This is the first time I’ve actually participated in such funness. If it annoys you being tagged, then thank the lovely Velvethammer 
. She started it. It amazed me, yet it didn’t, the things I have in common with Velvet.
The Rules:
Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of each 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.
- I met my current (lol – only) husband when I was 15. I picked him out of a yearbook. I simply pointed to a picture of a boy I thought was cute, and said to a friend of mine, “Bring him to me.” For those of you who are single and looking for love, I highly recommend this method
- I have the same birthday as Nebraska. Of course, Nebraska is much, much, much, older than I.
- I firmly believe that all my pets go to heaven. Though, there is this one parakeet that I could never tame, and she was quite the biter. I have to admit, I’ll be shocked if I see her there.
- Wyoming is the 3rd state I’ve lived in. I grew up in KS, spent 6 years in beautiful Nebraska, and have been in WY for the last 5 years.
- I like all the food that Velvethammer likes — even my steak cooked rare!
- I’ve had a job called riding pens when I was younger. Most of the people reading this will have no clue what that means
- My daughter actually wrote my final paper in my college art appreciation class. She was in 5th grade and it warranted me an “A”. Thanks Tieki.
- I’m the only person in my family with a college degree – well, my brother has an associates, but I went all the way baby!
Now, the hard part … choosing 8 victims:
- Everyone’s favorite elephant.
- Yeah Toast!
- The Political Cowboy
- My Words (I have to admit — I’ll be shocked if Jeffrey participates, but stranger things have happened. )
- Next Stop Lauderdale
- Defiant Infidel
- 4Simpsons
- Why not Angel?
“Bring him to me” – that’s hilarious!
These are great! I always love reading these and finding out funny and interesting things about people.

Thanks, Tammi!
“Bring him to me.” Does Ted know about this? (I’m still laughing… that’s fantastic.)

Wyoming is an awesome state. Was in Jackson in 1989. Wanted to live there before I got the colorado (retirement) bug!

Tammi,
Working on my post, which sounds like fun. I was giving a pass to helping your imprisoned husband – because that sounds like work.

Ohhhh …. I get it Bridget! Good!
Yes, keeping the hubby in line is work, but after 22 years I know all the tricks to keeping him captive

Your hubby capture methodology is very ingenious, Tammi, and at such a young age, too! I suspect your command “Bring him to me!” was an indication of your blossoming leadership qualities, yes?
I like rare steak, too… does that count as my #1 item?
Hmmm… tagged to reveal personal stuff, eh? I dunno…
In the first place, it would surely bore you.
Secondly, I have gone out of my way not to do that… I chose blogging to write about values, politics, beauty, friends and family.
However, I will think on this for a bit and see if I can come up with suitable items that don’t become non-prescription sleeping medication.

Hi DI,
Yes, the habits or facts certainly do not have to be anything too revealing personally. Knowing you, you can come up with a creative way of listing some items that keep all your mystery in tact
Yes, the husband finding was ingenious
Of course, there is a little more to the story. My best friend was dating a friend of mine from a nearby town, and I happened to have the yearbook from that nearby town. Also, I was always the third wheel tagging along on their dates, and so we came up with a brilliant idea to find me a boyfriend. Thus, we simply pulled out the yearbook and found the cutest boy we could
