A Little Game of Tag

I've been tagged by Julie at Taking the Fat Out of Skinny.

The rules are:

1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 11 random things about yourself.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post.
4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them that you've tagged them.
6. No stuff in the tagging section about ‘you are tagged if you are reading this.’ blah blah blah, you actually have to tag 11 peeps!

11 Things About Me (y'all already know everything, but here it goes):

1. Red is my favorite color.
2. I absolutely detest purple.
3. I wish I could write poetry. 
4. Heck, I wish I could understand poetry.
5. When I get overly overwhelmed, I either shut down or lose it. 
6. I am completely sad that another football season is almost over.
7. I am looking forward to March Madness (this is college basketball for those who don't know).
8. After March Madness, I will be waiting for August when football preseason begins.
9. I am not looking forward to summer and am not enjoying the lack of cold weather. It's January. It should be cold.
10. I hated running in college but I love it now! It gives me that endorphin high that I can't reach when walking. Unfortunately, my knee is being rather uncooperative right now. 
11. I LOVE music of nearly all genres except country and techNO. And heavy metal.

Julie's questions for me are:

1. If you could go back in time would you change anything? Only if the thing I could change is to slow down time. That way I would have longer with the lovelies growing up!

2. What book are you reading right now? The Psychology of Everyday Things

3. What is your greatest accomplishment? Raising four absolutely incredibly delightful daughters.

4. Where do you see yourself this time next year? Sitting right here at this computer blogging.

5. Name one thing on your Bucket List. I don't have a bucket list. But I would love to learn a foreign language. Or write a book.

6. Are you a winter or summer person? WINTER! By all means!

7. What truly annoys you? Lots of things truly annoy me. Mostly because I'm a picky person and like things just so. I'll just go with snoring on this one.

8. What is your dream car/truck? Anything Mercedes or BMW.

9. Do you have any hobbies? Blogging, photography, writing, gardening...

10. Are you a morning person? Sort of. I love mornings. Especially early mornings. But I do NOT want to have a conversation in the morning.

11. Tea or coffee? TEA! And it must be green tea!

Ok, I've decided to tag (this was totally random- I entered numbers and picked 11) these folks (come on now! It was painless and, actually, a bit fun. BUT if you really don't want to do it or have already been tagged, don't sweat it! It's all good!):

1. Jesse at Jessee's spot
2. Momma Brown at Growing roots and turning over new leaves 
3. Kim at My Field of Dreams
4. Cindy at For One Another  
5. Debby at Just Breathe
6. Lisa at Mommie Dearest Strikes Again
7. Kara at Scattered joy
8. Kathy at Empty Nest But Full Heart
9. Patrice at Everyday Ruralty
10. April at 30 Before 30
11. Barb at This and That (As I Bounce Thru Life)
    

And here are the questions for y'all:

1. I am currently on a weight loss journey. What is your current journey?
2. Do you fear change, welcome it or do you simply not think about it?
3. How's your patience level?
4. Do you journal? Why or why not.
5. Do you have pets? If so, do you spoil them?
6. Do you prefer a quiet night at home or a night out on the town?
7. What is the last movie you saw at the theater?
8. Do you like sports? If so, what's your favorite?
9. Will you watch the Super Bowl this year? 
10. Did your team (if you have one) make it to the playoffs?
11. What about March Madness? Will you be filling out a bracket this year?

Yes, I know that those last ones are about sports. I can't help it. I love football and basketball. And soccer. The rest, not so much.

A Fun Little Game of TAG!

I’ve been tagged by my twin, Carol, at Facing 50 with Humour!  It's a fun little game of tag in which you get to answer some questions and tag 8 friends!

Everyone who gets tagged must answer the following questions.  READY? 


Do you think you're hot?
You have GOT to be kidding.  Seriously, you MUST be kidding.  That's a resounding NO.

Upload a picture or wall paper that you are using at the moment. 

the Lovelies

When was the last time you ate chicken? One day last week.  Maybe over the weekend.  Apparently, it was unimpressive.

The song/songs you listened to recently.  That's quite a variety because I just put my ZUNE on shuffle every morning while I walk the dog.  I recall the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, Maroon 5, the Doobie Brothers, the Stones, the Eagles, Jack Johnson, Tom Petty, the Goo Goo Dolls, Van Morrison....that's all I remember from today's walk.

What were you thinking while doing this?  Dang it Carol, this is HARD.  AND you took some of the blogs that I wanted to tag like Thisisme and Barb.  AND I'm not as clever and witty as you are so my answers kind of suck.


Do you have any nicknames? What are they?  Not really.  I have a dear friend who calls me Kiddo and, sometimes, DoodleBug calls me Lady but, other than that, nope.

Tag eight blogger friends...

Desiree at Driftwood Ramblings
Joyce at From This Side of the Pond
Alessandra at The Life and Times of A Nighbert
Michele at Bodacious Boomer
Sandra at Absolutely Narcissism 
Jessica at jessie's spot
Momma Brown at  The Turnip Farmer: growing roots and turning over new leaves
Anne at Anne Dickens The Day After Yesterday

Who's listed as number one?
That would be Desiree.  She is one of the kindest people on this earth.  She loves nature and recuses dogs!  She offers wonderful tours, awesome photography and interesting tales.  She is also a great encourager.  Everyone needs a friend like Desiree!

Say something about number five?
Sandra is freaking HILARIOUS!  She finds the humor in the everyday life of her family and it is never a disappointment to visit her blog!  And I simply cannot wait to hear her response to the first question. 

How did you get to know number three?
Carol (my Twin and the one responsible for me doing this tag thingy) featured Alessandra one day so I hopped over there and quite enjoyed what I read.  Alessandra is clever, funny, opinionated--three of my favorite qualities in a friend!

How about number four?
I can't remember how I found Michele but I'm so glad that I did (I think I just stumbled upon her blog after laughing at a comment she made on someone else's blog)!  Talk about humor?  I've practically fallen over laughing at this woman.  She can find humor in every situation you could ever imagine.  I keep thinking that, maybe one day, we'll see her doing stand-up somewhere!   


Leave a message for number six?
Jessica- I have totally enjoyed discovering all of our similarities!  Perhaps you should check out Carol's blog- she and I have discovered that we are long lost twins due to our similarities- it could be we're actually triplets! 


Leave a lovey- dovey message for number two?
Joyce, I have so enjoyed traveling vicariously through your lovely travel posts and your Wednesday Hodgepodge HOP renders me practically giddy with delight!   

 
Do number seven and number eight have similarities?
Well, they are both funny and they both have young daughters.  Oh, and it is NEVER a waste of time visiting their blogs!  



Ok girls, it's all on y'all now!  Thanks again to my twin, Carol, for forcing me by gunpoint letting me join in the game!


So ladies:  “TAG - YOU’RE IT!”
