Geezie Beezie

Teri tagged me.... I knew I wasn't running fast enough! My punishment for getting caught in this game of tag is to tell you all 7 things about myself you probably don't know... so here goes.

1) I have a blankie. yes. I know. I got it from my Lao Lao when I was 4 or 5 I believe. I have slept with it ever since. It goes with me everywhere if I am going to spend the night. When I go to a conference to stay over night... I have to take it along.

2)I don't have a favorite type of music. I believe I got my love of music from my dad who is always singing and dancing around the house and always blurts out a line from a song that goes with a phrase you have just said. Example, if you tell someone to jump, he would start singing "Jump... For my love... JUMP IN!" My music interests include artists such as: Chris Daughtry, Carrie Underwood, Guns N Roses, Metallica, Eminem, Ludacris, Macy Gray, Josh Groban, Faith Hill, Celine Dion, Rascall Flatts, Jewel, Gretchen Wilson, Fergie, Stevie Nicks, Allison Kraus... See... no consistency - just a little of everything!

3) My senior year of high school I won the John Philip Sousa Band Award and the National School Choral Award. Yeah. I was the music stud!


4) When I start something - I have to finish it. Even if that means staying up until 1:00 in the morning to get it finished. I don't know how many times I have said to my husband... "Just give me 10 more minutes. I am almost finished!!!"


5) When I was little I had Osgood-Schlatter's Disease - Sounds a lot worse than it really is. I always thought it was Osgood "Slaughter" which sounded even worse. I had to sit out of PE class a LOT and went to some physical therapy that I hated and never did the exercises I was supposed to.

6) I am a reality show freak. I love all of them. Sad, huh? Big Brother is my favorite, then American Idol. But I will watch ANY reality show. Haven't found one I don't enjoy.

7) I was in the Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band Drumline while in college. THAT was a BLAST! (I am not in the video below. I couldn't find one with me in it. And actually this isn't of the drumline - just the whole band...)



So - who am I tagging? Uhm. I would tag Valeri - but she lucked out since she is in China!
So I guess I will tag: Kimberley, Doris, and I was going to tag CJ but I clicked on her blog and it froze my computer up and almost made me lose this whole post so I gave up.... LOL
Have fun!

I'm on it! I'm doing this one tomorrow. I played the clarinet in the junior high band. I'm sure now that all of that practice time is lost and I wouldn't know what to do anymore.

Wow, you do have a wide range of music. I thought my taste was a wide range, but you have me beat!

Valeri said...

I'll do this...you can tag me!

Love the musical tastes...I'm an eclectic one too.

Hah, it worked to elude the tag. Actually, I think I still have a couple of tags to catch up on.

The 'freeze' thing is odd. Your blog crashes my Firefox browser everytime. I have to go through Safari to access you. I've got 3 of 173 blogs who are that way....who knows?
