The Rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Ok, here goes!

1. In junior high school, some friends of mine would hold gross-out contests during lunch. I almost always won. Through those contests, I discovered that I love chili and oreos (yes, together).
2. If I could do anything in this world, I would want to be either an opera singer or a cartoon voice-over artist.
3. Banana Boat and Bath & Body Works products give me a rash.
4. I have a Trapper Keeper that I use to keep my design ideas and notes handy.
5. Artificial sweeteners make my stomach hurt.
6. Canned and bottled sodas taste “funny” to me, but those from a fountain are delish!

Now it’s my turn to say, “Tag, you’re it!”

Glas, Zang, Jules, Cookie, Beth, and Conservative Belle.

This morning I was doing my dailies and gained a very unexpected prize:

Sweet! Selling that paintbrush will help push me closer to one of my goals: a complete Lab map. I’ve only 4 more pieces to go. It’s (IMO) the best buy for anyone looking to up their pets’ stats (and appearance) with minimal effort.

Even better, I hit the Symol hole and gained an avatar there, along with a few NPs:

I’ve been playing nearly 6 years and had never hit either one of these … :mrgreen: Sweeeeeet!!

The way it goes:

A PASSION QUILT

THE RULES:

1. Post a picture or make/take/create your own that captures what YOU are most passionate for students to learn about.
2. Give your picture a short title.
3. Title your blog post “Meme: Passion Quilt.”
4. Link back to this blog entry.
5. Include links to 5 (or more) educators.

Ok, so here’s my picture, and its title is Find Your Voice

Here are my educator picks that I think today’s young people could learn a lot from:

• Teresa
• John and Miranda
• White Trash Mom
• Beth of My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy
• Conservative Belle
• Greta of Kiss My Gumbo and Hooah Wife
• Jules of Everyday Mommy

Cookie gets honorable mention — he would have been in my list, but he’s already done this meme … and he’s the one who tagged me in the first place!

The Meme: Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.

1. I’m a little OCD when it comes to chewing and food. I have to chew equal amounts on both sides of my mouth. And if I’m eating candies (M&Ms!), I match ‘em up by color and chew one of each on each side of my mouth.
2. My favorite brand of chocolate is Hershey’s.
3. I absolutely LOATHE the color pink — but will jump at the chance to dress my child in it. ~smirk~
4. One of the quickest ways for a server (in a restaurant) to piss me off is to stick a lemon in my sweet tea. (Particularly because I almost always ask NOT to have a lemon!)
5. Sometimes I absentmindedly grind my teeth in time to whatever song is stuck in my head.
6. I don’t care what you print about me, just make sure you get my name right.

It then tells me: “You type 345 characters per minute, You have 60 correct words and, you have 1 wrong word.”

Not bad, but I used to be a LOT faster. My co-workers tease me all the time about my typing, telling me that I don’t “type like a programmer” LOL
