4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

5. Present an image of martial discord from whatever period or situation you’d like.

1.  I won’t because she will be by to read shortly.  KC’s reliable like that.

2.  Random facts about me…

  1. I was a religion major when I got pregnant “out of wedlock”.
  2. People say I’m an extrovert but actually I see myself as shy and afraid of being around people I don’t know, so I just try to get to know them as quickly as possible so I won’t feel so awkward.
  3. I have a grid shaped scar on my right leg from falling on a hot floor heating grate as a child.  I had just escaped my mother after a bath, so I was wet still when I fell on it.  Can you hear a sizzle?
  4. I originally wanted to be an archaeologist until I found out they often work in hot dirty areas and then I decided I didn’t need to be an archaeologist.
  5. I can dream of spreadsheets and then go to work and design them to work perfectly.
  6. I truly believe I have a ghost or two in my house.  We seem to live together ok so I think she is ok with me living in her house.
  7. I can’t reach around my back and snap or unsnap my bra.  It isn’t my size, I have been like this always.

3.  If you have a link to your blog on the right side of my screen, consider yourself tagged.

4.  I’ll think about it.

Because you are the greatest

30 04 2008

Instructions and NO CHEATING

1.  Do not read the comments here until you have done #2. 

2.  Repost on your own blog, answer with your own answers in your comments and then call someone out.  You then will also answer the questions for the person you call out in your comment.  If that person will answer your call out, you can then see if you know that person as well as you think you do.

3.  Then come back and copy & paste your answers in the comments in my blog to see how close I was in the answers. 

 

On to the poll questions…

1.  Because of your glaring intelligence, you have been asked to write two books on two very different subjects, of which you are an absolute authority on.  What are those two subjects (and they must be on two very different subjects)?

2.  Again because everyone is so in awe of your incredible intelligence, the country decided instead of having the mess of primaries, debates and elections, we would let you decide the next President.  You can chose anyone who meets the qualifications as laid out by the Constitution.  Who do you pick?

3.  You are the fashion guru everyone needs help from.  What is the one fashion law you would make it a crime to break?

4.  Without your help, our children and future generations are doomed.  Besides the two books you wrote for question # 1, what other two books would you make required reading for every child?

5.  As a sign of your supreme generousity, you get to pick one item that will be forever free to all consumers.  What is it?

 Ok I call out Sportzmom.
