I've been shot---umm---Tagged!

I was tagged by Cheryl St.John. She's my good friend who is a published author. I think she's closing in on 30 published books. Check out her blog--she's a hoot! We have lots of fun together because she has such a wonderful outlook on life and a deep faith that I admire.

God bless her, but she did the last tag I sent her way, so I feel obligated to return the favor.

Here are the rules:
a. Link to the person who tagged you.
b. Post the rules on your blog.
c. Write six random things about yourself.
d. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
e. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.
f. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

Six random facts about me:
1. I'm part Lebanese (meaning decendants of the country of Lebanon). And for those of you who haven't seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, might I suggest renting it and calling me up. We laughed so hard at this movie that could have been called My Big Fat Lebanese Life!!! I can put names to many of the interesting relatives in the movie.
2. I have a 'thing' about covers. I don't care how hot it is, I really need a blanket to sleep. Usually, I'm too warm when sleeping, but can't live without the blanket. (My theory is my super-cold mother probably never let me sleep without a blanket on. And I am doing my best to train my kids in the same manner. LOL!)
3. My favorite food used to be steak. However, it has changed a bit and now it's Chicken & Dumplings. BTW--that's a tough dish to find in the midwest. Anybody know of a good home cooking place around here??
4. Sean and I met the first day of college. I sat by him in the dining hall because he looked 'safe'. Guess that worked out for me, huh? Oh, just to set the record straight, I wasn't interested in "Just Friends Sean" in a romantic sense. He will tell you that he chased me until I caught him.
5. In High School, my friends and I started our own little group called A.M.A.L.S. I'd tell you what it means, but this blog is rated PG and I'd have to toss in a bad word. Suffice it to say, this was after we'd all been dealt crushing blows by our ex-boyfriends---sort of a, um, well--therapy group specializing in paper products from the bathroom.
6. I had the coolest thing as a kid. It was called a Zoom-cycle. Sort of a plastic motorcycle looking thing for pre-schoolers. We lived at the bottom of a hill on the corner. So I'd go up the hill, pump the handlebars (it revved the motor sound up and gave you a little more speed) and take off down the hill as fast as I could. I'd pump the handles for more speed all the way down the hill. Just when you thought I'd go into the street, hit the stop sign or hit the fire hydrant, I'd throw my weight to round the corner. I'd stop pumping the handles then and keep my feet off the ground to see how far I could get. I believe three houses was my record. Yes, my mother has many grey hairs from these escapdes.

The six lucky ducklings that I'm tagging are:
Sherilyn (because she tagged me last time)

Jennifer (because she tagged Sherilyn who tagged me last time--yes, it's a theme park)

Ann Marie (because I want everyone to go to her blog and keep praying for Coy)

Brenda (because I want her to update her blog with a new post)

Holly's Cakes (because Holly was kind to do my last tag--I don't really think she wants to or will do this one, but I want everyone to check out her cake blog and see the wonderful creations!!! I really, truly love---all of them---but the preggo woman cracks me up.)

Bored Penguin (I don't even personally know Bored Penguin--who might be Todd, but through a comment on Cheryl's blog, I found Bored Penguin's blog. This will make you put a smile on your face. I urge you to read from the bottom up--go back to the first post and follow his trip to China. I promise you will enjoy it!)
