On Monday, Pamela at Feral Homemaking tagged me!
So, tag, I'm it!
As I want to keep the game rolling, but have been under time constraints this week, I will break my end of the game into 2 parts, the first half for today and the second half for next week.
Here are the rules of the game, as listed in Pamela's post:
"link back to who tagged you, post eleven random facts about yourself, answer their eleven questions, ask eleven new questions, and tag other bloggers with 200 or fewer followers (post on their blogs to let them know). The original rules called for people to tag 11 bloggers with fewer than 200 followers, but like Pamela, I will do a greatly reduced amount."
Okay, so for my 11 random facts about myself.
1) When I was a teenager, I was a Candy-striper at our local hospital. My two departments were Peds and Geriatrics, and I don't really know which I loved most!
2) I adore fashions from the 1940s.
3) The bath tub is my think tank. When I've got something on my mind, I head for a long soak.
4) I love cats, but I'm terribly allergic. And I'm partial to black cats, or mostly black with white paws.
5) I became interested in gardening when I was about 9 years old, and my best friend's mom let us plant things from her kitchen in a small strip of dirt in the side yard. Popcorn and avocados performed the best.
6) I'm a middle child. Supposedly that means I'm secretive. Shhhh, don't tell anyone!
7) When the weather is bad outside, I jog on an indoor "track" in my house (a loop between the kitchen, family room and hall).
8) I eat tomatoes like most people eat apples or peaches, just right out of hand.
9) When I was a girl, I had a pet mouse named Rainbow. Rainbow used to squeeze through the bars on his cage regularly, and I remember my mom often coming into my room late at night with a flashlight, looking under my bed, in the closet and behind the dresser for Rainbow.
10) I'm quite good at climbing trees, for an old gal!
11) My dream vacation would either be to Ireland or a river cruise through eastern Europe.
So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed reading some odd things about me!
