Friday Focus: Tag...I'm It!

Posted on September 30, 2011 at 7:00 AM

I found this in my spam folder. Really, I must check this folder more often. Anyway, read on to find out what this is all about.:)

Have you ever played a GLOBAL game of tag?

Well, I'm It.

I've been tagged by children's author Miranda Paul.

Rules (if you're tagged): You must be tagged by someone; list 10 random facts about yourself; tag four more people.

Ready or not, here I go!

1.  I am often very quiet, but am very much a people person. I love being around others.

 

2.  I am homesick for my homeland, but know I will probably never return.

 

3.  I love wide open spaces. Give me a farm any day - preferably with no houses anywhere near.

 

4.  I have a fear for lifts (sorry don't know what you call them in the USA).

 

5.  Having two disabled children has opened my eyes to how privileged "normal" people are.

 

6.  A few years in the USA has changed my feelings about coffee. I think I've probably had about 3 mugs of coffee in the last 3 or 4 months.

 

7.  I prefer savory foods over sweet, although I don't say no to a banoffee pie.

 

8.  Pigs are one of the most fascinating animals around. I'm looking after one at the moment. He is a real character.

 

9.  The Little Prince is probably my all time favorite book.

 

10.  I live with a menagerie.:)  Dogs, chickens, fish, hmm, I think my family might come into that too.;)

 

OK! Passing it on..

 

1.  Katrina delallo

 

2.  KatieC

 

3.  Ruth Schiffman

 

4.  Allyn Stotz

 

And now that I've tagged some more people its your turns to pass on the tag.

Is a lift an elevator? If so, I'm with you! They freak me out. In college I lived on the 6th floor of my dorm. (That was the top floor.) I took the stairs all the time. I was too afraid to use the elevator. It was always breaking down and I didn't want to be stuck in it.

I suppose a fear of lifts goes with preferring open spaces. Didn't know you were a farm girl at heart!

I would like to get to know a pig. I've enjoyed the ones I've looked at.

Terri, sorry to hear that you miss your homeland. =( Reading your list makes me realize we have more in common than I'd thought: like being quiet, yet also being a people person; preferring wide open space; and growing fond of coffee ...

That is just it Kelly. I did get stuck in one. It was an old fashioned one where you opened the door stepped in, then pushed a door across. Then you pushed the button for your floor. There were three of us in the lift at the time. It got stuck between floors. And was no fun. I will go in them now, if there is someone with me.

Thanks Anne, but in my case there is no connection. In my reply to Kelly I've given more detail on my fear for lifts. Nothing to do with open spaces, I'm afraid, although I do get claustrophobic (sp?) in smaller spaces.

Oh and farm girl in heart and more. I love living on a farm. Oh, and getting to know pigs is great. My husband runs the pig and Wild Boar on this farm. Pigs are so intelligent.
