I have been Tagged - 20 Things About Me.
This tag brought to you by Felicity who was tagged by Maggie.........
1. I was bitten by a monkey at the zoo when I was a little. He also pulled my braid until a zoo keeper rescued me. (Oh, I mentioned monkeys on my blog, so now my blog is officially about sketching and monkeys!!)
2. In the middle of the night a bear sniffed and snuffled at the end of my sleeping bag while I was IN IT, during a camping trip in the wilderness section of Yosemite.
3. To get me to hike to the top of Yosemite, my husband, when we were first dating, had to lie to me saying we were not going all the way up, just a little bit further. If I had known there were going to be bears in our campground that night sniffing my sleeping bag, I would not have gone at all.
3. While the dentist was in the middle of cleaning my teeth, I was so afraid that I jumped out of the chair when it was still horizontal rushing out of the office with the green bib still chained to my neck. My husband had an appointment with the same dentist that afternoon and got to hear all about it.
4. I still have my tonsils.
5. I am addicted to lip balm.
6. I drive a car.
7. I don't wear a toe ring.
8. Once I...oh never mind, that was somebody else.
9. I wish I had a kayak.
10. I just had jury duty.
11. When I was little, I was knocked unconscious while playing outside running around with a bunch of friends. When I came to, I thought I had just fallen asleep on the ground and apologized for doing so.
12. I am an only child, but when I was growing up I had invisible friends. My brothers and sisters were invisible too. You could see my parents.
13. I once taped a PBS special about when Richard Feyman was still alive and his quest to travel to Tortuga. I loaned it out and it was never returned. I wish I still had that tape.
14. When I get tired of playing Monopoly, I cheat to lose so I can quit playing.
15. I can't play the violin. I can't play the tuba either, for that matter. When I tried to take violin lessons in sixth grade, my teacher told me to quit. I think his name was Mr. Watermelon or something that sounded like that.
16. I had a flu shot this week.
17. I almost died last year. (Every day Really Does Matter!)
18. I hate anchovies.
19. I did not use my spell checmk to write this list.
20. My cell phone gets lousy coverage.
And, now I am tagging, Amy, Teri, Jes, Gabriella and Lynne. Surprise! So, now you need to write 20 random things about yourself and then tag five others.

I love Richard Feyman too! I saw that same PBS special and wished I'd tapped it. My son is studying Physics in college and has down loaded his introductory lectures. What a guy!
Amost died! Wow that's a really huge thing to process. Hope you are on the mend.
I only saw one programme on Richard Feyman but it left a big impression on me. Couldn't believe it when it then went on to talk about his art work.
Oh, I want a toe ring. Hey, I think no. 8 is cheating :)!
Laurie, such fun and interesting 20 things. But you left us hanging about your near death experience.
Laurie, this is one of the funniest 20 things I've read in a while! :-D
Okay, with the exception of the near death, etc... duh.
Anyway, I enjoyed reading it!
Laurie! I haven't gotten to play tag in a loonnnnngg time. I didn't know about the monkey. Since your blog is about sketching and monkeys I would like to see a monkey sketch. Ya gotta go to the Reid Zoo girl...cause it just HAS to be the real thing. ;)
HAHHHA that was great. I hardly ever finish reading the 20 things lists but I loved yours!
