…I'm tagged and it
Tiff tagged me. She’s my shoulda, coulda, woulda friend. I shoulda got to know her, I coulda but I didn’t, and I woulda had I known how cool she was. Anyway, here is my assignment.
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you.
1. I was born at home. Not by choice.
2. I am easily distracted, not always by shiny things, I once put on a tablecloth half way, then got distracted.
3. I am 98% in love with my kitchen.
4. I am trying to find the joy in the everyday. I want to REALLY love cleaning the bathroom. I am nowhere near.
5. I love to laugh til it hurts.
6. Karma is funny, although I don’t believe in it.
7. I love Las Vegas in the middle of July. It’s so hot and wonderful.
8. One day I would like to open a restaurant that seats about 20 and only have one or two sittings per meal.
9. I have learned that Flax Seed Oil is a great mood stabilizer.
10. I hate all things foster care. I’ve been a foster parent for 6 years. I will probably do it the rest of my life.
11. I moved in with my husband before we were married, and while I was married to my first husband. I have three biological children by three different men. Two outside of marriage. I am saved by Grace.
12. I have great ideas, for many years I feared they may be dorky, so I kept them to myself. I no longer care what anyone thinks.
13. I cannot for the life of me scrap book so I get tattoos.
14. Coke, big C, is the best man made product on the planet.
15. I love burnt offerings, or bbq as we call it these days. The fragrance is indeed pleasing.
16. I have stopped following recipes. I go with feel and smell to know if it’s right. Except with the basketball bread, that is weighed and measured so as not to ruin its perfection.
I tag you and you HAVE TO leave a comment with at least one random fact about yourself. No excuses, I have sitemeter, I will hunt you down and NOT comment on your blog. Cause that’s how I roll.
An added bonus – here are Tiff’s answers.

Post the recipe for basketball bread! I must try it. One random thought about me: I don’t mind winning or losing, ’cause I just like feeling any emotion other than “blah.”

I have my nose pierced, my belly button pierced, and my ears pierced six times, all while playing the part of the conservative homeschool mom. I loved your list, Annie. You are my favorite kind of girl.

A few facts about me:
1 I recently adopted my beautiful 2 year old daughter who was with me as a foster child from the age of 3 weeks!!
2 My sister and I make a freakishly good pictionary team.
3 As a child, I had an irrational fear of letting out the bath water. I still don’t like the gurgling sound…

I love reading your blog. Since I have no clue what you look like I have to paint my own picture and it just happens to look like my best friend in WA. She has green eyes, tons of tattoos, and is awesome…. I hope I’m close
Random facts about me: I also have 3 bio kids (all girls). They’re all from him though and we had our 1st when I was 17. Ummm… Oh, my wedding ring is also a tattoo. And my coffee pot is almost always on because we drink it all day long.

I am a preschool educator who knows that imaginative play is important to children. I however detest it. I do not want kids pretending to be anything.
The kids I watch everyday want to be dogs or babies on a daily basis. I make them go to the office/playroom to do it.
I consider that to be my weird fact.
Also, I am like you in that I don\’t require much to be happy. Just a Dr Pepper. Every morning. Or I get crabby.
