DAGNABIT- They got me again!!

Seems I was too slow on the blogger playground, and so I got TAGGED by the lovely Krista. Krista is waiting for her daughter Mia, who is waiting for her mommy, in China. This girl is a hoot!!!! I do not know how I ever came across her blog, but boy am I glad that I did. I live vicariously through her with all her travels across the US of A, and all her bloggy girl parties and her super fly decorating talents. The girl Rocks. And I still Love her even though she tagged me. :)



The rules:

Post 3 random things about yourself.

Link to the person who tagged you in your post.

Tag at least 5 other bloggers.

Let them know you've tagged them by commenting on their blog with an invite to participate.


And... Here we go.

3 Boring and useless random facts about myself:

1. I think I might have gotten the desire to have a big family from all the TV shows I watched growing up… 8* is e*nough, The P*artridge F*amily, The W*alton’s, The B*rady B*unch, The S*murfs. So really, all of those people who think I am weird...not my fault. The TV is to blame. (MOM!) So for all of you, the take away for today...monitor what your children watch. And to all of those who “get” me - I agree, we are blessed. :) So are you!!!

2. Turns out, I have NO rhythm. I say turns out, because I once thought I did. I can do that step -- Together. Step. Touch -- with the best of them. And I have even been known to throw a snap or two in there. But that is the extent of it. Sure, I couldn’t do the M*oon Walk. But I thought that was a fluke. During the 90’s when hip-hop was big, I was pretty sure I was bustin' a move. In fact, I’m certain I did on at least one occasion.
I guess what I’m asking is... is it possible to lose your grove? Because I swear at one time I had some semblance of groove. Maybe not a healthy dose, but at least a small one. Now...Nothing. How did I find this out you're wondering? I think I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror during aerobics. I know, that is not technically dance, but this is when I first noticed there might be a rhythm disorder. The feet and hands were moving to the beat in my head and it all felt so right, until I caught my reflection in the mirror. It was not pretty and a bit jolting. I tested my moves out in a variety of other situations. Not good.
But you know what I found. There is always one place I can go where I always have "Groove." My Church. God appreciates everyone's unique Groove. As a matter of fact, I think He thinks it is just perfect! Heh.


3. I LOVE You… Not kidding. I love people. For me, to know you is to love you. Unless you are mean. Then I love you, but I DO NOT like you. Sorry. I love, love, love to meet new people. What I love just as much as meeting new people is matching friends. I love when I make new friends and I can introduce them to other friends. Like a friend matchmaker. I love when I can make someone a new friend, almost more than when I make a new friend. Is that weird? Is this also some sort of disorder? That’s okay, you can think I’m weird. I still love you. :)

Okay… I know I told you I love you, but now I am going to turn around and TAG you.


1. Colleen... BWAHAHA. Because you tagged me last time. :)

2. Jen... Cause we haven't had a chance to talk so I am trying to make contact..LOL. I owe you, I know.

3. Margie... Because you have time on your hands since you are DTC... ;)

4. Rebecca... Because I haven't seen you participate in one of these things yet, and I don't want you to miss out on the fun! ;)

5. Lisa ... Because you went into blogger hiding, and what better way to welcome you back than with a TAG. :)


How will you thank me? An e-card? How about a cookie bouquet?

OOH, You know what... surprise me!
