In the wonderful world of blogging, I've been tagged. I guess its the equivalent of getting one of those 'if you don't pass this on you'll be doomed' chain emails that we all so fequently delete from our email inbox (huh-huh). Maybe soon I'll get a notice about my opportunity to share in $300 million that the Bank of Western Kenyamibia. That's the one I cannot wait for cuz I'm getting ready to buy a house and could really use some of that $300 million to help out.
Still - I've had such an up and down time of late - I better fill this out and pass it on to at least one person (not 8, sorry), so I can not be the absolute end of the link. This hopefully will be enough to keep at least a little bit of the bad luck that is supposed to come your way if you break chains like these.
So here goes...-Players write a post with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
-At the end of that post, they "tag" eight (or in my case one, cuz the Zelt's tagged all the blogs of everyone I know) bloggers to write similar posts, including the rules.
-The players then leave a comment to tell the "tag-gees". (At least I only have to comment one person.
1. I carry around three coins in my pocket at all times. These serve as a daily reminder of my Grandmother and Grandfather (mom's parents) who were/are really big influences in my life. Here they are..
Casino Niagara Token: My Grandmother's favorite place to spend the quarters she saved up for the annual excursion to play the slot machines)
Sacagawea Dollar Coin: Given to me by my Grandfather. Was in my Grandmothers change purse when she passed away
Silver Penny: Belonged to my Grandfather. I was permitted to keep it after he passed away
Many Thanks to my Dear Friend Mari for finding and mailing me back the coin that fell out of my pocket onto her couch during my visit to FLA for her wedding this April. So far this has been the only time I have been separated from one of these coins since my collection became complete on Dec 28th, 2004.
2. My favorite movie of all-time is The Towering Inferno.
3. I have only thankfully seen one tornado in my life. Devils Tower, June 21, 2003 with Kimmie in my first road trip with HAL. I had received a weather briefing in the morning from a friend of mine at the NWS telling me the weather was going to be great. After I saw the tornado, I received a voice mail from that same friend telling me a tornadic storm was heading my way. :)
4. In my first 35 days in a hotel in Louisville, I managed to watch all 11 Seasons of M*A*S*H on DVD (251 episodes total). Yes, the cable in the hotels is bad as frick and I haven't been sleeping well. In the subsequent days I've started watching Scrubs from the beginning...Seasons 2-5 here I come.
5. I saw all three movies of the Original Star Wars Trilogy in the theater in the same day on two different occasions (1997 Special Editions).
6. I finished Harry Potter 7 in under 7 hrs this weekend and am currently in the middle of the following books: Obama's Dreams from My Father, Pride and Prejudice, Now Discover Your Strengths and The Reagan Diaries.
7. Cars I have considered 'mine' in some form since I started driving. 1979 Silver Ponitac Bonneville (grandparents/parents), 1989 Maroon Pontiac Grand Prix (parents), 1997 Black Pontiac Grand Prix SE (Black Magic, Big Black Unit, P.O.S.), 2003 Beige Honda Accord LX V6 (HAL - the only car I've every fully owned on my own. Get how he was named? besides the obvious 2001 reference)
8. One of my dreams is to attend an America's Cup Yacht Race in New Zealand someday. Unfortunately, for that to happen, New Zealand must win the cup again - so I may have to settle for seeing a race in some other country some day.
