5 people you would love to see do their top 5 (I’m tagging some of my new blog faves):
Then I was tagged by Milanese Masala to do the 7 Things meme. And since I just can’t say no to someone as marvelous as she, here it goes.
- Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
- Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird
- Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names and links to their blogs.
- Tell them that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
So I’ve done these a few times. I’m thinking I’ll pretty soon run out of weird and dare I say RANDOM things about myself. But I’ll give it another shot.
- I seriously considered putting my kids in foster care/up for adoption/or in boot camp today. That’s a blog post waiting to happen! The short version…don’t.touch.mommy’s.new.tv!!!
- I’m obsessed with scrapbook paper. I hardly scrapbook. I never use it all up. But I continue to buy it like it’s going to one day stop existing. It’s all the colors and patterns. It makes me so happy to just thumb through all my paper and dream of all the ways I COULD use it one day…but never do : )
- My cycle is 35-41 days long. You probably didn’t need or want to know that, but hey, it’s weird! And most definitely random! Okaaay…next
- You might not believe me, but I’ve spent most of my life with an introvert mask on, being shy and getting embarrassed easily, but I decided a couple years ago that enough’s enough and I’m now just obnoxious : )
- I make the BEST cookies ever. I’ve been told that they are almost as good as…well…you know…(blushing).
- I can remember the words to pretty much every song I’ve ever heard.
- My husband used to bug me all the time because if I ever said “what?” after he said something to me, when he repeated himself he says I would mouth along word for word what he had just told me. I SWEAR I didn’t hear what he said the first time, but I guess my subconscious did. Now I make sure to listen carefully and clamp my lips closed when someone repeats themselves to me. Too embarrassing.
Alright, now for 7 more people to tag…Becky, Pam, Valleygirl, Val, Alexis, Corie, Jenene
Note: If I have tagged you for a meme, you are under absolutely no pressure to do them. Just giving you some linky love : )
I can’t reach the cookies (HEHEHE).

That was great! I am with you on Lipstick Jungle…LOVE it, I nearly freaked when you said it was over after this week..just season finale right?? they are coming back!!! I hope!
Hey I’ve never tried your cookies what is up with that!! LOL and mmmm ketchup chips gotta love em! oh yeah and one more thing my life is more fulfilled not that I know your cycle…ROFL!!

What in the world are ketchup chips?!? Maybe I’m missing something here but is it just dipping potato chips in ketchup or is this something that I’ve just never seen or heard of before? Just curious. At the same time, since I’m ’saying good-bye to pounds’ maybe this is something that should remain in the dark for me.
Regarding names, if we had a girl she would have been named Jaeda Emily. Didn’t happen.
My solution to the overabundance of scrapbook paper…for now, I don’t go to those stores and am vowing to finish using what I have. Is that going to happen? I don’t know but I have to at least give it a shot.

Yes, your cookies ARE almost as good as Elin’s. No need to blush or feel ashamed. I understand.

Hey, thanks for the comment. I was beginning to think you had forgotten me!
Just kidding, I’m actually very honored; you have a huge blog roll, it’s truly amazing that you take time to read and comment.
And I’ll try to do this meme, although coming up with 7 random things is not easy.
Also, did you get our invitation? See you on Friday!

Okay, that was kind of freaky. The movies you listed? Four out of the five are favourites of mine (Haven’t seen Music from Another Room…yet!). And the seven things? #’s 1-6 are spot on! Seriously! Except my freakishly long period suddenly started arriving five days early three months ago. What on earth!?

Why are all your fav things under $10 food products….no wait, JUNK food products….magazines aside….
We are similar in more ways than you would think (we’ll talk about it one day).

Love ya girl!
