Five things you don't know about me

I've been meme tagged! Watch this space as I think about what those things might be.

It's hard to come up with ideas that I haven't already blogged about. Not necessarily here, but here. I've been writing about my life since August 2001. There's really not much left to disclose, but I'm going to try...

1. I am addicted to Super Collapse. As in, I must play every day or I get cranky kind of way. This is a relatively new thing for me. I was never one for the arcade games and I've never played a Playstation or Ninetendo or Gamecube. I know nothing about Wii or Xbox. But even my animals know the sounds of Super Collapse. They hear that first whistle blow and wander off to find something else to play with.
2. I love pickles. Dill pickles. They have been a lifelong addiction. For as long as I can remember. Right now I have three open jars in my fridge. The craving has actually tapered off these last few years, it used to be any every day snack.
3. I have a small mouth. I had to have six teeth pulled for my braces. There are 32 teeth in the adult dentition. I have 24. 
4. My very first concert was John Davidson at the Rodeo. Oh how I loved him. He had a TV show at the time. I cried so much after he finished, we had to leave.
5. I have skin allergies, just like my dog. It's why I empathize with her so much. I cannot use just any soap for bathing or laundry. I cannot use scented lotions. Bubble bath is a definite no-no. When I was a child, before we figured out what was causing it, I used to scratch myself until I broke the skin and caused sores. Even today, when I travel, I often wear long pants when I sleep because the detergent on the sheets drives me nuts.
