I'm pretty good at dodge ball, but obviously suck at playing tag...

tag

as in

"tell us 7 things about yourself

because

I just acknowledged you as someone who inspires me

and

just shared 7 things about myself

on my blog

and

now it's your turn

to do the same on your blog"

~~

many of you have hugged me and patted me on the back

reassuring me that what I do here is worthy and I have failed to say thank you

by playing along and I'm here to apologize

and

to finally play

~~

1. it's been so cold here in wisconsin, that when I see people waiting at the bus stop, I wish I could stop and pick them and take them where they need to go.

~~

2. I like to give big tips at restaurants, thinking that often, our waitress is probably a single mom working 3 jobs and that what I leave behind could make a difference in her life.

~~

3. although I love the little things in life, it's also the little things that drive me nuts. for example, yesterday I wanted to buy a pair of socks, but the ones that I wanted were in a 3-pack and the other two pairs were awful. I didn't buy them.

~~

4. in high school I was a varsity boys basketball cheerleader and was also on the track team. I held the school record for the 400 for 3 years until some little snit came along and broke it. the little snit was my cousin.

~~

5. it seems that the hair on my legs doesn't grow nearly as fast in the winter months as it does during the summer.

~~

6. I've been working in my journal and love to paint and create the pages, but hate to write on them when they're finished...which pretty much makes my journal a book of artwork instead of a journal filled with thoughts and dreams and upsets and desires and secrets.

~~

7. I have a hard time giving my full attention to people or things or ideas. my family jokes that's it's my adult a.d.d. and I often think it's not a joke, that it probably really is that and that I even had it as a child, but they didn't have a name for it back then.

~~

and

in the true name of tag

I'm supposed to tag 7 more people to play this game

but

since I don't want to hurt any feelings

you're all

it

::

so thank you

and

you and you and you

for being part of my blogging life

and

thinking highly enough of me

to let me be part of yours

by awarding me the kreativ blogger and scrap honest awards

and

to those of you I forgot

I am so sorry
