I have been Tagged?!?

Shanan, I am not sure how you get me into these things. You started this blogging thing. My biggest worry about this activity is that I don't know seven people who blog. I may need modifications (shortened assignment or something). Thanks http://footballfamilyof4.blogspot.com/ for tagging me.

Things about me:

1. I read cookbooks. I usually have one on my nightstand. I know it is weird, but that's the point right.

2. I love old movies. Thrillers like Hitchcock's Read Window or Marnie. Musicals like Seven Brides for Seven Brides and Kiss Me Kate. I use to watch them in college when I had a big drafting project due. I would rent movies, set up the drafting board, and watch/listen while I worked all weekend.

3. I was a flag girl in high school. How much detail do you need here? I wore a big black strange hat and a polyester skirt, shirt and vest. But hey! It was better than the regular band uniform. That hat was a big white fluffy cylinder with a chin strap. It was no contest!

4. I am a neat freak at work/school, but a mess at home. My locker at school was the neatest one of all. My book covers and folders were color coordinated and organized by the day's schedule. My sister would scream when we came home from school because I dropped all my things just inside the door. Well, times have changed and again they have stayed the same. I am still very organized at work/school. When I first married I worked very hard and was able to keep up with my husband. But now, I can not keep up. (My husband is a messy. Shh! Don't tell anyone.) It takes me too long to pick up the stuff to be able to clean that I usually run out of time before the cleaning actually begins.

5. I wanted black and white wedding photos. I never told anyone because I knew my mom would lose it. I also wanted pale green celedon bridesmaid's dresses. But I opted for the more traditional colored photos and deep purple dresses. It was very colorful, even without my original day dreams. Cleveland never would have approved the other stuff either.

6. I got pregnant really easy! Most people thought that Cleveland and I could not get pregnant after we got married. Truth is we did not try. We worried about my health and the health of a possible baby. We finally decided that if God choose to bless us with a baby, we would happily have one. We went off birth control and were pregnant with a couple of months. It was God's timing. All of my girlfriends were pregnant at the same time. Those little blessing allow our only child to experience children her own age. We're not family, but very close.

7. I have a Fine Art degree. Most people who know me now as a teacher. But I went to TWU in Denton for too many years and finally graduated with a degree in Fine Arts/Interior Design. But that was in the early 1990's. You could not buy a job in interior design those days. Most of my friends were working as receptionists in design firms. How I became a teacher is another story for later.

The end of the list!! That was hard. But now who will I tag? Not seven, I have modifications remember. I only know two others who are blogging other than Shanan since my other friends will not jump on this wagon.
