This Tag Thing

Aunt Jo tagged me. That's cool, but the problem is my limited circle of friends, which is even more limited when it comes to those who blog! So, I'll tag Schnauzermom seven times. :P Maybe I can find Ala's blog and tag her. All other blogs I read are on members-only sites.

Here are the rules, cut & pasted from Aunt Jo's Corner:

These are the RULES: Link to the person that tagged you. Which I did. Post the rules on your blog. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

The next challenge is finding seven little known but interesting things about me. Hmmmm...

1. I used to chase trains. When my little brother was about 8, which made me 18, we'd jump in my car (a 1972 green Ford Maverick) and race down to the railroad tracks whenever we heard a train coming through town. I had an instamatic camera and would stand in the middle of the tracks with it shooting pictures of the train until it got too close to be safe. After the train passed, we'd climb back in the car and race out of town, passing the train, to find a spot to wait for it again. We did this all summer long.

2. I would love to have a house that's completely off the grid. Independent of all utility companies & completely self-sustaining.

3. I love the smell of new vinyl. Open a new shower curtain package and I'll hyperventilate from inhaling its aroma.

4. I love to ride horses. When we came to the farm 10 years ago, hubby promised me a horse. So far, all we have are dogs and cats. Lots and lots of cats. But that's OK. Horses can't curl up in your lap.

5. I flunked an intro to legal assisting class. My boss kept scheduling me to work on my school night, and I never dropped the class when I got too far behind. It's the only F I've ever made. Well, except for the semester I stopped gong to ECU and didn't withdraw from there, either.

6. When I was about 5 years old, I can remember standing next to my mother who was engrossed in conversation after church one Sunday night. I tried and tried to tell her I needed to have a potty break, but she kept waving me off, telling me to stop bothering her. I finally couldn't take it any longer so I just let it go. I can still see that river of pee streaming down the aisle in the sanctuary.

7. I have a very large tattoo of a black swallowtail on my lower back. It's really cool.


OK, now I have to find people to tag. This is the tough part!

1. Schnauzermom! Tag! You're it!
