I've Been Tagged!
Dang,
Ever since I started blogging I have been dreading the day I would be tagged. Don't ask me why though. I am usually an open book and really don't have anything to hide but I just didn't think I had anything interesting to say. I have managed to slip under the radar for over 2 years until Salt-n-Pepper Diva decided to call me out. Thanks for looking out (smirk)!
As always....here are the rules
1. Link to the person(s) that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share 6 non important quirks/things/habits about yourself.
4. Tag 6 random, people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs
5. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a post on their blog.
Okay.......let's see....what can I tell you about myself that I haven't already posted about.
1. My Pugs (aka my furry children) run my life. Sounds weird, but they truly do. I feel so guilty leaving them at home while we work that we rarely go out on weeknights. Also, on the weekends I take them to the off-leash dog park in the morning and late afternoon on Saturdays and Sundays. They love it there.
2.I was raised in "white" America. I know it sounds funny but that is how I describe growing up in a little Navy town in the Pacific Northwest. I'm not complaining though. I love my hometown and thanks to the military (Air Force) I've been able to see the world and not get stuck with a small town mentality. I believe I've had the best of both worlds and am a proud, well adjusted African American woman.
3.I used to be a neat freak. However, 5 years ago when I became the Mommy to two furry children I gave that habit up. It's too hard keeping up with Pug hair. Don't get me wrong now....most people come to my house and still say I'm neat. I'm just not neurotic about it anymore.
4. I recently celebrated a 1 year anniversary. I smoked (cigarettes only) for 27 years. I quit on 2/6/07 and haven't smoked since.
5. I've gained 30-35 pounds in past the year since I quit smoking. You can probably see the difference in some of past blog posts to the most current. During that year of eating dangerously my mantra was......."Your healthier fat than being a smoker."
6. On January 21st, 2008 I started the Body for Life program. It's a 12 week challenge of weight lifting and cardio exercise, 6 days a week, to get your body back in shape. Since starting, I've managed to lose 7 pounds. I've got at least 30 pounds more to go. Wish me luck!
So who am I gonna "call out" to join us in this tagging frenzy? Get your typing fingers ready ladies. Roll call is: BlackDoll, NappyBlessings, QueeBaby, PureHappiness, Malaikablus, and princessblack247. Happy blogging!
