Starry Night art car

I've registered for both the Fremont Art Car Blow-out Solstice Weekend and for SeaScare in Brier on August 12th.

Here's a pix of me and my friend Nancy working on the hood last week.

Six Random Facts about me

All right - so my friend Anita tagged me for this "six random facts" meme and I'm afraid it's taken me a few days of head scratching to figure out how to participate ... here goes ...

Here are the rules of the game:
1) Link to the person who tagged you.
2) Post the rules on your blog
3) Write six random things about yourself
4) Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5) Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6) Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Six random things about me:

• I'm currently a grad student in the Library & Information Science program at the University of Washington.
• I was born and raised in Fairmont, Minnesota - population in 1979 (when I graduated from highschool) was 11,751.
• My favorite book is Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin.
• I transformed my '94 Honda Civic into an Art Car last summer.
• My immediate family consists of husband Jack and brother and sister cats named Buddy and Abby.
• I have 5 older brothers; no sisters.
