Rules, Rules, Rules. . .
1. List the rules on your blog.
2. Answer all eight of the six things listed.
3. Let each person know that they have been tagged.

I know, I have not done very well with these rules. O-Well!! Blessings!!!

Coming Soon. . . more Tagged!!

I have again been tagged, but since I am really not feeling well I will have to get to it later.
Be on the look out for Tagged Again!!! I know you can't wait!!!

Tagged Again!!!

1. I got tagged again!! I must admit that when Rachel notified me that she tagged me I was not as excited about it as I was the first time. It takes me a while to really think about what to share. But, I do want to thank Rachel for thinking of me. I just hope I don't get tagged again for a while. LOL

2. I saw on someone's blog that they enlisted the help of their children to pick out 7 weird or random things, so I did the same.

C thinks that it is weird that I wear a size 10 shoe. I am sorry, but I need a good foundation for this 5 foot 8 inch body. I know, I know I have BIG FEET!! Thanks for noticing C.

J thinks it is weird that I am the only one in the family who has curly hair. Now this is a good one. I never really stop to think about it, but it is true. Everyone else has straight hair.

K thinks that I have fat fingers. WHAT??? I know my fingers are a little pudgy, but come on! Fat Fingers?? What do you think? I hate to point this out to K but she is going to have fingers just like me when she is older!!!

Kurt even got in on this and reminded me about the weirdest thing of all. I grew up eating french toast (keep in mind it was just bread and egg) with ketchup on it. Yes, you read that right. It has been years since I ate it that way. Now we make it with cinnamon and put syrup on it. I also ate jelly on pancakes when I was growing up. Most of you out there would probably think that was weird too.

Now that you know all the weird stuff about me, I will mention a few random things. I love to read. I hated to read when I was growing up. I would actually cheat on my book reports and only read a few pages--enough to write the report and that was it. Now, I probably have about 500 books in the house.

I like to knit. I just learned how to knit about 5 years ago and have enjoyed this hobby. But, I only knit scarves and dishcloths. I haven't had the courage to do a large project. I would also like to learn to crotchet.

I currently am coaching my son's basketball team. I am greatly enjoying it. I hope he is too!!

3. To tag 7 others.

Well this is going to take awhile, I don't want to tag the same people I tagged last week. So let's see. . .

I know. . .I will cheat a little. I tag all those who are my followers (except Traci and Amy, who I tagged the first time around.)

4. So, if you follow this blog--consider yourself tagged!!!

I have been tagged!!

Hello All,


1. I have been tagged by Cynthia over at Under the Misty Mountain.


2. Let's see. . . the rules say to list 7 random or weird things about myself. Are you sure my husband shouldn't be doing this. I know that he could come up with about 70 random or weird things about me. LOL

I was really excited to get tagged by Cynthia!! Thanks Cynthia!!! Some of you out there who have been tagged numerous times will probably think that this is kind of weird, right?!?

My hometown is Punxsutawney, PA. Yes, people actually live there not just groundhogs!!!

I am always cold. I love to curl up in the chair with a blanket, even when it is 100 degrees outside. It drives Kurt nuts when I have all the heavy blankets on the bed.

Okay this one is really weird. . . I don't like the food on my plate to touch!!! I HATE it when my food runs together or gets mixed. And I usually eat one thing before I start on another. I have a hard time at picnics unless I have a divided plate. I know. . . it is weird!!!

I have an Associates Degree in Computer Applications/Business Management. I went to a local business college in July after graduating high school, went 18 months straight, and graduated in December the following year. (notice I didn't mention what year)

Everyone in our family was born in a different state or country!! I was born in Pennsylvania, Kurt was born in Florida, C was born in Georgia, J was born in New Jersey, K was born in Missouri, and A was born in China.

I was quite athletic when I was in high school although you probably would not guess that to look at me now. I played basketball all through elementary, junior high and high school and I was in track and field in junior high and high school. I did high jump and threw shot put. I really had a good time.


3. Now I get to find 7 people to tag. I know that it says random people, but I am going to try to find people that have not been tagged before. . . if that is possible. LOL
I surely am not the last one out there to be tagged. If you have been tagged before and do not wish to be tagged again please leave me a comment and I will try to find someone else that may wish to be tagged. Thanks!!!

Traci at Our Little Asian Sensation. Traci is part of the AWAA family. She just started her blog not too long ago so if you get a chance check it out.

Jenn at Love Like Crazy. Please pray for Jenn and her family as they wait to bring home their precious Karleighmei.

Terrye at the Shirley's Adventure to Grace Elyse. In addition to being a fellow adoptive parent, Terrye is a Gators fan like my husband!!

Tonya at Bringing Home Noelle. Tonya is also part of the AWAA family.

Amy at Introducing Olivia. Amy's angel is also from Guangxi.

Lynne at Now We Are 6. Blogging about life while they are living in China.

Sharon at Blooms and Blessings. I love her scrapbooking pages!!

Okay all, I am off to notify the lucky ones that I have tagged. Talk to you all soon!! Can't wait to read what random and weird things you all come up with.
Blessings to all!!

BTW--no need to tag me back. This took a lot longer than I though it would. LOL
But it was fun!!!
