Welcome back!
Shelia, from To Love, Honor and Vacuum (what a cute name eh?) tagged me today as she has been following me on Twitter lately and wants to learn more about me. I’m honored really! So here is my feable attempt at telling you all 7 Juicy Tidbits about Me. I’m not really one to think that things about me are “juicy” but I’ll try my best.
Actually I think I”m going to break the rules here a bit and instead of writing 7 new tidbits about myself, and since Sheila is a relatively new follower of mine I think that she’ll benefit a great deal from, (meaning get to know me better) by reading some of my previous posts here on my blog. So, I’m going to be pointing out 7 of them from 2008 that I think will best help her to get to know me. How’s that for juicy?
So, I’ve changed this meme up a bit, but hey! one juicy thing you’ll learn about me is that I like to be different.
Post #1 – I did a 7 Wierd Things post last January. It should give you some things to know about me.
Post #2 – 10 Likes Verses Dislikes - A few more interesting things about me can be found here.
Post #3 - My Little Love Story – Here is the first in a series of posts on how I meet my husband.
Post #4 - I Am From – I did this neat meme and it reveals alot about my past.
Post #5 – What I’m About Online – I share in this post the many things I do online and what I am all about.
Post #6 – Counting My Blessings – In this post I tell you about some of my blessings.
Post #7 – Writing, My Passion – One of the things I’m most passionate about as explained here.
So, this may not have been the original meme, but I like how it turned out.

After a deeply serious week of posts that came as a result of my weekend at She Speaks, I find this post where I have been tagged by a blogger whom I’ve never read before, but apparently she reads my blog and wants to get to know me, wow!
So, anyway, here are some answers so that maybe she and others can get to know me and then I’ll tag some of you. Fun huh?? It’s light-hearted and fun and since it’s Saturday that is appropriate.
Favorite person (outside family)?
Man this one is too difficult to answer, if I put just one person I’d hurt feelings. So I can’t answer this, because I’m a people pleaser and wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
Favorite food?
Mexican
Quirks about you?
I am a people pleaser and I have an anxiety disorder, I freak out easily.
How would the person who loves you most describe you in ten words or less?
loving, caring, enthusiastic, emotional, high-strung, passionate, organized,
Any regrets in life?
Not really. I think every stepping stone along the way has been a part of God’s big plan.
Favorite Charity/Cause?
The Church – The body of Christ.
Favorite Blog recently?
My new favorite is Simply His Plus, I had the privilege of meeting Lisa B in person this past weekend at She Speaks.

Snow cone stand operator.
What job would you pay NOT to have?
Anything dirty.
If you could be a fly on the wall, where?
In Heaven of course.
Favorite Bible verse right now?
Always,
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28
Guilty Pleasure?
hmmm, Coca Cola Classic ??
Got any confessions?
I have not a clue.
If you HAD to spend $1,000 on YOURSELF, how would you spend it?
Clothes and pampering, a massage, a manicure and pedicure, and my hair done.
Favorite thing about your house?
It is mine!
Least favorite thing about your house?
It needs more space.
One thing you are bad at?
Saying “no” to good things resulting in trying to do too much.
One thing you’re good at?
Speaking, writing, blogging and organizing in no particular order.
If you could change something about your circumstances, what?
As I learned this weekend at She Speaks I need to not change my circumstances but to have faith in what GOD is doing in and through them, but honestly there is NOTHING wrong with my present circumstances.
Who would you like to meet someday? Living or dead?
My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
What makes you feel sexy?
not being preggo LOL
Who is your real life hero?
my parents
What is the hardest part of your job?
Knowing that I am doing God’s will.
When are you most relaxed?
When I know things are taken care of and I can just chill.
What stresses you out?
Finances
What can you not live without?
God, my husband, children, family materially, my laptop
Do you agree or disagree with the recent article that reported that blogs are authored by narcissists?
I have to admit I do not know what that word means.
Why do you blog?
because it is relaxing and I love to write.
