Am I really doing this?

Here's Two Tags for the Price of One...

My friend Lisa as Growing Up Mo' tagged me for this photo shoot and...

Here are the rules:
1) Take a picture of yourself right NOW!
2) DON'T change your clothes; DON'T fix your hair... Just take a picture.
3) Post that picture with NO editing.
4) Post these instructions with your picture.
5) Tag 10 people to do this.

So, here it is...



Also, Tim over at Fort Thompson tagged me a few days ago for 6 Random Things About Me:

Here are the rules:1) Link to the person who tagged you.2) Post the rules on your blog (copy and paste 1-6).3) Write 6 random things about yourself.4) Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them.5) Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.6) Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

6 Random Things About Me:
1. My ears are not identical; one is indented and the other really isn't.
2. I can sing the names of the 50 states in alphabetical order.
3. My first car was a 1961 VW beetle. Said car broke down all the time leaving me stranded or knocking on people's front doors for help...back when cell phones were big bricks and very few people actually had them.
4. I was raised in the suburbs of what was then West Houston and we had chickens and ducks as pets.
5. I played the flute in junior high and the piano for a while too.
6. I recently "lost" one of my first houseplants - a ficus treee that I bought my Sophomore year in college when it was about 10" tall. It grew to about 3ft and has moved homes 8 times. This summer it would have been 15 years old. So sad. I laid it to rest in my flower bed out back which means I tossed it outside a few weeks ago and it probably froze two nights ago, so if it wasn't really dead yet, now it is. Tiffanie - I bought that plant when we lived in the scary apt after the sorority house.

So I guess now I have to tag people. I guess I'll let you off the hook and let you decide which tag you want to participate in - photo shoot or random thoughts - but you know, you'll win lots of bloggy points if you do both! Oh, and I'm going with tagging only 6 people because I'm still feeling fairly freshmanlike in the blogosphere.

1. Tiffanie at Manic Mommy Musings

2. Jennifer at Uzmann Updates

3. Amy at Tennisballs and Ladybugs

4. Gayla at Life in Doha, Qatar

5. Jill at And A Bartlett in a Pear Tree...

6. Laurie at Storch Stuff

Have fun and let me know when your post is up!
