Gee thanks Jenny & Em

I’ve been tagged…here’s (here ARE) the rules:

1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Eight Random Facts About Me:

1. Like my friend Jenny, I’m also getting sort of green in my old age. I haven’t yet convinced Jonathan to switch to Cloth Diapers, but I really want to. After all these China lead paint toy recall thing, I’m getting increasingly wary of mass market stuff. Plus every time I change Madeline there are those little gel crystals all over her butt. I have to wonder if that’s a really good idea exposing her to that…..however, the Man who does the laundry isn’t into cloth diapers….or poop for that matter.

2. When we moved into our house I was excited about having the laundry in the basement so it would be out of the way. Two years later I think it’s a total pain in the butt to have it downstairs and I would LOVE to move it upstairs if we could (but we can’t, so I guess I’ll have to just deal)

3. I have an inability to keep a cell phone for more than a year without killing it. My new Krzr lasted less than 2 weeks before I somehow fried it. (thankfully it was under warranty)

4. I love to watch tattoo shows (Miami Ink, LA ink) even though I don’t have a tattoo and never will get one.

5. I also love to knit. Knitting while watching a tattoo show in combination is really very strange. I’m kind of obsessed with knitting these days actually, so much so that my fingers are sore from the hat that I’ve been working on. (note to self, size 6 needles and bulky yarn are NOT a good combination)

6. I would much rather be friends with men than women. Maybe it’s the having 4 older brothers thing….

7. I love reading celebrity gossip sites like pink is the new blog mostly because the writing is snarky.

8. I actually don’t mind watching episode after episode of Dora. Diego drives me crazy.

I do not have 8 friends who are blogging either and since Jenny & Emily both tagged me, I suppose I have to tag them back. I’m going to tag Jonathan & Joseph’s blog, but I doubt they will participate because 8 random facts about them are not very highly intellectual. Ali is just starting her blog, so she’ll play and Kelly probably will too. Keith will probably never respond. That’s about it!
