I’m It!!!

Feb 6, 2012

I am finally getting around to doing something that I should have done a week ago!!!  My friend, Hilary, over at Feeling Beachie tagged me in a meme last week and I am just now getting to doing it!  She answered her questions from both her and her kitty, Alex’s, viewpoint but with two kitties in our household I decided I could not be that creative.  Plus Buddy is recovering still from his chylothorax and is not in his best form to be answering questions so I am going to answer just on my own.  It won’t be nearly as exciting but bear with me.

1. Describe yourself in 7 words   Sincere, compassionate, generous, loyal, loving, enthusiastic, Christian.

2. What keeps you up at night?     Up until recently it was my brother in law, Carlton, enjoying his late night favorite tv shows and talking along with the dialogue verbatim.  Then when he moved out it was the weird house sounds of hot water heat going through the pipes and screeching of air in the lines along with other unidentified sounds.  Now that I am back in our home in Iowa it will be the sound of trains…..but I can deal with that.   

3.Who would I like to be?  You know something?  I do not really want to be anyone different than who I am right now!  That is a pretty great place to be—happy and content with who I am.  

4. What am I wearing now? I should have waited to answer this until I was dressed up.  But it is my day of chilling  outand I am wearing a black velour sweatsuit with a black and white striped turtleneck only because I have not unpacked my suitcases yet from moving back into the house.  My boys would make fun of it but it is comfy and just perfect for today.

5. What scares me?  Having a house fire and not being able to get all of us out in time.

6. The best and worst of blogging  The best is by far meeting all of the fabulous friends that I have met through blogging and being able to do Comments for a Cause.  The worst is when I write a particularly fabulous post and feel like folks did not read it, did not get it, did not understand it or did not care. 

7. The last website I visited  http://www.antiquekeys.net/keygroups.html   I was trying to help my sister figure out a way to celebrate something at her church and she had the idea of using keys in it so I was searching for sources for old keys.  Weird, I know.  Before that I was checking out http://www.mrchewy.com/ because Alex had recommended it!

8. What is the one thing I would change about myself? Probably my desire to always please everyone regardless of the consequence.

9. Slankets:  yes or no?  Nope–Slanket or Snuggli have yet to enter my house although we have a plethora of blankets.

10. Tell us something about the person that tagged you.    Hilary is fabulous!!! I met her through some random blog hop, I think, and have become a regular visitor to her blog.  Her kitty, Alex, had a bit of a trauma in the last year and her father in law also passed away this last year so we have shared a lot in common and she has been such a support through all of my “trials”.  We also lived on the beach like she and her husband do so we have that in common also.  Hilary is a hard worker and loves. loves LOVES shoes.   She has a great blog and I love to do her Friday Fill In’s every week that I am able.  She is generous and always can be counted on for support just when you need it!

So there you go!  I am supposed to pass this along to others so I am going to tag some folks.   If you want to do it—please do.  If not—no worries!!!  I totally understand how time intensive blogging can be and to accept awards and do things like this add to the time.  I wanted to tag a billion but kept it to only 8….visit all of them–they are all wonderful people with great blogs!
