Tagged....

Giggle...I've been tagged by Carolyn at diaryofasewingfanatic ! I have to say this is the first smile that has crossed my face since last Friday morning when we arrived at the hospital for my tonsillectomy. The surgery is a whole different topic.

Tagging....
1.) Someone tags you.
2.) You post five things about yourself that you haven't already mentioned on your blog.
3.) You tag 5 people you'd like to know more about.

Now for 5 things you don't already know about me!
1.) I want to teach young women to sew. I'm speaking of basics of course because I'm definitely not an expert. In fact in the late 80's while attending Kent State University my major was Secondary Education-Home Economic's Education. I was in my second year when they notified us that the state of Ohio was no longer going require it for graduation, (of course that means the schools are going spend the money in other areas, thereby eliminating the courses in all but the largest schools). I got mono soon after that and had to take a break, I didn't go back because I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to teach.
2.) I have a 10 pound ball of poodle fur that is sitting next me that runs the lives of our whole house, he is currently scooping out the rest of the neighborhood to see who else he can con. He is such a joy and blessing. His name is Toffey or Bartoff if he is in trouble. He was rescued from no-kill shelter in August of 04', and I wouldn't take a million dollars for him.
3.) I LOVE to cook, and I hate to bake. OK, I don't hate to bake but I don't enjoy it either. I don't measure in the kitchen, maybe because I do so much of it in my sewing and crafting, so it's just not my cup of tea. If I bake something from scratch its for one of two reasons, someone I love is having a special/bad day, or I am craving Grandma food.
4.) I wear red every single Friday to show my love and support of our troops. Before anyone asks this has nothing to do with my view of world peace. It is merely because it is the right thing to do in my humble opinion and such a small thing.
5.) I am an information lush. If I catch a snippet of something on TV that sparks my interest I may spend hours or days researching it on the net. I love the fact that we have that option. A few of my prior searches...US mint The United States Mint , wonders of the world The Seven Wonders: Other monuments , the Titanic Titanic Passenger and Crew Research :: Encyclopedia Titanica , the Great Barrier Reef ,http://www.nationalgeographic.com/earthpulse/reef/reef1_flash.html and so on. Now as to who tag, I have no clue, so by all means let me know if anyone has been missed.
