The rules are as follows:• Each player creates a list of eight random personal facts/habits.

8 RANDOM FACTS (A Short Poem by Tracy)

Insist that I prefer pop-tarts untoasted

drink Fresca

buy vast varieties of tea, but rarely drink it

waste time eating lime and chili peanuts
plant over 30 tomato plants every spring

preserve my own pickles and salsa

still love the feel of fresh earth between my fingers when planting seeds

while always forgeting to be thankful for everything I have.
