Eight Random Things About Me

My good friend, Jewel, tagged me for this meme. This was good timing, I needed a diversion!

Rules:
1. Post the rules, before you post the facts.
2. Start with 8 random facts/habits.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own posts about their own 8 facts and post these rules.
4. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and let them know they've been tagged.

My Random Facts:

1. I graduated from high school 2 years early.

2. I learned how to stitch by hand when I was 4 yrs. old. My Granny believed that every grandchild needed to learn how to quilt! You started at 4 with straight seams, by age 6 you should know how to do points and corners without having puckers in them!

3. I went to three different schools my kindergarten year.

4. I went to two different schools my first grade year. (And I started first grade at a different school than I ended kindergarten! Is it any wonder that I HATE to move???)

5. The WonderHusband and I have lived in seven different places since we have been married. (And, Please God!, they will carry me out of this house in a pine box!!)

6. I have always wanted a chocolate standard poodle. (No show cut!!! And I'm not talking about a candy!)

7. I am a true mixed breed: Scotch, Irish, English, Welsh, Cherokee, and Negro! (My grandmother's grandmother was a half-breed slave.)

8. I sang in church for the first time when I was 6. I tried valiantly to sing "I'll Fly Away", but all I could remember were those particular words so I sang them multiple times and then sat down.


Who shall I tag???? Hmmmm... I think Don, John, John, Kim, Lavender Chick, Jan, Jeana, and Kelli.

Have fun! I look forward to finding your posts! (And no wimping out men, I mean it!)

Hi, Theresa! I've actually done this one more than once, but thanks for thinking of me!

You have been around the block a time or two, Sister! Going to all of those different schools and moving so much. Are you sure you know where you're at? *grin* And I love the "I'll Fly Away" story. I'm just thankful I didn't have to listen to it! LOL

Hi there!

I enjoyed reading the facts about you! I think standard poodles are gorgeous ... would love one, too.

Thanks for tagging me - I'll get right on it when I get back home. I'm out of town at some meetings for a few days, just doing a quick check in because, you know - the curiousity was killing me...

Thanks for thinking of me. I was glad to get to know you better from your 8 facts!

Ah, Jewel, I'm right here in Mount Vernon, and (God willing) planning to stay here until Jesus takes me home!!! I'm sure the musician in you was able to fill in the 6 yr. old off-key voice to go with the missing words!:)

LC, I'm anxiously waiting to see your post. Have a safe trip!
