Apparently there’s a little thing going around called tag. And I just got tagged by Zendictive! And when you get tagged you have to:
Describe yourself in seven words:
Quiet
(People often describe me as quiet which is weird because I feel so noisy in my head!)
Brave
(Except when it comes to snakes and changing lanes on a busy freeway or the scariest scenario of all: snakes on a freeway.)
Honest
(Ok, I have been known to withhold the truth when it comes to certain things like maybe how much I didn’t need or want the Christmas presents that 37 gives me sometimes — or maybe I’ll fib to my kids that getting your wisdom teeth pulled is fun! But other than that I would describe myself as honest. Honest!
Good Listener
(Well, sometimes I must admit I will check out temporarily when 37 is explaining something. But I’m always sure to check back in before he finishes so I can get the gist and comment appropriately. (Note to self: Make sure 37 does not read this post!)
Clean, Considerate and Clairvoyant
(I take two showers a day (not in succession though). I also try to be pleasant and polite. And I have had several dreams predicting the future. Unfortunately the things I predict are of very little importance like I’m going to get a new doorknob or I’m going to rearrange my spices.)
The other thing you have to do when you get tagged is answer these questions:
What keeps you up at night?
Currently practically nothing. Now that the kids are grown and living far enough away so I have no idea what they are up to; I pretty much sleep like a baby!
Who would you like to be?
Lois Lane
What are you wearing right now?
Jeans, long-sleeved t-shirt, no shoes and a hat with an arrow through it. (ok, the hat part is just wishful thinking.)
What scares you?
Hands down it’s snakes. I could scream bloody murder right now just thinking about them!
The best and worst of blogging.
The best thing about blogging is getting to do what I love (write) and hang out with bloggers who are wise, witty and fun as all get out! The worst is falling behind in my reading thus missing something wonderful that everybody is talking about and I’m like, huh?
The last website I visited.
What is the one thing you would change about yourself?
I’d like to remove all limited thinking.
Slankets yes or no?
No slankets, sounds like a type of snake!
Tell us something about the person who tagged you.
What do I know about the man behind the Zendictive blog? His name is Art, and he’s a martial artist who is also a correctional officer. He is a tireless warrior when it comes to lighting up his corner of the world with inspiring stories that not only make you think, but that you find yourself telling your family and friends about. Art is the pebble in the pond that spreads beautiful ripples far and wide! He is a treasure!
HA! While you guys were busy reading above guess what? I TAGGED YOU!
YOU’RE IT! Nanny Nanny Nanny!
The Poet’s Crafts/The Olding Poet
Have Fun!
Until next time . . . I love you
I like your predictions, they’re very practical, very useful, really. Not like those boring predictions that give you the winning lottery numbers or tell you where the missing child is buried.
Your shoe photo caused thoughts of you as a clone of a post I wrote, “Stepping in Style”, showing high fashioned, red and purple shoes as an illustration.
Ronnie
Ha ha! You’re right. Winning the lottery is all well and good but knowing when you are going to get a new doorknob is priceless!
If there were snakes on a freeway, couldn’t you just run them over? I think the only safer thing would be snakes in a blender.
But that’s just me…
Congratulations, Linda! And great answers!
Oh I guess I could huh. Well there goes that movie concept down the toilet! The trouble with snakes in a blender is that you would have to bring them into the house first. Yikes!
The main thing you revealed about yourself in this post is that you can find humor in almost any task. Great fun!
Ronnie
Oh, thank you Ronnie. How sweet of you to say that!
Thank you for my nomination…I think…haha I always look forward to your funny posts….snakes alive!! my best to you and the engineer!…tom
Your welcome Thomas. I always look forward to yours too!
Great fun to read. Congrats on being tagged.
Thank you Lorrelee. And thank you for reading and commenting. I appreciate it!
Great post!!
I didn’t seem to inherent your fear of snakes. When working as an intern at the zoo I used to have help put the giant boa constrictor back in it’s habitat (it took about 6 of us) and would often show snakes to the school groups. It’s bugs I can’t handle!
I forgot all about that! That’s right! Well, big ol’ snakes that would kill you slowly don’t really scare me at all. It’s the slithering and the quickness and the biting that I’m arfraid of. Bugs have never bother me much excpet the ones we had in Newark, but I got used to them (sort of). And I kind of like spiders as you know.
Of the attributes you list, the rarest and most valuable (in my opinion) is “good listener.” Keep it up!
What a nice thing to say. Thank you so much!
Ummmmmm I like tag – did I miss the game and why am I not getting emails oh i cant believe I have missed all the fun and you probably thought i dont come around anymore – oh you didnt think that did you??? Im gonna cry I thought I was out of the woods getting out of the spam box – but this is worse….
On a good note thanks for the tag – I will get going on that and I am so sorry – thanks bbff
Your welcome!
Linda, I gratefully and respectfully accept your tag and will be working on moving that along…. someday soon, I hope, when time allows, when life is not getting in the way and well I think you know where I’m coming from and where I’m not going. Oh, never mind. None of this makes any sense, excet that I am grateful. Thanks. Oh, and you’re the bee’s knees, tiny little bee’s knees, or maybe its the cat’s meow. Really, I’ve got to get going.
Hahaha! I second that . . . I think!
