Considering Myself Tagged
Heide said whoever's reading, so I guess that's me!
1. I find song cues in everyday conversation all the time. And take them! You can find me singing in response to just about anything. Sometimes we spend a whole day speaking in recitative!
2. I love to reread books. Over and over again. I used to read "Nicholas Nickleby" every Christmas. Hey, that sounds like a good idea...The more I know, the better I like it. Luckily, I have pretty good taste! Crappy books get the 30 page test, slightly less crappy get read only once. But I never get rid of a book unless it really depresses me. I once threw a copy of "Daniel Martin" in the garbage to save myself from finishing it. It made me too sad.
3. I am totally addicted to "Celebrity Poker Showdown." I know, I know. And yet I scoff at watching professional poker tournaments. It's just the famous people, apparently. My guilty pleasure.
4. I love being a Girl Scout leader, almost more than anything I've ever done. But it gives me nightmares. I very often dream that I have forgotten to prepare some craft or other for 200 kids, over and over again. This happens right before Vacation Bible School, as well. Sheesh! I teach games, very low pressure, one would think.
5. Color makes me drunk. I don't so much care what combination or anything. Just bright and saturated. As many as possible. I could read "Color in Spinning" a hundred more times (and probably will; see #2). The only color I avoid is pink. But magenta, fuschia, red violet, all fine. Just light pink, really. Blech. Comes from being a fake redhead I guess. I once moved into an apartment that was painted flamingo pink and black. I couldn't sleep there until I painted.
6. My children call me weird all the time. And I love it! I embrace the weird! I think it's a good lesson for them in being yourself that I don't like being thought odd. Neither does their dad. Kids (especially girls) take such hit for not conforming later on, I'd like it if they were just a little bit desensitized to it.
Okay, Joy, Weaver, Star, Trek, Yarn Pirate, January One, you are it! Have fun!
"Each player of this game starts with the ‘6 weird things about you.’ People who
get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state
this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list
their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their
comments and tell them to read your blog.” (with help from DD)

Oh girl, there's nothing weird there! I was hoping to read that you ate with your toes or some other such oddity. You may just be too normal for me. Cheers and have a great weekend!
Great list! much better than mine (i did this one on the 8th http://weaverbrewerandthefam.blogspot.com/2006/12/i-got-tagged.html
I'm guessing there is no time limit to this, right?
Your list is good!
