Tag - You're It!!

My blogging buddy Justine recently tagged me in a fun game of "Tag - You're It!!" This is kind of a long post, so take a minute to pour a cup of coffee or a glass of sweet tea, grab a comfy seat, and learn some new things about me! First things first, though...

Here Are The Rules:
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 (this might be hard)  5. Go to their blog and tell them that you've tagged them.

So, here goes...11 random things about me:


1.) I dream of someday living in the country again...wide open spaces, quiet sunrises and sunsets, starry night skies, watching fireflies blink in a pasture at night, sipping sweet tea while sitting on a porch swing with my sweetie, listening to frogs croaking on a nearby pond...there's NOTHING like the country life!

2.) I love being at home, and I am never bored there! I always have at least one project that I am working on to occupy my time.


3.) My parents recently gave me a piano, and I am looking forward to beginning piano lessons in the near future! (Thanks, Mom and Dad!!)

4.) I am not gifted at all when it comes to programming electronics, such as DVD players, VCRs, etc. Actually, I am really lousy at it!!


5.) I used to be an avid cross-stitcher, and even won the blue ribbon several years ago at the county fair on one of my projects!

6.) I LOVE to organize things - really!! - it makes me happy to see things all neat and tidy in bins, baskets and cubbies; labeled and in alphabetical order! Ahhh - such simple joy - ha! ha!

7.) I am only 5'2" tall...but I have always wished that I could be 5'7" tall! I'd looooove to have long legs! (Note: my hubby is 6'4" and my son is 6'3" - so I look like such a shortie standing next to them unless I wear heels!)

8.) I have a goal to lose 10 lbs. by my birthday in May...which means losing 1 lb. a week for 10 weeks.


9.) I would like to learn to speak Italian, and then travel to Italy someday.

10.) I enjoy reading/studying WWII history. (Yes, I learned to embrace my "inner nerdom" a long, long time ago - LOL!)


11.) If my son ever has a daughter, I would like for him to name her Molly - that way I would have my very own "Unsinkable Molly Brown" - hee! hee! (Justin is NOT keen on this idea at all, so my chances of having my very own "Unsinkable Molly Brown" are slim to none - RATS!)
