Within the Lines

Tagged!

I can hardly believe I've been tagged (so much so that I've checked back several times over the last couple weeks to make sure it was real).  Lately I've felt like the worst and most inconsistent blogger ever.  So sorry to anyone who may have been waiting for me to get back at it.  I haven't had the time or inspiration lately.  Anyway, so LakeLady tagged me, and I'm finally responding.

Here are the rules as posted at her blog:

    * Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.

     * Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.

     * Tag 7 random people at the end of your post; include their links.

     * Let each "tagee" know that they've been tagged by leaving comment on their blog.

Okay, here goes, 7 random things:

1)  I always wanted blue eyes (believing myself too blah with brown eyes, brown hair, medium height, medium build).

2) When I left home (a u-pick strawberry farm in the middle of MN) at 20 by taking a job at the Vail, CO, McDonald's, my Mom had to make me go, sending homemade bismarks with me that I ate crying so hard I could hardly see the road.

3) My dreams for my life were bi-polar -- I wanted to get married and have kids, and I wanted to travel the world perpetually without stopping the rest of my life. Therefore, I'm constantly glowingly content and miserably discontent simultaneously. 

4) My stress release is scheduling/organizing.  I just love putting everything in little boxes.

5) I love board meetings.  Can hardly wait to begin meeting with the charitable organization board I'll be joining in January.

6) My creative outlet right now, the only one I take time for, is cooking/baking.  I love it!  I'm making cinnamon bread wreaths for friends for Christmas.

7) I don't like food too smooth, preferring burned toast, hard ice-cream, chunky soup, crunchy cereal, etc.

Well, that's certainly weird enough, probably more than anyone wanted to know.  The only small print I have to add is -- don't email me that I need a counselor.  I'm married to one!

Well, now I have to tag 7 others.  Let's see...

of course, my dear, dear friend at Which End Is Up?

Well, I'm going to have to finish tagging the other 4 next week.  I'm defrosting my freezer, which is dripping and running all over, and it's chore time.  I'm sure the goats are calling.
