The Sevens Meme

I've been tagged by Jennifer Thermes for the seven-facts-about-myself meme. (I love Jennifer' s blog, by the way.)

So here goes:

1. I am ridiculously organized and have an almost-fetish for containers, files, boxes, labels, baskets and anything that smacks of organization. (And I can put my hands on the receipt for heating oil from 1998.)
2. I can't go to sleep without reading something (but it usually ends up only being about a paragraph).
3. When I was pregnant, I craved General Foods International Coffee - Cafe Francais flavor only - and have had it nearly every day for the last twenty years. I take it everywhere I go. I even took it to Europe with me. (pathetic, huh?)
   
4. I've been known to go back and check the stove burners after I've already gotten in the car.
5. The only time I ever tried to write a picture book, I failed miserably and turned it into a novel.
6. I ADORE dogs. Love 'em, love 'em, love 'em.
7. I've always wished I could have been in a Broadway musical (but I can't sing worth a darn).

Now, I think most of my blog friends have been tagged for this already. But if you're reading this and HAVEN'T been tagged - then, tag - you're it!
