Tagged

My fellow sewa and celebrity voice of PR, MaryT, tagged me! I found out tonight as I chanced a visit to her lovely blog. Thanks, Mary. I enjoyed reading more about you, The SouthernSewa, and I agree this is a great way to network.

The rules:
1) someone tags you,
2) you post five things about yourself that you haven’t already mentioned on your blog,
3) you tag 5 people you’d like to know more about

1) I was the oldest of two and raised by a single mom. She passed away 4.5 years ago from leukemia after the transplant didn't work. I still want to pick up the phone and call her everytime something goes right or wrong in life. When she passed, I asked God for a sign that she is ok and a trumpet soloist played "Exodus" at church the following Sunday. She always played that piece on the piano I now own. A pivotal moment in my life! Oh, yeah, she would break out in a sweat over her upper lip if she ever ate chocolate so I hope she is enjoying all the chocolate she wants in heaven! I Love You Nonny.

2) I took a computer programming class in the 8th grade and LOVED it. It wasn't cool though, and I was the only girl who wanted to know more. I buried that deep down and didn't realize it was my thing until college. I went for cheerleading and fashion in high school but wish that I had studied computers instead. How much further ahead would I be now?

3) When I was in college I would stock my shelves with beans to make it look full. All kinds of beans! I got over that and have varied my shopping habits but I sure know how to pull together all kinds of soups, stews and salads that involve beans.

4) I had big hair in the 80's. Now I wear my hair straight and flat and can't stand it when it touches my face. I hate to have anything touch my face. But then again, I would hate to go back to my high school hairstyle, so whatcha gonna do?

5) I am a single mom to 2 wonderful boys and that's okay. I haven't found the right guy yet, but if you know him please send him my way. He should be optimistic, cultured, accomplished, thoughtful, reliable, forward thinking, a conversationalist, and symphony ready. I actually had a guy just like this once and lost him. No... make that twice. Stupid girl am I. Maybe there is only one out there that fits this description but you never know :)

Now I get to think up 5 bloggin friends. Let's see...this is hard because it looks like everyone's been tagged already and some people twice. So, I'm tagging everyone who's reading this entry. Name 3-5 things about yourself!
