Good morning to you! It is a good morning because I'm here, and the Lord is good! I am making progress getting my year-end junk done at work. My dear hubby came with me last evening for 3 hours to my office and piddled on his laptop while I got some things done. How sweet is that! I have so many interruptions during the day sometimes I can't seem to stay on track.

Well, I'm going to do something that I should have done long ago. When I first started blogging back in Nov., Vee from A Haven for Vee tagged me. I'm supposed to tell 7 things about myself and tag 7 more people. Now I'm not going to tag anybody right now, because I don't know 7 people very well yet - I know a few of you. I may do the tagging later. But I have been thinking about telling you 7 things about myself that you may or may not want to know - here goes:

1. I have been married for 30 years in July 08 to my highschool sweetheart. We met when we were 16 in English class. I knew right away I wanted that goodlooking redneck FFA boy. I got his attention by drawing a beautiful horse picture (he was really INTO horses and cows & his family had both) and "accidently" dropping it next to his desk. He was hooked - he just didn't know it yet. The rest is history. (also that same English teacher and our Spanish teacher taught 2 of our kids in THEIR highschool! how wierd is that)

2. I lost my bikini bathing suit bottoms on our honeymoon in Hawaii- I was going up to the beach from the water, and a huge wave crashed upon me from behind and sucked me back out taking my bottoms with it - almost, they were down around my ankles, and I was trying my best to crawl and chase the water as it washed back out so I could drown myself from the shame (and pull up my bottoms)!!!! DH of only a few days died laughing!
3. When I was 4, my neighbor's son across the street hit me in the face with a brick breaking my nose and causing me to have stitches (I threw something at him first). The next day, I had my 4th birthday party televised on our local TV station with Princess Mary and all my friends, with my nose swollen and stitched up. I remember how bad it hurt!(and looked)

4. My husband, me, and my 3 kids all went to the same pre-school. Also, we all had the same pediatricians!
You can tell we've been in this town a long time...

5. My husband and I have lived in College Station (we are all big Aggies) and Austin and Dallas besides our hometown. We couldn't wait to leave home and then couldn't wait to get back. Our oldest son went to A&M, too, was in the Corps of Cadets, in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band (played bass horn) WHOOP, and we still go back for games and other functions. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! We liked Austin - so much to do there, kinda laid back, different kinds of artsy free people there (right up my alley), and we liked Dallas, but are glad that we didn't have to raise our kids there.

6. I always thought I would have made a good hippie. Just a little too young at the time, the hippie movement was about gone by my teens, but now I'm glad I didn't go there. But I still like the idea of being artsy and free and different and march to the beat of one's own drum and all that jazz....

7. And last of all, my sister Lisa is my very best friend in the whole world. I have one sister - we fought like cats growing up, 3 years apart. My mom used to think we actually hated one another, but no - she knows me better than anyone and she still loves me (and vise versa).

Ok, there you have it - my usual too-wordy, too much information self. I'm sure there's other wierd things about me, but that's all I could come up with for today. I will do the tag thing some other time as I get to know some of you more. Plus, I hate to tag people that I know have just been tagged. Thanks to Vee for thinking of me, cuz she wanted me to get my feet wet! Blessings - Vickie
