Remember when we used to play Tag as children ? This little Tag is going round and round the Bloggerverse so I thought I would chime in. The rules are: list 7 Random Things about Yourself and answer some questions. I think Tags are fun & might spark some conversations or at least a Blog Post, so enjoy !
7 Random Things about Me
- I cannot sleep with the TV on, if I do, I incorporate dialogue from what is on TV into my dreams and the results are often very crazy ! This is usually the only time that I dream & I usually wake up feeling like I haven't slept at all. Somehow music does not have the same effect on me though.
- I did not ride on a plane until was 23 years old. Up until that point, I had only travelled to the the 3 states that immediately bordered the state that I was born in.
- Since then I have managed to travel to 40 US States, Canada, Jamaica, The Netherlands & Belgium. The 10 states I have not been to are: Vermont, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, West Virginia and New Hampshire.
- I never wear colored polish on my nails or my toes. I do get French Pedicures on my feet regularly but I only use clear coat on my nails. This has been for the last 10 years for sure. I don't really know why because I used to wear colored nail polish all the time.
- Do you remember Hair-Rep ? It used to be in a small black tin can with a red top that you used to have to remove with a butter knife. When I was about 7 yrs old, one of my older male cousins threw one at me because I was standing in front of my grandmother's console TV trying to get his attention. I didn't think he was going to throw the can AND he thought I was going to move. The result was 8 stitches in my forehead. I still have the scar if you look closely. My cousin wished he had hit the TV instead of me when my Grandmother got through with him !
- I am a true Cancer. Meaning that I fit about 90% of the female personality traits you find when you look it up on the Zodiac charts. It is amazing how accurate some of that stuff can be.
- I eat sugar on my Grits. Let me explain. I grew up in the Midwest. We ate Grits, like we ate Cream of Wheat & Oatmeal which meant lots of sugar & butter in it. My Beau whose roots are in South Carolina thinks this is blasphemy ! LOL In fact, I was instructed to not let any of his family see me do this when he took me home to visit ! LOL

My cousins eat sugar on their grits....that is southern blasphemy!!!!! LOL
That is awesome you have travelled to so many of the states, I plan for Babe and I to do the same!
@ Tarsha
I knew there were others ! LOL
Traveling will change Babe's whole perspective. I think it opens up children to the opportunities in the world when their minds are still forming.
I eat sugar on my grits. I'm from Chicago. I also eat sugar on plain rice if there's no gravy involved. If there is cheese in the grits, I won't put sugar on them. Otherwise, sweeten me up!
You must get to Philly. That city is AWESOME! I loved it. I could totally see myself living there. Great history and culture and FOOD!
ARGH @ your grit preference! *lol* That is where we part ways, my dear cancer sister! I eat my grits with butter only, or with any combination of butter, cheddar cheese, bacon or scrambled eggs!
I'm also a very classic, textbook cancer chic.
I've been to all the states that you haven't, but you've got me way beat on the central and western part of the US. I love traveling!!
@Sayitlikethis.
I eat sugar on my rice too ! See its simple. If you are eating rice or grits for Breakfast then they need to be sweet. But if you are eating them as a side dish for lunch or dinner with some meat, then add gravy,cheese, etc. LOL
@mrstdj
I am really ready to do more international traveling now.
