.
I did strip-o-grams in college after I got off of active duty. It lasted a week. I had a female friend in job placement that got me the job. Day 5 had me show up to her apartment where every girl I knew from college was there......and I had to do the strip-o-gram. I realized there were some people I did not want to do that for.
As for winning the lottery and having millions....Buy a lot of land and build a luxury housing addition for me and all my closest friends and family. Go to Europe (why limit yourself to Scotland?). Pay of a lot of friends and family debt. Establish a Simpson family scholarship.
Pretty ironic that you are a smoker, given your past as a respiratory therapist. I enjoyed reading these.
