I was surprised at some of our overlap.
I was surprised at your fun oddities in life!
I was surprised at the overlap of you and my husband.
I want to be you! Well, I would if I didn't love my life so much.
Will you teach me Italian? I was "supposed" to move to Italy after I graduated seminary, but met my husband instead.
I'm still hoping one day to live in Italy, but by them my Italian will be really rusty. I have tons of Italian kids stuff though, in hopes of teaching my kids one day!
Che Cosa voi conoscare?
That's probably VERY BAD ITALIAN GRAMMAr for what do you want to know?
I could do about half of them, with minor adjustments, like saxaphone instead of clarinet, though I can play my brother's clarinet because it is so similar, and takes less air. :) I was in stage crew, not the plays, on the dance squad, wrote poetry in every class, two younger bothers, took dance lessons until I was 16, good color choice. :)
May throw this up with some other memes going around for tomorrow. Things have been too busy for real writing. :)
