Sounds ominous, no? 
Joanne at An Unschooling Life tagged me with the “8 Things Meme” where I’m to share 8 things about me
So here goes:
The rules: Each player lists 8 facts or habits about themselves; the rules of the game are to be posted first; at the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and goes to their blogs to leave a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged.
1. I’ve read in the neighbourhood of hundreds of thousands of books. I can easily read 10 books (or way way more) a day if I had the time (and we’re talking “normal” sized books). I learned to read at 2, so I’ve been reading for 30 years. Even if I averaged it out and it was one book a day for 30 years it would be over 10,000 books, and I KNOW it’s more than that. I’ve taken out/bought and read in the last 12 months over 1,000 books, so it could easily be in the hundreds of thousands for sure.
2. I was homeschooled from Kindergarten to grade 6, went to public school for grades 6-8, private Christian school for grade 10, correspondance school-at-home for grade 11 and university as a mature student. I’ve experienced lots of different types of schooling. And I always wanted to homeschool the kids.
3. I have a huge passion for cooking and I love creating meals. I don’t follow recipes unless it’s my very first time making a dish, or the rare times I bake. All the other times I do “Instinct Cooking” where I follow my gut and end up with something phenomenal (usually). I don’t bake though. Mixes I’m okay with, but that’s it. I just don’t have the same flair for baking. I think it comes down to the whole “science” vs “creativity” thing LOL
4. I am a total dabbler. I lose interest in things really fast. I’m full of passion and drive and then I get bored and stop whatever it is I was enthused about. It’s taken a long time to embrace that part of me and accept it. I figure I’d rather dive headfirst into something and give it my all and when I realize it’s not for me, stop doing it without guilt, than continue doing something I’ve lost interest in just because I haven’t finished it.
5. I met my husband in his last year of high school. He was 17 (yes, I’m a cradle robber). We’ve been together ever since, 14 years last month. The weirdest thing of it all though, was that he was from New Brunswick, and my birth family was and we ended up only an hour away from my birth mom. Very cool, but very weird too.
6. I can speed read, extremely fast if I’m interested in what I’m reading, or just fast if it’s dull. I can read, WITH interruptions, a typical novel of several hundred pages in an hour or so. With a very high comprehension rate. I happened to sit in on a speed reading course my mother was taking when I was 5 or 6 and it just sunk in I was an extremely early reader though, so I think it might be related. It’s sort of freaky though, and it really sucked in school when we were supposed to read a chapter of whatever book a day, and in one class I’d finished the book and then had to reread the damn thing over and over and over.
7. I can do a couple of weird “body” things. I can keep one eyebrow perfectly still (either one actually) and wiggle the other one around/up and down. I can cross one eye and move the other one (either eye) which really wigs the kids out. I can bend my thumb back behind my knuckles, though I don’t do that much anymore.
8. I’ve visited most US States, Mexico and most Canadian provinces, all before I was 14 years old. I’ve traveled by car cross country, both the US and Canada several times (6 I think?). I’ve lived in 4 Canadian provinces and 4 US States. But I’ve never been off the continent of North America. One day I’m sure!
And, of course, not ALL are for me
