Tag!

Okay, Stephanie "tagged me" to write 8 random things about myself, as she did in her blog, http://www.blogahon.blogspot.com/, so here goes:

1) My favorite song in college was Shifting Sand by Caedmon's Call. I would listen to it while walking across campus and would shed tears as I felt it so applied to my life. Still does.

2) I use a pair of James' black work socks to cover my eyes as I sleep at night because our window lets in the street light and morning light. I also wear his boxers and T's to bed.

3) I probably spend more on coffee than I do on clothes. I bet a year's analysis would prove it.

4) I have dreams that will probably never come to fruition, but they're fun to fantasize about anyway (inventing something that people need or love, winning a car at the mall, returning to Japan with James, singing for an audience without being a red-faced, flutter-voiced nervous wreck!)

5) I love back rubs and I used to be able to totally live without them. Must be that I've endured 9 months of back strain necessitating an acquired love of back rubs.

6) My favorite daytime show is Bringing Home Baby and A Baby Story on TLC.

7) I want a hottub.

8) I get emotional when I see homeless, frail people, and when I see adults baptized.

Who do I tag next? Missy, Karen, Leslie, my mom, James (put your 8 on our blog please?), and anyone else who likes this sort of thang!

I love Bringing Home Baby and Baby Story too! Laurel, Wendy is SO CUTE and has the prettiest blue eyes! I am so looking forward to seeing her (and her mama!) in August!

Eight things about myself ~

I wish I had learned to sew on a machine and type properly in school. Instead I was in all the speech and drama elective classes available. I should have been more practical!

Had I had a "real" career, I would have liked to have been a teacher for the deaf. At church I am mesmerized by the interpreters for our hearing impaired members...

I enjoy writing...journaling events in my life, creating fictional stories...

I confess I am such a regular at Taco Cabana that I think the employees know what I am going to order the moment I walk in!

I have had two extraordinary personal meetings with famous men in my life - both times with my best friend "Charlie" at my side...

Prince Andrew in 1978 in Pensacola, Florida at the Officers' Club and President Bush in West Des Moines, Iowa in 2006. I ask your prayers for Charlie asd she is very ill with brain cancer.

I have a new at-home hobby! Geneology! Lots of fun...like solving a very complex puzzle!

I wish I could have a windfall $$$$ not involving the lottery - and take ALL my family to Japan for an extended tour! (file that under NEVER GONNA HAPPEN)

I may be almost 57 years old but I have not outgrown chocolate!

Ok, I will go, but it is really late so don't expect much...

1-We attended a parenting conference called Sacred Parenting last weekend that was really awesome. I love the book, by Gary Thomas

2-If we had another baby girl I would want to name her Louisa Jo, after my grandma whose middle name was Lou. I am utterly out of boy names, so we can't have any more boys.

3-I love black licorice and black jelly beans. It is actually very convenient because you typically are not fighting anyone for them.

4-My life has been one constant battle with unwanted hair. I pluck at all stoplights and you can tell how much I have gotten out by the state of my eyebrows. Since Ingram has been born, it's gotten pretty ugly.

5-Both my kids have started praying and it is the sweetest thing in the world to my ears. Things I never thanked God for before I had children: radio towers, Ingram's carseat, trees, racecars, Curious George, chipmonks who eat chips, firemen, firemen and firemen. Some sins that need forgiveness: Obey and sharing and pulling hair. Things that need help: Sissy's poo poo problems.

6-I went to Israel all by myself when I was 22 and I now think that is the stupidest thing in the world and if my daughters did that I would kill them.

7-I dyed my hair for years so I never knew what color it was. I finally quit and found I really liked the natural color. One year later, I started to go gray. Irony.

8-When I lived in London I used to walk about a mile to the tube every day and I would often pass an elderly woman walking on the other side of the street and we would smile and wave our umbrellas at each other. And each time I saw her I thought, someday I will be old like her, and I knew that each time she saw me she thought, I was once young like her.
