A Meme
Thursday, May 3, 2007 at 06:52PM I've been tagged by Terri at Keeping the Pace for this meme:
Here's how it works: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to tag others and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged .
1. I have lived in 12 different homes and four different states since we have been married.
2. I taught preschool and PreK in "another life" and went back to college when my kids were little.
3. I’ve been teaching at home for twelve years and still have two years to go! What will I do with myself when we are finished?
4. When I was 16 years old, I was escorted from the Louvre by two burly guards and told not to come back until the next day . **blush**
5. Every house we have ever sold was bought by the first couple who came through after we listed. Actually, every house if you count the contract that fell through on the first house we sold. We put it back on the market and, you guessed it, it sold a second time to the first people who looked at it. Three times we have sold our house before the sign was in the yard, and twice before we finished signing the papers with the realtor. Once we got full price and once we got more than our asking price. (yes, I live a charmed life!)
6. I used to be a political junkie. I had my coffee every morning with Brian Lamb. Yes, I did. I taped the Clinton Impeachment Hearings and Trial and watched them every day after we finished our schooling. I assembled and quilted several quilts and wall hangings during that time because I do not like to watch TV, so I quilted to assuage my guilty feelings about wasting time.
7. I have planted at least one bleeding heart at every home we have ever owned. I have scattered bleeding hearts all over the place! (hehehe, I love telling people that!) The three I have here are just getting ready to bloom.
I’m only going to tag one--my good friend, MissM. She's been too quiet lately. . .I think she's got her nose in a book.

Ha! You know me too well. Actually, I wish I had my nose in a book! I've been busy and sick but I'll play your meme game very soon: when I feel a little more coherent. But before I do, would you please tell us the story that goes along with question 4? I absolutely have to hear it! I cannot imagine you kicked out of anywhere!
Here you go. I couldn't wait or keep you waiting. Going to bed now. Night!

Nothing is working for me! Sorry. Feel free to delete the above. My answers are at my blog for you. Sorry.
Thrown out of the Louvre! I must say, I'm a bit surprised!
Fun meme!
What fun to read, Kim. I'm learning things about you all the time!
Last year my chickens ate the bleeding heart that Brian planted. It came back this year and is in bloom now. Thankfully.
