Another game of tag!

One of my fellow LMers (Mandi) has tagged me. (For those of you who have been living under a rock, LM is pretty much my "home" on the WWW). Anyhow, here are the rules:

1-Link to your tagger (see above), and also post these rules on your blog. They are right here!

2-Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.


3-Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

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

So, here are my 7 facts:

1. I am having a professional bra fitting next week and I am ecstatic about it!
2. I have never seen The Sound of Music (either the movie or the play)
3. Is anyone else bothered that Dora the Explorer's and Go! Diego! Go!'s mothers let them roam through jungles by themselves?
4. I once saw Tiffany in concert.
5. I do not have a "proven" pelvis (and my OB told me so!)
6. I cannot transfer wet sweaters to the dryer by myself.
7. I always wanted to be a nurse until I realized I could not stand the sight of blood.

Now, I am going to tag: Angie, JenniB, Stephanie, Arlyn, and Susan

I've been tagged

I've been tagged by Wendy to name 10 weird things about myself. So here goes:

10. I have an irrational fear of kidney beans.

9. I cannot stand anything orange flavored (it goes back to when I had to drink way too much Hi-C orange before my first ultrasound with Ian).

8. I have never seen the Sound of Music, but I know quite a few of the songs.

7. I cannot stand to see a tube of toothpaste that has been squeezed in the middle. I will squeeze it from the bottom up until it is "right".

6. I cannot take wet sweaters out of the washing machine. The texture creeps me out.

5. When I play euchre, my partner and I must sit in a fashion that would be perpendicular to the nearest bathtub. I also never put the 4 of the scorekeeping cards on the bottom.

4. I won't sit down at a slot machine that hasn't paid anything.

3. I am extremely frugal except when it comes to scrapbook supplies.

2. I do not like chocolate.

1. I have a very off the wall sense of humor.

I tag Angie, Stephanie, Arlyn, Susan, Alice, Donna and Jen (and anyone else who reads this).
