Tag

Here are the rules. 1)Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. (2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. (4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I'm taller than my sister. We could wear the same size shoe for a few months back around 1985, but then I outgrew her. She hasn't tried to beat me up since.

2. If I pull my hair back and don't have my contacts in yet - when I glance in the mirror, I see a glimpse of my dad. Because I really look like him sometimes! It's weird.

3. I like Ikea. I guess my house is not as typical as most, or that's the impression I get from a lot of people. I do like to be different every once in a while. I really like my house.

4. My newest favorite food is risotto. I had my first taste of it in Como, Italy. Our first night in Italy, we ate at the hotel with our tour group. The first course was the yummy risotto. I don't remember much else, but after dinner we roamed around Como. Of course, on the way back, we had to find an ATM so we'd have euros to buy our first Italian GELATO!!! For my birthday, I got a cookbook called Risotto, so I've experimented with making it and I love it. Now if I could just find some gelato.....

5. If I could go anywhere for a vacation, I'd go to Lucerne, Switzerland. And then I'd go to Scotland and Ireland. And then, an Alaskan cruise with lots of expensive excursions (obviously I'm not paying for this!), and hop over to Hawaii. I'd get a convertible rental car and drive around the island, then fly over to all the other islands. I'd hike, sit on the beach and read, and just wonder at the beauty God created. And while I'm at it, I'd just fly to Iceland, wander around the Mediterrean, then take a trans-Atlantic cruise, end up in New York, where I'd spend a few weeks walking around, seeing the sights, before taking a train back home.

6. While I look like my Dad, I have my mother's feet. And at times, my Grandmother's temperment and bossiness. Other times, I have my Pa-Pa's quietness. And, Laura, Mom and I sound a lot alike on the phone. Just ask John.

7. I'm still wondering why Lara didn't tag me on the previous tag. Maybe it's because I'd have had to make up all the answers about my husband? Hmm. That might be interesting.....

8. And finally, if I could change one thing I'd done....I wouldn't have hit Laura with that baseball bat. Although I didn't get near as close to her head as she'd like you to believe!

I'm going to tag Lara, Bob, Elissa (I know you're reading).
