7 Things Tag

I was tagged by The Bayou Belles and Their Beau for "7 Things".

The Rules:
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 are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.


Ok, I've listed 50 Things About Me here, 10 More Things here, and 7 more things here. I'm gonna have to dig deep on this one. I'm really getting to the nitty-gritty here and having to do some soul searching... LOL! :)


SEVEN THINGS ABOUT ME

1. I want to do a "bucket list", you know, the list of things I want to do before I die. However, I'm having trouble even starting it because I don't know what I, just me, all by myself, want to do. I think it's important to have one's own personal goals; I'm just having a hard time coming up with something. I'm happy in my little rut right now I suppose.

2. I need to go shopping for new bras now that I'm done nursing - good thing I'm not buying anything in April because I hate shopping for bras. I really, really do. And then there is the underwire uncomfortableness and the handwashing... how do you wash and dry those things?! Seriously, how do YOU do it? I haven't found a good way! Plus, while you're here, any suggestions on a comfortable bra? Does one even exist?

3. I have a scar in one of my eyebrows from when my dad dropped me as a baby. He was throwing me up in the air and missed me. I landed on the edge of a flowerpot. (Does that make the weird qualification in the rules?)

4. I can't stand the feel of velvet or velor or whatever it's called. I hate it. It's weird. Ok, that qualifies for something weird...

5. Ok, let's keep going with the weird theme... I've been trying to find a way to post these pictures of myself, because I think they're great. Not that I look great, because I don't, but because Nathan took them and I guess this is what I look like from his point of view. (Again, it must be the sleep deprivation making me post horrendous pictures of myself...)





Ok, that's enough from me today. Tag YOU'RE it:

(In no particular order of course...)

1. Milk Allergy Mom (new bloggy buddy)

2. I've Got 3 Chickadees (it's time for you to post again!)

3. Buncha Blue-Eyed Monkeys (just met her)

4. Happy at Home (because you didn't do the last one)

5. Through My Window (because you didn't do the last one, either!)

6. The Miss Elaine-ous Life (new bloggy buddy - her son adores Thomas, too)

7. The Adventures of T & Super B (I don't think you did the last one, either...) LOL!

More Taggin'

I've been meaning to do these tags from Heritage Academy since January!

Tag #1

Here are the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages.)

2. Open the book to page 123.

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the next three sentences.

5. Tag five people.


The nearest book to me is "'finding calm in the chaos: Christian Devotions for Busy Women" by Kathleen Long Bostrom.

"Perhaps if God has any trouble writing on our hears, it's a signal that there is something amiss in our lives, something that needs to be examined and fixed. It might be a problem that goes way back in our personal history, some "block" that keeps us from accepting our believing the word God wishes to carve upon our spirit. I also love the idea that God writes on our hearts because writing implies words, and it is the Word, after all, that brings all life, and new life, into our hearts in the first place."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tag #2

Here are the rules:

1. You must post the rules before you give your answers.

2. List one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name).

3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and that they need to read your blog for details).

L: Letters. I love mail! I love going to the mailbox in hopes of something great!

Y: Yawns, a lot. I like my sleep. 9 hours a night would be great!

N: No news. I don't watch the news... never have. I like being in my own little "boring" world.

N: Nip & tuck. One day I plan on getting rid of this belly pooch I acquired from those 3 boys...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tag #3

First, the rules, which are important, because they also tag — randomly — six more people to join in the fun:

  • Link to the person that tagged you
  • Post the rules on your blog
  • Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself
  • Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
  • Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website

Six non-important things about myself:

  1. I'm considering growing out my hair for Locks of Love.
  2. I love calamari (you know, squid). Especially fried... or in seafood gumbo.
  3. I had a C-section (only) with my third son after about 12 hours of induced labor... he was stuck and a hefty little man weighing in at 10 lbs 1 oz!
  4. I finished my degree in Chemical Engineering mostly to prove that I could... not because I enjoyed it... because I didn't.
  5. Two of my all time favorite movies are Grease and Grease II.
  6. I really hate to sweat. It makes me itch. And then I have to take a shower and then I have to dry my hair. That's a pain. I hate drying my hair. So there's the reason I don't exercise or work in the yard on a really hot day - I don't want to dry my hair! LOL!
(For 50 more things about me you can check out this post: Me... In List Form)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, since each of these tags require a different number of people to tag, I'm just going to tag the max (plus 1). Pick and choose which tags (if any or all) you'd like to do.

Here are a few bloggers that need to post something on their blogs before I write them off my blogroll... (haha!)
Happy at Home
Through My Window

Some frugal bloggers that might not be interested since this is a time waster, fun, but still a time waster! (no money to be saved in wasted time, ya know!) LOL!
Centsible Shopper
Coins In the Couch

A new organizing blog I've picked up along the way
Organizational Enlightenment

A tag back to Redefining Sanity, just to make her a little more insane.... :O)

And, the plus 1: The Adventures of T & Super B because she's a self-proclaimed Alabama hillbilly! LOL!

It's All About ME!

I've been tagged by Redefining Sanity for this meme. The rules are:

  1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
  2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
  3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

And here's the meme:

What I was doing 10 years ago: I was at Georgia Tech taking final exams... waiting for my next co-op quarter to start in Alabama!

Five things on my To Do List today:

  1. Laundry and more laundry
  2. make orange juice with the boys before the oranges go bad
  3. this week's meal plan & grocery list
  4. send out the giveaways
  5. find a file on our old computer and send it to a friend in GA

Snacks I enjoy: pretty much anything chocolate. Pringles are good, too. Oreos. I wish I liked fruit more...

Things I would do if I were a billionaire: set up college funds, pay off our house, build a new one, give to the church, some to charity, do some fun shopping, and there would still be... what? a few million left over to save for a rainy day, right? LOL!

Three of my bad habits: talking before I think about what I'm going to say, starting but not finishing something, looking off to the side while having a conversation (I don't know why I do this... it drives me crazy when I catch myself!)

Five places I have lived:

  1. Ocean Side, CA
  2. Bay City, TX
  3. Wilmington, DE
  4. Evans, GA
  5. Eau Claire, WI

Five jobs I've had:

  1. cashier at Kroger
  2. lifeguard at a local waterpark
  3. hoagie sandwich maker at a local sub-shop
  4. data entry clerk for the GA Tech Housing Department
  5. Process Control Engineer for Mohawk Industries

Five people I want to know more about (a nice way of saying TAG!):
1. Mama of Boys
2. Our Lovely Life
3. justkc
4. Not Trying for a Boy
5. orryally
