Ok Here's Your Silly Tag Answers

J2 tagged me, so having nothing better to do while sitting here at Job #2 on a Tuesday night, here is the tagging premise:

RULES - Post rules before giving the facts - Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves - People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules - At the end of the your blog you need to tag six people and list their names - Leave them a comment on their blog, telling them they have been tagged and not to forget to read your blog.

1. Having grown up in a neighborhood where the "Goodie Shoppe" bakery was just a couple of blocks away from the house, I was raised to appreciate a love of quality sweets: pastries, cupcakes, kolaches, etc. So to this day I am somewhat of a sweets snob. I cannot STAND hard, nasty little cookies! I think the Oreo is a foul, disgusting, black little crumbly thing. Gross!

2. I find running so incredibly boring that in order to survive doing it, I have to play movies in my mind's eye while running. If you see me running there's actually a mini-dvd player going on in my brain.

3. Since I was a pre-teen I've been afflicted over the years with various nervous tics that come and go based on the amount of stress I have in my life. I hope they are subtle enough that you don't notice them, but maybe you have. (Do I have a slight version of my favorite syndrome, Tourette's???)

4. I'm currently sitting right now in the very library where my dad taught me and my brother to play chess. I can picture it like it was yesterday thought it must've been about 25 years ago at least.

5. I've voted in every presidential election and most local elections since I turned 18 and could. I'll be damned if women fought and died and suffered for the right to vote and I don't honor them and their battle!

6. I try to remember to cross myself before leaving the house to go out on patrol but sometimes I forget.

7. I've seen the movie The Karate Kid dozens and dozens of times. There was that summer where my stepfather would drop me and my brother off at the dollar theater several times a week and we always watched that movie.

8. I love the thong! Who needs ugly pantylines and saggy granny panties? Sure, sometimes I have to tug and adjust a little but thongs are mostly what I wear... and DH will tolerate nothing else! :-)


So now I have to tag some folks and either they'll obey or they won't. I hereby tag:

Joel

Ranger

Claudia

Janel

and I don't know 2 other people to tag in this venue.

My arm's not hurting so much today; yesterday I could barely pick up a piece of paper. Last night after the sheriff's meeting Mudflap and C. and I went to our usual haunt, the Hard Rock, where I had apple cobbler with ice cream. I realized today that I don't have hardly any free time to myself until over a week away. Tonight I'm at Job #2; tomorrow night I'm "supposed" to rehearse with Jimmy (I'm going to see if I can get out of that b/c I seriously am going to need some time for life and other things!); Thursday night I have to teach a class at a local public library; Friday night is J. Fi's wedding rehearsal and dinner; Sat. night is the wedding; Sunday is the post-wedding brunch and then I have to work at Job #1 until 6pm; and Monday is a holiday but I will be busy with the baby.

Maybe the title of my autobiography--since R. poached Cake for Days from me!--should be When Mad Schedules Happen To Good People.
