tag!

Yes, it's true. I have been tagged and that means YOU my dear friends must endure some trivial information about me once again. Sweet Jules from Jules Stones has prompted me to share 7 random things about myself and then guess what? That's right...to pick 7 of YOU to do the same thing! So here goes...and yes, some of these things may have been revealed at other times, so just read through them quickly and you'll never know the difference...

The Rules of the Tag Game:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.


1) I am a non-traditional student in the fact that I have returned to college to earn my degree and teaching credential...yes, at the age of 44 I finally figured out what I want to be when I grow up~

2) I have a huge soft spot for animals. I always cry during movies when they die or get injured...I even cried while watching Free Willy!

3) When I was about three I had my right ear bitten off by a dog and the reconstruction surgery left me with a slightly pointed ear, hardly noticeable now that I am an adult~

4) I have a pierced nose, something much more common in California I'm sure~

5) My favorite places to hang out, other than the garden at my home or around the table at a friend's house, are book stores, coffee shops (of the non-Starbuck's type), and antique stores~

6) I am not a picky eater. I like all foods and will try anything new, although my favorites are garden-fresh vegetables organically grown and I rarely eat red meat~

7) My favorite number is 2, because one is never enough and three is usually too many. I have found this to apply to most things, especially chocolate chip cookies!


Now for the people I have chosen to tag...

It's always interesting to learn new things about each other, so have fun coming up with SEVEN things to share and if you do not want to participate, no worries...the sky won't fall, life will go on, and gas prices will still probably get to $5.00/gallon.

Joni...it amazes me you have such a love for animals after the terror at age 3, but I'm glad you do. They love you for it!

Do you remember the movie "Born Free" with Elsa and the cubs? I cried more at that movie than any other one...

Congratulations on going back to college...no matter what age...wonderful!

I will attempt doing the Tag :)
Thanks for thinking of me AGAIN!!

Hi Joni,
Thanks for the tag. This will be fun. I loved the movie "Born Free" too, Debbie.

OK, I'll put on my thinking cap.

Sending you love, Nita

How fun! Thank you for sharing. Bravo for you in going back to school. I still don't know what I want ot be either at 37 so I totally understand.
you had your ear bitten off?! And yet you completely love animals. Your parents msut have been so wonderful to nurse you through any residual fears.
I really like your rule for 2. If you don't mind I think I just may adopt it for myself.

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments on my cake, yes it was delicious and my son, yes he is a wonderful son and lives to serve God. He actually got some good news today that may let him go to school full time and complete seminary sooner.

The "7 things about you is really so fun "!

Thanks for the birthday wish Joni.
Hugs
God Bless You
