Life on the Road

Lori from The Simple Life at Home tagged me for this (and blessed me with the accompanying award).  Thanks, Lori!

Then I was for a nearly identical meme by Mylinda at The Buggy Crew!  Small world, this infinite internet universe…

Here are the RULES:

• Link to the person that tagged you.
• 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.

And, just because it was so funny, I’m including Lori’s vow that she made you take when reading the post.  I guess at this point it’s quickly bcoming a legacy of the “7 Random Things” meme!  ;) 

Before I get started, everyone raise your right hand and repeat after me:

I, ________, solemnly swear to not laugh at, be shocked by, nor hold against Tiffany, any of the below stated facts. I promise to continue to visit and support her despite any awkward vibes I may feel after reading her facts. I will not remove her from my Google Reader as a way of punishing her for her random weirdness.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here are 7 weird and/or random facts about me:

1.  I was horse-crazy as a pre-teen.  Not all that uncommon in girls, as I understand it, but hey - you didn’t know that about me until just now, did you?

2.  I love playing computer “RPG” games.  Might & Magic, that type of thing.  I even like playing Dungeons & Dragons, but that requires a bunch of people to coordinate their schedules.  Blah!

3.  My middle name is Susan, which is my mom’s name.  Dad wanted to name me Susan, but Mom was opposed to the confusion that that would cause, so this was their compromise.

4.  I am really, really shy.  No, really.  I’m pretty good at faking it, so even most people who know me casually would never guess.

5.  I have six cats.  Two are ancient (about 15 years old), and four are babes (6 months old).  How did that happen?  I dunno, really, but the kitten story is around here somewhere…

Wow, this is harder than I thought…

6.  I spent most of my adult life essentially never wearing skirts.  Now I only wear skirts.  When they say, “The Lord works in mysterious ways,” who knew they meant stuff like that?

7.  One of my favorite things to look back on and chuckle about, which is totally representative of me, is the time I got a moving company to give me a binding quote for a move.  It took them about 1.5 times as long to move me as they’d anticipated, so they took a bath on the cost.  You see, they looked and saw a 2 bedroom apartment without too much furniture.  What they failed to realize was that I had (and have) bookcases all over the place, and rather than a handful of knick-knacks and houseplants, they are actually packed full of…  yeah…  books. 

Imagine my surprise when I was also tagged for this meme:

By Ecclectically Yours!

So, those of you I’m about to tag, you may consider yourself both “An Amazing Blogger” and also “Loved” … and as far as I’m concerned you can pick one or the other to do. 

I’m not sure which of these have made itto my Blogroll, which I don’t update much, so hopefully you can all find a new friend in this list as well:
