I've been tagged!

The other day, Frugal Dreamer tagged me to reveal seven interesting things about myself. Interesting is relative, but I'll try my best.  :)

1. I'm very accident-prone, and it's legendary among my friends and family. I've been hit by a car, had a table saw nearly crush me, been stabbed in the throat with a pencil--the list goes on.

2. I think baseball is the best sport EVAH. I played as a kid and am always up for watching a game.

3. I taught myself to read when I was 4, before I went to school. And I've never stopped! I listened very carefully to my mom when she read bedtime stories to me, and then I figured out how to sound out the words in the books.

4. I'm an HGTV addict and have been since the channel first premiered. When I was a teenager, my favorite show was Decorating Cents.  :P

5. I love to rescue animals. I have a cat (who actually lives with my parents) that I rescued after his leg was cut off. And, man, he's now the toughest cat I know!

6. I love thrift stores. Oh, wait--did you know that already?

7. I grew up watching classic films and reading classic novels, and that pretty much shaped my interests from a young age. I've gotten J into classic movies, and he loves them now. I never get sick of watching Breakfast at Tiffany's or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

I'm no good at tagging, so I'll just ask: Anyone have any interesting facts you'd like to share about yourself?  :)

OK, WHOA! Stabbed in the throat with a pencil! Yikes!

But rescuing a 3-legged cat! Precious. :)

FD, my brother was a hoodlum. He managed to mangle me up repeatedly as a kid. :P
