Tag! I'm It!

That awesome mommy with the darling baby twins, Goddess In Progress, tagged me! This is what I have to do...

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share seven facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.



Seven Random Facts

See, when you make it capitalized and bold, it makes it fancier and tricks the reader into thinking you're saying something important-like, even when it isn't!


1. When I was seven, my mom threw a hobo-themed party for my birthday (I realize how obsessive I am about parties. As you will see, it all started with my mother) Everyone dressed in old clothes and we cooked beans and weenies in tin cans outside. She even used eyebrow pencil to make stubble on my face and tied a bandanna to a stick.


2. I woke up this morning to the sounds of a child vomiting. Missy Hoohaw is sick.


3. My biggest and most enduring celebrity crush has been a tie between Eric Stoltz and Sam Elliott. And I've never seen Mask. The scene in Some Kind Of Wonderful, when Eric Stoltz kisses Mary Stuart Masterson in an auto shop? Wow. Just ...wow. And people wonder why I married a mechanic.


4. I have seven robes. My favorite is black velvet trimmed with pink satin. I only have one pair of slippers, ratty old sock monkey house shoes.


5. I am secretly obsessed with dishes and glasses. I almost always browse through the dish section of whatever store I'm shopping in, even the dollar store. At one time, I had three sets of every day plates, two sets of outdoor plates, two sets of fancy dishes and my late MIL's china. It is a sickness, but I am trying to get better. I am down to one set of outdoor dishes, one set of every day and the china. That hurts me in ways you cannot imagine.

6. I am trying to write a book. Currently, I have three novels in progress. None of them are past the halfway mark.

7. Every car I have ever owned has been either white or maroon. This is not my choice since I have never chosen my own car, with the exception of the Vanagon. And even that, I told Mr. Clairol, "I want a Vanagon," and he made it happen. I'm not sure how I feel about this. A little resentful, a little taken care of. It's a delicate balance. I am sure that my next car will be blue.

So there you have it. Seven random facts about me. Scintillating, no? I'm off to tag seven blogger friends.

Welcome to My World

It's a crazy one. Here's the guide.


Mr. Clairol: My darling husband and love of my life. He's a mechanic, dyes his hair platinum blond and drives to work on a Vespa. I swear he isn't gay.


Drama Queen: My fourteen year old daughter who is frighteningly brilliant and gorgeous to boot. Of course, I am her mother.


Missy Hoohaw: The four year old daughter. She loves animals and roughhousing and earned her name by being a 28 year old Marine in a preschooler's body. No, she doesn't swear and drink. But she can run twenty miles in the rain and give a mighty Hoo-rah.

Big Red: Our toddler son, who is redheaded and proud of it. He's got a healthy temper and the sweetest smile this side of the Mississippi, so it evens out. I was worried about defending him from his sisters at first. Now, I worry about the girls.


The Beast: Our dog, who is a mutt, heavy on the Great Dane. He's named after a heavy metal guitarist in my husband's all time favorite band. This says it all, believe me.


This is my life. Try not to be too jealous.
