I’ve Been Tagged, or Tug, or Taggen (oh well…whatever it is)

I’ve finally been tagged and of course it came from none other than my dear, sweet, BH!  Thanks dear!  Love ya….

So, here goes, to the best of my ability!

5 Things I Was Doing 10 Years Ago

  • Preparing to enter my last semester of college…ah the joys of Student Teaching!
  • Working in retail…ironically for a “plus sizes” store, when I couldn’t use the discount…10 years later, what I wouldn’t GIVE for that discount.
  • Attending BH’s 5-year HS reunion (and thinking about attending mine)…assuming that you are good with math and neither BH nor me worked above or below our grade levels you can now figure out how old we are.
  • Neglecting my muscial interests…something I stopped neglecting once we bought a house in which to keep my piano and found a church where I can occasionally “toot my flute”!
  • Vacationing at either the OBX or Cape Henlopen with my parents…an annual tradition that will continue once we bring CJ home.

5 Snacks I Enjoy

  • Cheese Puffs
  • Cheetos
  • Cheese N’ Crackers
  • Cheese-Its
  • Cheese

5 TV Shows I’ve Seen Every Episode Of

5 Things I Would Do If I Were a Millionaire

  • Donate more money to charity
  • Adopt more children internationally
  • Open an “orphanage”…a place where children can feel love and compassion without fear of being shipped from one place to another.
  • Open my own bakery
  • Open and operate my own Bed & Breakfast (at the beach)

5 Bad Habits

  • Biting my nails
  • Eating on an irregular schedule
  • Procrastinating…isn’t this true for everyone?  Who doesn’t admit to procrastinating?
  • Biting off more than I can chew…I love to volunteer for things I don’t really have time to do.
  • Volunteering BH for things without his permission…and he’s too sweet to refuse after I volunteer him.

5 Things I Like To Do

  • Sing in my church choir and occasionally provide a flute accompaniment
  • Bake, cook…anything that takes place in the kitchen
  • Swim…in the ocean, in a pool, in my bathtub…anywhere so long as I’m WET!!!
  • Travel…is there a country I wouldn’t want to visit?  Hmmmmm….NOPE!!!!
  • Laugh…it’s life’s best medicine and provides my belly with a better workout than if I did 500 sit-ups every day (ok…maybe that’s pushing it, but it’s what I like to tell myself, so pipe down all you exercise gurus out there…you better not burst my bubble!!!!).

5 Things I Would Never Wear Again

  • Legwarmers
  • Wide belts over thigh-length blouses
  • Suspenders
  • Permed hair…yeah, I know it’s not terrible…but as you know from BH I am a red-head and all a perm does is make me look like “Little Orphan Annie”!
  • Jelly Shoes…ugh…talk about making your feet sweat and stink!  YUCK!!!!!

5 Favorite Toys

  • Flute and Piano
  • Digital Camera…I love experimenting
  • Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer
  • Ellie, my cat…yes, only she could serve as my most amusing toy!
  • TV with DVR (Digital Video Recorder)…now I don’t miss a single favorite show!  How did I ever survive without it?

5 Things I Can’t Stand

  • Toilet paper with poor perforation that tears off unevenly
  • Wool, lace, and any other “scratchy” fabrics on my skin
  • Spiders!!!!!…and bugs of any other sort with the exception of lady bugs, butterflies, and lightning bugs, although I would still freak out if any of the acceptable ones landed on me.
  • Dirt on my hands and under my fingernails…for that reason I just choose to not engage in activities that might make me dirty, except camping, which I LOVE despite the bugs and dirt.
  • Wearing sandals in public…God only knows what might crawl across my feet and I would just prefer being left in the dark on that subject!

Ugh…I think that was a little harder for me than BH!  But it was still loads of fun!  So, I guess it is now my turn to unload the “loads of fun” onto some other unsuspecting readers!  Hmmmmmm….

Tag…our Guatemala adoption buddies and neighbors J, S, A & W (and soon to be Toby)…you’re it!  Have fun!  I’m looking forward to reading your answers!

Tag…our ever-supportive friend who shares some really great family stories about herself, the Man, the Boy, Eeyore, and Peanut…you’re it!

Tag…the newest up-and-coming member of our family, my Niece-in-Law, Jer Jer…you’re it (too late…you already decided to join the family!)!!!

Honestly folks, those are the only people I can think of to TAG (I guess that means all our other really good friends and family members who sometimes read and comment here really need to start a blog for themselves, hmmmm?)!!!  If I think of anyone else I’ll come back and edit!  Thanks for taking the time to read about me, and enjoy reading the sites of those people I tagged!  Happy blogging my dear sweet friends and family!!!  I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
