5 Random things about me

1. I have to own the books I read and will even go buy a book that I've read on loan from someone.
2. Given a choice of items on a menu, I will always go for the one with goat cheese.
3. Years after selling it, I'm still mourning my first Audi TT. And my second. 
4. I crochet when I need down time or to sort through story ideas. My house is overflowing with yarn (my family may disown me; although the cats love this "problem" of mine). Anyone need a scarf? Or a crochet animal?
5. I'm a Formula 1 junkie and will even set an alarm on weekends to catch coverage of a race.
