eight random things meme

I was tagged by Dee over at BubbaChic for this. Her blog is just adorable, full of the sweetest handmade things and thoughts on her life with her children--I know you will follow the link over to her blog, but please come back and visit me too :)  Ok, I am done being the insecure blogger. . . here are the rules for the game:

*link to the person who tagged you
*post the rules
*name 8 things others don't know about you
*link to 8 other bloggers

1. I am about to turn 30 in a few weeks (Dee also listed this as one of her 8 things)

2. I get easily overwhelmed by too many choices.  That's one of the reasons I could never be a scrapbooker.

3. When I am stressed out I have to laugh--sometimes in my head I imagine circus music playing ("doo-dee-do-dee-do-dee-doodee-doo-doo . . .")

4. Someday this winter I plan to just stay in bed all day and have my meals brought to me and watch movies and read under the covers and just rest.

5. I have a secret supply of candy in with my crafting and sewing supplies--and it's the really good stuff.

6.  I wish I could step right into any book illustrated by Richard Scarry or Tasha Tudor.

7. I've listened to Bob Dylan records every day of my life (almost!) for the past 15 years.

8. I think chipmunks are just the cutest thing ever.

Ok, now I get to tag eight people. Here they are:

Lissadell from The Owl and the Pussycat, Jenny from Wildwood Cottage (whom I always tag, sorry if I'm annoying), Mary Beth from Salt and Chocolate,  Lizz from Red Dirt Mother (whose etsy shop animals are so awesome--I just got a husky for Ivo and it is so cute and beautifully made), Mom Unplugged ,  Kristin at Prairie Daze, the beautiful smiling Jessamyn at Love This Life (she has the sweetest mama-baby banner picture), and the last spot is for anyone else who wants to play. Just leave a comment here and we will all know to visit you and see your eight things.  And if anyone I tagged is too busy or has already done this a million times, that's ok, you won't flunk my blog if you don't play.

I too am thirty, welcome my friend! ;)
#3 is just plain FUNNY!
#5 Chocolate???
#6 *LOVE* Tasha Tudor!
#7 Yay for Bob Dylan!

haha! You got me chuckling away! I did try my hand at scrapbooking, but it took my free time away from sewing so I didn't get very far! I am also wondering how I have managed to miss out on Bob Dylan...? Any favourite songs I should look up?

Definetly going to remember the circus music, just the image of it now makes me smile!

Thanks for playing along!

Thanks for the tag!!! I have a quick typepad question. What program do you use for your banner? The one that I was using is no longer working and I'm still trying to figure out typepad help area. Thanks!

I love these memes because you get to find out such interesting things about people! I'm dreaming of your #4, so be sure and let me know if you actually pull that one off! I love the idea of your secret candy stash- I have a weakness for anything chocolate-mint flavored. I love Richard Scarry (Lowly Worm is my favorite and Tasha Tudor too! And chipmunks- how could they possibly be cuter?!

Here's the link to when I did the meme shortly after I started the blog-

Thanks for the tag Amanda! I did this one back in June

(link:http://unplugyourkids.blogspot.com/2007/06/eight-random-things-about-me.html)

and it was so hard to come up with 8 things then, I am not sure I could think of 8 different things now!

Speaking of 8, I do have 8 cats. There, that's something new!

Happy Upcoming Birthday! You're making me feel old too. I want to try your #4. Let us know how that feels! I also think I should try #3, except that now that you mention it, I will have circus music stuck in my head all day.

Thanks again and enjoy your day!

Uh oh, the link in my comment didn't work. Hopefully this one will in case anyone wants to visit.

[Lizz]

Mom Unplugged, I'm happy to know that someone has more cats than I. I have 5.

When a person can no longer laugh at himself, it is time for others to laugh at him.

[Tote Bags]

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is.

[Burberry Handbag]

Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence.

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.

Some people like my advice so much that they frame it upon the wall instead of using it.
