7 Random Facts About Me

Blogging friend Sherry at Keep You In Stitches tagged me the other day. (actually I've been tagged with 2 other tags, but I'll do those another day.) Sometimes I think my entire blog is full of Random Facts About Me, but I did manage to narrow it down to 7! Here goes:

THE RULES:

1. Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post THE RULES on your blog.
3. Post 7 weird or random facts about yourself on your blog.
4. Tag 7 people and link to them.
5. Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

7 Random Facts About Me:

1. I recorded an album with Kenny Loggins. (Ok, it was his "Kenny Loggins Alive" album and I was in the audience when they recorded a song. I yelled "I love you Kenny!" and it's on the album, therefore, I did record an album with Kenny Loggins!)

2. I used to have 162 pairs of shoes. (I worked at a shoe store during college so I went a little nuts!)

3. I have read Steve Martin's, "ShopGirl" 162 times (at least!)

4. I collect baseball cards.

5. I ran the Cascade Runoff, a 15K in Portland, Oregon with Norwegian marathoner Greta Waitz. (ok, she was in the front and I was way in the back!)

6. My first concert was Andy Gibb.

7. I could eat Chinese food every night of the week.

Tagged and Thawing Out!

I just got back from Utah. I froze, but everyone kept saying "Lovely weather we're having, don't you think?" They weren't kidding! I thought they were all crazy. I wore my warmest coat and layers of sweaters. Wow! I sure have thin blood!

I was able to stay one night with Daughter #1 and her husband and see their first home. It's very nice and cozy and cute. Now....let me ask you something. Do you see something wrong with this picture? I see it. Look closely. Yes, that's right. It's a clean kitchen. It's Daughter #1's clean kitchen. The whole house was clean and neat and tidy! This is the home of a daughter who I could never get to do the dishes or make her bed or clean her room. She's really grown up. Typical, isn't it? When our children have to keep their own houses clean (and not Mom and Dad's), they will do it. We really enjoyed our visit. They are happy. And they don't think it's so cold up there.
Now I'm back and thawing out and counting down until Daughter #2's wedding. Now it's panic time!

But first...a meme. (and it's a meme with links, too!)
