Maggie over at Mounted Archery tagged me again with that 6 Random Things meme. Don't you guys already know everything there is to know about me??
Six random things about me that yawl don't know yet.
1) I do an awesome Valley Girl imitation.
2) I used to work for Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus.
3) My mom entered me in a local beauty contest when I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I actually had to wear a dress. It scarred me for life.
4) I was the class spelling bee champ in 8th grade.
5) My maternal grandfather's family comes from Bari, Italy.
6) I've had 11 concussions, only four caused by horse-related incidents.
Wow, that was really tough. I was even trying to get Glenn's help on coming up with six random things about me that I haven't already told everyone. And here I thought that I was a chatterbox that couldn't shut up and everyone already knew everything there was to know about me.
I guess now you do!
I'm not going to tag anyone, but feel free. This meme has been floating around forever and a day, so I'm sure just about everyone has done it already. Oh, except maybe Moon Ponies! Tag Moon Ponies, you're it! :)

Playing Tag
And I'm it. This is the first tag kind of thing I've done, so bear with me here. First of all, I had to cheat. Just a little. The idea is to grab the nearest book, flip to page 56, go down to the fifth sentence and post the next few sentences. I believe the idea is to share a little bit about yourself, which is why I had to cheat. These are the books I can currently see from where I'm sitting:
Gun Digest 2002
Driver #8
The Earnhardt collection
Dale Earnhardt: Rearview Mirror
American Hunting Rifle
... and the list goes on. Obviously, these aren't mine and just listing them should give you insight into Glenn. I hope you feel enlightened now.
If I hop up and hang a right into the kitchen I find my "china" cabinet which is filled with recipe and herb books. Since no one probably wants to have only part of a recipe, I reached for the first herbal I came to: Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs. On flipping to page 56 I have to chuckle. This is a picture of Jewel that I took today at lunch, her forelock tangled up with burrs.
On page 56 of Rodale's, I find this:
Burdock, Arctium Lappa
Two species came to the New World where they quickly escaped to become hardy, widely dispersed weeds. A fast-growing biennial with large, wavy, egg-shaped leaves, burdock has been distinguished throughout by the burrs it sets after flowering, but it is burdock's long thick taproot that has made it a boon to herbalists and an implacable enemy to other gardeners. Yanking a misplaced mint out of the garden in one thing, but burdock roots just don't yank.
Perfect timing.
