My First Tag

I’ve been tagged by Rebecca at The Space Between My Peers.  Here’s what I’m supposed to do:

* Link the person who tagged you - check.
* Mention the rules in your blog - check.
* Tell about six unspectacular quirks of your’s - see below.
* Tag a new set of six following bloggers by linking them:

  1. Edi at Exotic Eating Experiment
  2. Rebecca at Proverbs Mom
  3. Erica at Webel Family
  4. Rachel at The Adventures of Mama and Little Eggrolls
  5. Kailani of The Island Life
  6. Michelle at Scribbit (maybe I'll find out how she chose her blog name!)

* Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged - check (well, I e-mailed them instead)

Six unspectacular quirks o’ mine:

  1. I only use white hangers for my clothes. If there are no more white hangers available, I'll find one in Bruce's closet and switch out his clothes for a non-white hanger.
  2. I touch my nose when I think. My students call it my brain button.
  3. I can type faster than anyone else I know in real life. Last time I checked (a few weeks ago), I was averaging around 80 words per minute.
  4. I can't fall asleep if I haven't brushed my teeth.
  5. I already know where my 9 month old daughter is going to get married - Bok Tower.
  6. I can't stand to have unread posts in my Google Reader. Even if I don't have time to read something, I'll mark it as read and then star it so I don't forget to read it later.

    Thank you for the tag. I'll try to get it done soon.

    That's funny about your Google Reader! I know I feel a sense of accomplishment when I'm done going through mine!

    I understand the hanger thing. Ever since I was a teenager or a young adult I could not stand wire or wooden hangers. Still hate them. I did go through a period of using only one or two color hangers - but I've "mellowed" a bit :) and so I can use any color hanger - though I'd prefer to use all the same color.

    Thanks for tagging me - I'll see what I can do. Only done one before and it took me forever to figure out how to do it all! :)

    I love the hanger thing! I do not have this issue per se but I think that is a pretty cool quirk...

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
