i was tagged by

here are the "rules": Once tagged by this entry, write a blog entry of some kind with six true random facts about yourself. In the end of it, pick six of your friends and tag them! (No tag backs.) This explanation must be included, of course.
1 i love love love coffee. i drink it regular and decaf. i just love the flavor... it's not all about the caffeine.
after visiting germany and amsterdam the last week and a half i've decided i like european coffee the BEST!!! it's much less bitter than many of the coffees i normally drink here.
2 my husband was born in germany. he lived there for the first three years of his life and then moved to the us. he became a us citizen when he was 15.
he still speaks fluent german and sounds like a native. i love watching him "melt" into the culture... people are often confused when they don't know he is american.
3 we'll be moving to cairo, egypt at the end of this calendar year.
4 i'm addicted to books. i have way too many... it's just that there are so many cool things to learn about. i love to learn! if i could just retain it better since i've had kids!
5 i'm afraid to fly. not the fear that keeps me grounded, but i have to do a lot of deep breathing. after 9-11 i had to take xanax when i flew. i couldn't control the panic i felt with deep breathing. i realized later i was dealing with stress related to 9-11. (little bit of info there... we were living in monroe, ny then. i was driving to ocean city, nj that day and as i drove through new jersey i could see the cloud of smoke and debris over the city. a friend of ours who was a fire fighter was killed that day...)
6 did i mention we're moving to cairo?
ok, who wants to play? :0)
