The Chain Letters of The Internet Generation


O.K., so I have been tagged for a blog award from my lovely sister with the big head. Apparently, being tagged is the equivalent of receiving a chain letter in 1985, or chain text in 2005. You have to comply with the request of the reward, which is in this case is listing ten things nobody knows about you. Then you must "reward" 7 more blog sites. My sister with the big head cheated and tagged me seven times. She was gracious enough to allow me to list only ten things and not all 70. Thanks, Sis!!


1. I have a mortal fear of all things sticky. Honey, syrup, already licked lollipops etc. etc. If I ever find myself in battle and get captured there will be no need for water boarding. Just hold an open bottle of Aunt Jemima over my head and I will sing like a canary.


2. Sometimes as a parent disciplining a child, you say things that make no sense at all. The other day at nap time I told my oldest daughter Nicole... " Do you really want me to get in trouble with Mom because you are too lazy to take a nap?"


3. I tend to be a binge Ice cream eater when I am upset about something. I have also been known to eat an entire watermelon in one sitting. I just cut it in half, grab a spoon and eat each half using the melon itself as a bowl.


4. Speaking of eating, I have a secret dream to be a competitive hot dog eater. Kobayashi here I come!!!!




5. I have tried to play just about every sport known to man, with very little success. Apparently, I chose witty and sarcastic over sporty and athletic. It took my 32 years to find a sport that I'm actually pretty good at, which is running. Anybody want to buy some once used hockey equipment? How bout soccer, football, fencing, or badminton?


6. I have the grossest toenail in the world. It is so large and green it makes the Grinch look like he just had a pedicure.



7. I am currently reading three books:


An American Life - by Ronald Reagan

Think - Simon Blackburn


screamfree PARENTING Hal Runkel, LMFT


8. I am not particularly religious anymore, but I say a silent prayer every night before I go to sleep, and first thing in the morning, thanking God for the four perfect angels that he has put in my trust. I pray for strength above my own to protect and care for them. Through them, I find peace in Jesus.


9. Movie that I quote all the time, but have never really seen... Scarface


10. I have no problem watching High School Musical with the girls. I actually enjoy it.. they are Delightful!

I choose to put an end to this "chain award", but I would like to invite anyone who leaves a comment on this blog to list something about them that nobody knows.
