She never passes along the blog tag baton. Well because there was no pressure and she asked us to tag ourselves, I did just that.
So in honour of ED, I am posting my 10 (extremely) random things. And I'd like any of my fellow bloggers that get inspired, to do the same! Consider it passed along...

9. I don’t have a competitive bone in my body - until it comes to Scrabble!
