Blog-Mania and Tag

I can't believe how this whole blog thing has caught on. Now I'm not complaining, mind you, cause I love reading blogs! I started off reading Judy L's, then Bonnie's, then Vicky's, and on and on. I now have 62 on my Bloglines | My Feeds page. Vicky is celebrating 2 years and Jill is celebrating her 200th post and both are having drawings. What generous online friends we have! And what wonderful inspiration these 24/7 quilt shows have become.

Playing Tag
I grew up a couple houses from a "court," you know, a little short street in the shape of a circle. All my friends lived in the "court" and we played dodgeball, softball, red rover, hide & seek, red-light-green-light and of course "Tag." All kinds of Tag - I'm sure this wouldn't be allowed these days, but we actually played cigarette-tag. You had to yell out the brand name of cigarettes when you were tagged, or you were IT. We also played candy-tag and freeze-tag.

Now that I'm all grown-up, I'm playing blog-tag. I've been tagged by Gizmo and here are the rules.

THE RULES:
1. Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post THE RULES on your blog.
3. Post 7 weird or random facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag 7 people and link to them.
5. Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

Seven random things about me:

1. I'm an only child, but could have had older conjoined twin sisters had they survived their birth.
2. I decorated cakes for 25 years, taught Wilton classes at Hobby Lobby and served as the 4-H Cake Decorating Superintendent.
3. I do not like mushrooms!
4. I'm participating in the K-mart "New Day-Your Way" weight loss challenge. -8lbs so far!
5. I really, really, really want to go to MQS this year, but don't think I am going to be able to pull it off.

Update 2/13/08
Gosh, you all probably think I've lost my mind. I only listed 5 things...........
Here's the final 2:

6. My husband Dan plays the guitar in a garage band, in our garage.
7. I have a really hard time saying NO! that could be why I'm so busy all the time.

Seven people I am tagging:
My Scottie friend, Shelly
My Apple friend, Janet (come on Janet, let's get that blog moving)
and ummm, If you would like to be tagged, please leave me a comment and I would be happy to tag you!
