Well, the rest of our vacation pictures were left in Page, Arizona. So while I wait for them to arrive here in Texas, I figured I would dutifully reply to being tagged.

7 random facts about ME:

1. My maiden name is Ming. I am one-eighth Chinese. Really...it's TRUE. Come to my house and I will show you pictures of my great grandfather, Luke Woo York Ming.

2. I eat a BANANA almost everyday. Do I love bananas? Not especially. But they are really good for you.

3. I don't hate food. I actually love to eat most foods; however, oysters are a huge exception. I pretty much hate OYSTERS. I have vowed to try anything and so I tried one. I couldn't even get the slimy, dead-cold, critter down my throat. I spit it out back into it's shell. Bad experience.

4. I have a collection of Lip Smackers. I have close to 100. Some of my favorites are Kiwi, Root Beer Float, Orange Sherbet... How do you choose favorites? Different ones for different occasions.

5. I watch the Food Network A LOT. I feel like Paula Deen, Giada de Laurentiis, and Robin Miller are my best friends. Now, if I could just get an invite to the Barefoot Contessa's beautiful, quaint New England home. Better yet, how about a date with Bobby Flay...

6. Last April I went on a trip to COSTA RICA with my Latin Lover. Okay, so Brett isn't exactly Latin, but he does speak Spanish.

7. I can't think of anything else. I think I've already revealed too much about myself. Oh wait! How about this. I love the color PURPLE. Actually I'm a little obsessed with purple.

Thank you, Laura, for the challenge. Your *tag* has been met.
