Helen at a Work of Heart tagged me to list seven random facts about myself. Hmmmm.
1. Popcorn is my favorite food. (although I'm currently attempting Phase one of South Beach, so I'm on the wagon...)
2. Office supply stores and book stores are at the top of the my shopping pleasures. Pens and papers and journals and organizational gizmos and post it notes and patterned file folders and ...
3. I once sang a solo in the Notre Dame in Paris as well as in the Vatican on Easter Sunday. (just a little solo...I was there with a choir)
4. Zinnia are my favorite flowers. And lilacs.
5. I have this new fondness for Nescafe decaf instant coffee granules. That's wierd for a Starbucks girl...
6. I've taken a long nap in the back of a hearse -- on an air mattress on the marble slab -- while traveling back from out of state where I had attended the burial. Yes, really. (You're right...that WOULD make an interesting posting...)
7. I was going major in commercial art after high school. My dad talked me out of it, and now I am a CPA. Hmmmm.
I will tag Diane, Vickie, and Rachel Anne

Random fact #1: I am HORRIBLE at memes! I love reading other peoples but I don't have a very good track record completing them....
ReplyDeleteBUT, I am honored that you have thought of me and I will start thinking of my random things. Hmmm. This is fun! I'll have to try the instant coffee granules. Can you just eat them dry with a spoon if you're desperate??
Well, you're always a step ahead of me -- I didn't know this was called a "meme." Is that a real word or a blog word? Will it work in Scrabble?
ReplyDeleteWow...just looked it up at dictionary.com and this is the definition: An idea considered as a replicator, esp. with the connotation that memes parasitize people into propagating them much as viruses do.
WHEW. So sorry to parasitize you! Ha!
If you're gonna crunch coffee granules, you might want to skip the decaf part.
My mom used to dissolve them in half an inch of boiling water and add milk or a vanilla instant breakfast. Thirty years ago my mom was making lattes. What a woman. (the coffee instant breakfasts were good!)
Thanks for doing this...you are hoot!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband still has a thing for Maxwell House because his mom always drank it...oh the things that evoke memories...
Hey Gracie,
ReplyDeleteI have not had a chance to do the meme but I have printed it out and am trying to write it up. Hopefully I will be able to post it in a day or so. I have always wanted to be tagged for one of these things! Thanks so much!!!
Blessings,
Vickie
