I’ve Been Tagged by Tammy

Here's the plan.  Once tagged you should write your own blog with 10 random and or weird facts about yourself and tag 10 other friends.  This gives us a chance to learn a bit more about each other and makes us think of our own weirdness.  LOL  Have fun and let's see if we can get some new people doing this.


1.  I am the youngest child.  My sibblings are all 7 plus years older than me.  I also have a niece who is my Sis by choice that I love very much!


2.  I have two sons and a daughter and son by marriage, so I have 4 children I love very much!


3.  I now have 6 grandchildren with another one on the way!!


4.  I love to read!!!


5.  I am really quite a home body.  Only go shopping when I really really have to do. 


6.  Have made and also met some wonderful friends here on Myspace and wouldn't want to give them up. Each special for their own reason. 


7.  Love animals ~ my favorite though are dogs!


8.  I have high emotions.  ~ both happy and sad


9.  I love to make quilts, but I also love working with wood.


10.  I have a very shy side to myself, but if you get past that I can be very outgoing too.

Here's how you play:


Once you've been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end, choose 10 people to be tagged, list their names and why you tagged them. Don't forget to leave them a comment saying "You're It!" and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you, so even though you can't tag me back, you still have to let me know when you are done so that I can go read YOUR blog post.

You and I ~ Share a Memory Please

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over these words right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and I. It can be anything you want - good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) by what people remember about you


This was posted in my friend Cheryl's blog. I am going to give it a try and see how many people want to contribute a memory, no matter how small. Thanks.

Special Friends

Today I look at myself and say how did I get this old already??  Yes, time does fly when you get to be an adult.  Remember how we wished the years away?  Wanting to be old enough to drive, to graduate from HS, or maybe a legal drink?   I look back at all the years I can remember and have tons of  happy memories and of course sad ones too.  Today I just want to tell all of my Special MS friends how important you are to me.  You brighten my day and give me smiles and chuckles.  You are such a great bunch of friends.  You have helped me through rough the times like when I lost Lady.  I didn't think I would ever get past that time.  Been there to share the good times~Nate and Heidi's wedding and births of grandkids and yes me getting my Bella.  Often times you may not even realize how the words or comments you send just happen to make my day.  Yes~ You are Special to me!  Thank you!! 


Love and Hugs!!!

Stella's Game ~ Thanks Deb

Each player of this game starts off with 6 weird things/habits about themselves. People who get tagged need to write a blog with their own 6 things/habits as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, they need to choose 6 people to be tagged, and list their names. Then they should leave a comment to each of the six they tagged that says, "you are tagged" and ask them to read your blog.


1. Whenever I walk through the toy section of stores or in a toy store I always have to push the buttons and such to make the toys make their great sounds. 


2.  Caffeine does not keep me awake!  I can drink coffee all day and all night and yes I can still fall asleep before anyone else around me. 


3.  I am lousy swimmer, but love the water and the sun!


4.  If I accidently leave home without my cell phone I have to come back, but if I forget coupons or list I just keep going!


5.  I hate the feel of being dirty, but love to play in the dirt planting flowers.

Can You Laugh At Yourself ~~ Deb started this!! Lol

  Actually this is one of those embarrassing moments.  I am known for sticking foot in mouth and moments where I really should be more careful in ways.  This happened about 1992 when I had my own cleaning service.  I worked full time for the one company and also did their corporate apartments when they were used.   I was very familiar with their visitors schedules, so knew or thought I knew when it was safe to go in.  One particular time I unlocked apartment and walked in only to have the very high up in company German official to come walking down the hall toward me with nothing on and not even a towel to help matters.  I am sure I turned twenty shades of red!  I somehow said I am so sorry, turned and  headed out the door.  Later going back when I knew he was on flight back to Germany!!  Jan had left me this really sweet note telling me something to the effect of he was sorry he didn't get a chance to thank me for taking such good care of apt.  Not to worry about walking in.  He said he just didn't think he should rush to stop me as he wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion.  LOL   I was thankful for the note and later even shared my events with the company president who got a great chuckle out of it.  Once the initial embarrassment was over I laughed at myself and still do!!
