I’ve been tagged with the tattoo meme! This is actually a fun meme to do. Some people know I have a tattoo, others may not. So, here it goes!

I have one, single tattoo. It’s the kanji symbol for “dreams”, which I got to remind me of all of the dreams I have and goals I hope to accomplish throughout my life. It is located on the inside of my left wrist, and is a little over an inch tall and a little less than half an inch wide (did I really type 5 inches???). The photo to the left was taken shortly after I got home, the day I got it. Getting it was sort of spur of the moment (not the tattoo, I mean the timing), so I really didn’t have much time to consider the pain I may have been setting myself up for. Thankfully, it felt like nothing more than bee or ant stings, and the swelling I was told to expect the next day (the tattoo artist said it would swell up about an inch or so) never happened! I have plans for at least one more tattoo - a dedication to my parents. Mom is Cherokee and my dad is Irish, so I was thinking of doing a portrait of an Indian girl blowing shamrocks out of the palms of her hands. I’m unsure of the location for this one at the moment but it’s ok, this tattoo is at least a year away!

Oh yeah.. and I’m tagging:

“Each person links to the person who tagged them. Then each person posts the rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people and then visits those peoples’ sites and comments letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.”

1. I’m probably taller than you - Five foot eleven inches to be exact. Heck, I’m taller than my husband!

2. My dad calls me Dip Stick and Snicklefrits. lol

3. People here in Calgary seem to think I’m from Australia because of my accent. Last time I checked, Aussies didn’t have deep southern drawls and say things like “Ya’ll” and “Over yonder”.

4. When I was about 8 years old, I watched a boy drown. They tried to revive him but with no luck. That image is still in my head.

5. I am a handbag fiend. As if that weren’t obvious - just read some of my recent posts.

6. I cannot wear most perfumes. Nearly all of them give me severe headaches. I usually wear body splash.

7. I love the smell of rain.

8. My mother is my absolute best friend in the whole wide world!

I tag anyone who would like to do this! Many of you already have, which is why I can’t think of anyone to tag myself. HAHA

Eight things about moi:

1. In the 2004 presidential election, my dad begged me to vote for George Dubya (ya’ll just don’t know how much my dad likes Dubya, it’s scary). He just went on and on and on about how not-so great of a job he was going to do for our country in the future. He would ask me several times a day “Are you going to vote for BUSH??” and I would always say “I don’t think so, I just don’t know yet!” I got tired of being asked and finally said “Yes” when he asked, but truthfully, I voted Kerry!

2. I am five-foot, eleven-inches tall!

3. My parents were married for 29 years, then divorced. Though my dad still thinks there’s a chance, I personally feel it’s better this way.

4. I’ve had two of the same “best” friends (though we don’t get to see one another as much as we’d like) since fourth grade!

5. I can nearly recite every word of Napoleon Dynamite. Heck yes! And that movie never gets old for me, everything is just as funny the millionth time as it is the first!

6. I love the TV show, Reba!

7. I have a really bad southern accent. Love it or hate it!

8. Jarome Iginla is the reason why I started watching the Calgary Flames, some years ago. He’s shexy!

I’m tagging: Henny, Lori, Debbie, Ranee (haha, take that chicka!), Mike (haha), Jessica.. and anyone else who would like to do this!

I’ve been tagged by skeet!!

Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

8 things:

1. The day my sister Nikki was born, I tripped on a rock and landed face first into a piece of glass! The cute required 8 stitches and it was more than apparent, I was not happy that I would no longer be the center of attention. haha!

2. I met my husband on the internet. Yep, it’s true and they all said we’d never survive but we’re going on 8 years of marriage!

3. I had my first operation at the age of 7, an appendectomy. While my mom was trying to take my clothes off and put me into one of those ultra-fashionable gowns, I was steady putting my clothing back on!

4. I make a popping noise with me mouth, which is quite similar to the sound Donkey makes in Shrek as they’re heading to Far Far Away!

5. I didn’t meet my in-laws until this past Christmas!

6. I dip french fries into chocolate ice cream and milk shakes.

7. I could watch The Wizard of Oz and The Goonies a million times, back to back and it wouldn’t bother me in the least.

8. I have to wash / scrub down my feet every night before bed or I just can’t sleep!

I tag: Helen, Lori, Debbie, Jess, Mandi… erm, losing train of thought, it’s getting rough here (weather). Anyone else that wants to do this, do it! hehe

Name five strange or weird eating habits that you have;

1] Dipping my fries in a chocolate milkshake. Hey, it’s delicious! Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

2] Mixing mayonnaise and ketchup to dip my fries in, when I’m not dipping them into a chocolate milkshake.

3] I will not eat a slice of pizza, bread sticks, garlic (cheese) bread or cheese sticks if I do not have ranch dressing to dip it in.

4] I mix corn (both whole kernel and creamed) into my mashed potatoes.

5] I still like hot-diggity-dogs in my macaroni and cheese. Yummm!

I am amending my post and cheating (sort of) on my own meme because Stacey has just reminded me that I have another strange food habit.

6] I eat pepperonis after she licks the garlicy stuff off of them. Just a note, I did not know she licked them and placed them back into the box until months AFTER (After I did the act. Not the time I waited before doing it. lol) the pepperonis had been eaten. lol

I tag.. anyone that wants to do this.
