Monday's Musings on Blogging

  • Those who never blog--will never understand!
  • Blogging with a cup of coffee is a good start for every day!
  • What did I do before I started blogging!
  • Blogging provides a global network of resources, experience, and just plain fun people!
  • Meme's are good ways to get to know one another (I've been tagged by Cindy)

Accent: I'm from Minne-sooooooo-ta, regularly make hot dishes, and say "Pop" instead of "soda." However, unlike the movie, Fargo, I do not own a woodchipper!

Best personality trait: Just like a golden retriever, I'm loyal! *(However, unlike "Fido", if my hubby scratches my tummy in just the right place....I'm just as likely to bite as I am to kick my leg!!!!)

Chore I hate to do: Housework! That's a no-brainer.

Dad's name: Donald

Essential Make-up/skin care products: It oughta' be a law--never, NEVER, answer the door or leave the house without being fully dressed! And that includes my face for goodness sake! Besides, it is a universal rule, the moment I leave to do a few errands without it--I run into that special someone (you know the one...the high school crush, my hubby's favorite former girlfriend!)...and walla! I'm hosed!

Favorite Perfume: Amierge by Givenchy

Gold or silver: Both

Hometown: Born in Grundy Center, Iowa (yes, there IS such a place!), grew up in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and now live in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Interesting fact: I don't know who my biological father is.

Job Title: Like many of you, "Doer of many things!"

Kids: One daughter (25), Son (23), Son (14) Foster Daughter (30), 3 adorable foster granddaughers!

Living Arrangements: For the moment, we live in a western suburb of Minneapolis, on 2 1/2 beautiful acres. My daughter and son-in-law are currently living with us (Yippee!) . I say "for the moment" because my husband daily threatens it is time to "downsize!" We've been looking, but can't find just the right place for 5 people, three dogs, 2 mice and a boat! Downsize! Ha!

Mom's birthplace: Minnesota

Number of apples eaten in the last week: 7

Overnight hospital stays: 3 births, 1 pnemonia, 2 kidney stones, 3 migraines, 1 ovarian cyst explosion and 1 mental health vacation!

Phobia: Since menopause: Heights and tiny spaces (like elevators!)

Question I ask myself a lot: Will I ever get it all done!?!?!?

Religion: Christian. I grew up Assembly of God (charismatic) and my husband grew up Catholic. Knowing these two would be hard to blend, after we got married, we decided to attend a (BGC) Baptist church feeling that would be a good compromise as it is Bible teaching and practices traditions.

Siblings: I am the oldest of five: 4 sisters (one deceased) and 1 brother

Time I wake up: 6:35 a.m.

Unnatural hair color: I have been known to say, "The only mistake God made--was me not being a natural blonde!" So I'd have to say--my natural color (brunette) is unnatural! Although, in an early attempt to be blonde--I managed a soft tint of green highlights!

Vegetable I refuse to eat: Anything with hair on it!

Worst Habit: Procrastinating

X-rays: Lots

Yummy Food I make: My kids love my spaghetti

Zodiac sign: Gemini

I really enjoyed this post. It is always so fun to learn these little bits about other bloggers. On that note:
You've been tagged...
Se7en Meme
Have fun with it...unless of course you've already done this one, or just don't have the time right now.

This was great!!! It was fun to get to know you better and I agree with the first one: Those who never blog will never understand!!! THAT IS SO TRUE! I don't have a single friend or family member who blogs and they just don't get it.

Cheryl said...

I'm kind of hooked too

Susie said...

Great post full of lots of fun. I'm going to come back and click on some links later when I have more time. I love memes too, but I've got two to do! (Now that was a weird sentence)
:-)

Wow, didn't know that I was a challenge :) or maybe not me - lol. I am honored that you chose my blog (I am in great company) for the meme, but I have done it already - just don't know which blog I did it - lol. I'll let you know.
BTW - saw that you have a silber medal from the blog olympics. I am hosting June 15th on My Lighter Side. Hope to see you there.

This is a great post! I had fun doing my own and even more fun reading everyone else's.

By the way, the strikethrough thing...all you do is type < then s then > then the word or words then < then / then s then > again. I hope this makes sense to you, lol.

And that info came from Tess at Tess Talks.
