My Life According To Billy Joel

I was tagged on Facebook and thought I would post my answers here since Bud posted his answers on his blog. Bookkitten may be posting hers as well. I thought this was a fun one to do. Feel free to do this. I just posted the directions as is from the meme/tag. Enjoy!!!

PS... I was going to do Elvis naturally but I thought that was just "a given"...so I figured I'd challenge myself a little bit more.

Brought To You By The Letter "H"

I've been tagged by Sue for this fun meme!It's actually called “Brought to you by the letter…” game.

Here’s how it works…You leave a comment on this post, and I’ll assign you a letter. You write about ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter, and post it at your place.

When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on. (I copied that from her and she copied off someone else, so... feel free to rip it off again).

1. HARLEY - He is my heart. I love this cat more than words can say!! He brings such unconditional love and joy into my life. God blessed me with him 15yrs ago and I pray that I have him for many more years.


2. HUBBY - My husband I love more than life itself. We've been together now for 13 years and married for 11 and a half of them. He is my soulmate


3. HOLLOWAY, Josh - Gotta love Sawyer from LOST. You know I had to find a way to include him.


4. HOME - I love my apartment. I love being home. It has my computer, my bed and my two favorite guys ---- Hubby & Harley


5. HEALING - I am so happy that my leg is healing from cellulitis so I really love 'healing'


6. HEINZ - Gotta love me some of the best ketchup in the free world. Nothing compares to Heinz...especially that other H ketchup. Nope!


7. HAPPINESS - I love happiness and to be Happy! That is all I want out of life - to have my family and friends to be healthy, happy & safe.


8. HEALTH - I want and strive for good health. Very important to me...see #7


9. HEARTBREAK HOTEL - Love the first #1 that brought Elvis to the charts. You know I had to include my Elvis somehow?


10. HOT DOGS - From this place. They are called "rippers" and with Rutts Hutt homemade relish and HEINZ ketchup it makes for the best hot dog in the world. The place is a hole in the wall but it has the best food.

I've Been Tagged

Brenda Susan over at Walking Butterfly has tagged me to give 7 random facts about myself. This should be interesting. All of my regular readers know I'm not playing with a full deck so I shouldn't surprise anyone....LOL!

1. I have now expanded my coffee purchases to another place besides Dunkin Donuts. I will go there or to McDonalds. They both have delicious coffee. Starbucks is too expensive and personally the coffee always tastes burnt to me. If I go to Starbucks it is for a treat like a java chip light frappuchino
2. I like a bargain just like the next girl, but there a few things I will not buy the store brand of. Some examples are Heinz Ketchup, Hellmans Mayonaisse, Welchs Grape Jelly and I am a little more open about peanut butter...it can be Skippy, Peter Pan or Reeses. My last resort will be Jif.
3. Speaking of name brand...I have this thing with Bacos Bacon Bits. I overuse the product. I love it on salads. A little too much. I have even been known to go to the fridge and pour a bit in my hand to have as a "snack".
4. I am currently writing a "Chicklit" novel.
5. I am wanting a 5th tattoo
6. I love a lot of different genres of music. If you saw my cd collection you would find this mixture (this is just a few examples of the diversity) - Elvis, Billy Joel, Ozzy Osbourne, Amy Grant, Melissa Etheridge, Enya, Kenny Rogers, The Beatles, Josh Groban, Dean Martin, and by God I will admit it - I even have a Yanni cd.
7. Even though it is taboo, I watch and love Family Guy. Brian & Stewie are my favorites.

There you have it. Seven random facts about me. Now, for tagging...I will tag anyone who would like to participate. Please just leave me a comment to let me know you've done it so I can find out some random stuff about you!

Which One Do You Relate To?

I was tagged by Debbie at Through Thick N Thin.

You remember Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer don't you? This TAG requires you to pick a Christmas Character you think your most like and explain why? Santa, Rudolph, Hermey, Cornelius, Bumble, Snowman etc.

I would say I relate most to Rudolph.

I always question and doubt myself but when someone shows faith in me, I'll always pull through no matter what.

I'm tagging anyone who would like to participate. I'm sorry I didn't include everyone's picture. I couldn't copy it off of Debbie's page and I am SO lazy tired to try and find pictures for each one.

Tagged - Truth or Dare

I was tagged by Lyn at A Blog In The Rough so here it is, all the truth you can handle about me, dares not included.

For the following questions you have the choice of Truth or Dare. You can either answer the question truthfully or if you choose Dare you must write what you'd be willing to do instead. Have fun. Pass it on if you dare..

1. If you had a magic wand would start life all over?
Hmm? That is a hard question. I would if I could do it cafeteria style. Pick and choose what I would like to repeat and not repeat. Plus I would love to be able to see my mother again.

2. How old were you when you first had sex?


3. Would you make your breasts bigger or smaller?
I'd keep them as is.

4. How many times would you marry or remarry?
I have and am only married once.

5. If you had the opportunity to be a man for a day would you do it?
Nah, I like being a girl.

6. Have you ever thought about divorce?
No

7. Is LOVE or Money more important?
Love

8. Can you touch your toes?
Yes

9. Do you like your mother in law?
Yes, she is nice.

10. If you could pick the age you would kick it what would it be?
I don't want to pick an age, but will say that I would want to be old enough to spend as much time as I can with my family, enjoy myself and be in my right state of mind. I would also like to be able to care for myself and not have to live with any kind of pain if that could be arranged. My husband and I want to go together, holding hands. We have always said that.

Tagging time:

Anybody who wants to do it and re-tag anyone else or a specific person.

I've Been Tagged & Maybe You Have Too!

I was tagged by Scriber's Web

Here goes:

Six unspectacular things about me


First you post the rules:
1. Link the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks you possess.
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

Now the LIST:

1) I eat food very weird. I don't eat pizza crusts. I eat the chocolate around a Reese's peanut butter cup & leave the peanut butter for last. With Oreos, I'll take 4 or 5 of them, open them up eat the cream center out of all of them, then eat the cookie later after I am done with the cream. Maybe I have a problem with mixed food items. I need to separate them for some reason. Some may call this neurotic, I call it weird.

2) I have a very long commute to work. 90 mins to 2hrs each way. I keep myself occupied when not listening to the radio or audiobooks by singing or making up songs. Really weird songs set to the melody of a popular song, I just change the words. Most of the songs are about my cat. He's got a great 2 syllable name so that helps with the wording.

3) I am a corporate travel agent and I am scared of flying. Everybody has their thing right?

4) I am a caffeine addict. Hey, the first step is admitting you are powerless over caffeine. I love it in coffee form, Diet coke form, java-chip light frappuchino form, and chocolate form. I have no interest in seeking help. I am fine with my addiction.

5) I hate shopping. Yes, a woman that admits to not liking shopping. I'm in love with Amazon.com. If one could marry a website, I would pick this one.

6) When I leave the house in the morning, I check to make sure everything is off a couple of times. I also make sure the door is locked more than once. OK, more than twice.
