::sniff:: this reminds me of my childhood ~~ I *loved* to play tag :)
Now I'm playing grown-up tag! I was tagged by
Lacey Stephens. I've only had my blog a few months, so this is my first game of tag :) Here are the rules, copied from her blog:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Gotta warn ya ~~ I'm not that exciting!!!
1. I am deathly afraid of heights, & I am deathly afraid of flying. However, my fear of flying does not come from my fear of heights. The one time I did fly (honeymoon) I had no problem looking out the window ~ I found it fascinating. For me, it's a fear of crashing. I know, it's safer than driving. But you can survive a car crash ~~ I'm proof!! ~~ but how many people survive a plane crash?
2. I was born in Orlando, Florida. I now live in Wisconsin. That's right ~ we moved FROM Florida TO Wisconsin ~~ who does that?? My parents have a picture of the sign "Future home of Walt Disney World". I will never get to go to Disney World. See #1. It's a loooong drive!
3. I write with my right hand, but I do almost everything else with my left. I count money, deal cards, vacuum, & sometimes even stamp with my left hand. I don't think that makes me ambidextrous, because I think that means you can do everything with either hand. I definitely can't write with my left. My son, on the other hand, writes with his left hand, & does most everything else with his right.
4. I'm an only child. I hate it. I've always hated it. I always begged my parents for a brother or sister. Little did I know that my dad was "fixed" shortly after I was born ~ no siblings for me :(
5. I was in choir for many years, & even played the piano for a few, but I canNOT sing worth a darn!! Is singing something that can be learned, or do you have to be born with that talent??
6. Ok, this isn't about me, really ~ but it's interesting. My uncle used to be a professor at Harvard. He had Matt Damon in his class. Matt started writing "Good Will Hunting" as a short story for his class. My uncle raved about it, & encouraged him to keep going with it. We all know where he went with the story! He has mentioned my uncle by name many times in interviews.
7. I have a bit of OCD. Ok, more than a bit. I do weird things like check my coffeemaker 16 times to make sure I unplugged it before I leave the house. I check to make sure the garage door is shut at least 5 times every night before bed. I always have to know exactly where my cats are before I leave the house. And don't even ask me how many times I check to make sure my curling iron is unplugged, even though I have the kind that auto shuts off after 30 minutes.
There ya go ~~~ weird & not-so-interesting facts about me. Don't you feel a little closer to me now? I need to tag 7 people so here's my list:
TammiNikkiJoviKimTrinaToriIlaThese ladies all have fantastic blogs, so go check them out!!
I'm actually glad Lacey tagged me, it gave me something to post today!! I only made one card over the weekend & it's a secret......shhhhhh........I will be able to show you in a few weeks! This weekend was a busy one ~~ we spent Saturday with my mom, & Sunday I spent most of the day outside doing fall clean up & trying to take care of my sick hubby. He has what sounds like pneumonia ~~ just add it to the list of things making him miserable. He goes for another consult next week with yet another surgeon ~~ hopefully this will be the one!!!
Have a great Monday!!
