I've been tagged!!!!!! Posted in Daily Musings
My friend, Pam, over at On any given day ..., has tagged me - this was a few days ago, but with us being busy with our new school year ... well, I am just getting around to doing it, lol.
1. Post rules before we give you the facts.
2. Start with eight random facts/habits.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their 8 things and post these rules.
4. At the end of the blog, you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names. Leave them a comment to tell them they are tagged.
So, here it goes:
- since Josh has gone Gluten Free, I hardly do any baking (I think in the back of my mind I'm worried about wasting the G.F. stuff we have if it doesn't turn out, lol).
- I have a nasty habit of cracking my knuckles - used to drive Pam insane, but I think she is getting used to it (either that or she is just ignoring it now, lol).
- leaving a mistake in something that I knit (especially when it is a gift for someone) drives me bonkers.
- I have stashes of yarn all around the main parts of the house - you never know when you might need some, right???????
- I love collecting knitting patterns - don't always make them, but love collecting them (the Internet is a wonderful place to find loads of free patterns, lol)
- I have trouble saying 'No' to my family (worried about letting them down, I guess).
- after three years with the same school board and facilitator, we have switched to a new school board and a new facilitator.
- my husband teases me by telling me that we have so many movies that we could open our own video store, lol.
I'm kind of tired right now and can't really think of anyone to tag, lol. So, if you want to participate .... consider yourself tagged, lol.

***IMPORTANT***: you need a percolator style coffee pot to make this.
DO NOT use a drip style coffee maker to make this syrup!!!!!
* Make one pot of coffee, then discard the grounds.
* Add fresh grounds, percolate again, with the coffee as liquid, not fresh water.
* Do this three times.
* To the finished coffee mixture, add one half the amount of sugar (if you end up with 3 cups coffee mixture, add 1 1/2 cups sugar).
* Mix until sugar is completely dissolved.
* To use: add 2 - 3 tablespoons of syrup to a 10 oz glass of milk, stir to mix and enjoy.
