A Game of Tag and I'm "It"!

Most of you are probably already familiar with the fun little online GAME OF TAG that's currently being played all over Blogland.

I've been 'tagged' by the lovely and talented Stacy from Conspicuous Style.  If you're searching for beautiful interior design inspiration, be sure to visit Stacy's amazing blog.  You won't be disappointed!  And now, on with the game...

Let's Play Tag!

Let them know you've tagged them.

My answers to Stacy's 11 (really hard!) questions:

1.  How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?

I don't give much thought to my age, and it's a bit unsettling when I suddenly remember how OLD I really am!  I feel like I'm the same person I was in my twenties, only now I'm a little wiser and a little slower. 

2. What is your least favorite quote?

"Love means never having to say you're sorry." ...not in my world!

3. What’s something you know you do differently than most people?

I cut and colour my own hair.  I don't really have a logical explanation for why I feel this way, but, I truly dislike going to a hair salon.

4. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do?

It would be amazing to explore the magnificent architecture and scenic beauty of France and Italy.  The likelihood of my ever travelling to Europe is slim to none, but, a girl can dream...

5. Has your greatest fear ever come true?

No, and I hope and pray it never does!

6. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?

Since I have no way of knowing what the future has in store for me, I'd much rather hold onto all of the wonderful memories from my past. Granted, there are a few not-so-wonderful moments I'd be more than willing to forget!

7. What would be the hardest thing for you to give up?

I wouldn't want to face a single day without my FAITH.  It's what grounds me, shapes me, offers me hope, gives me strength, and makes me who I am.

8. What's your worst/best memory of high school and why?

My fondest memory of high school is of the night I met this tall, super cute guy at a town carnival.  I thought he was really sweet and funny, and it was pretty obvious be really liked me, too.   I never imagined at the time that I'd still be laughing at his stories and sharing his dreams some twenty-eight years later.  How lucky am I!?!

9. What is the most rewarding experience you have had and why?

Being a mom and raising my son and daughter has definitely been the most gratifying experience of my life.  I've loved watching them transform from beautiful little babies into the amazing young adults they are today.

My Babies!

10. If you had the chance to go back in time for 24 hours, where and when would you go?

Shorty after we got married, my hubby accidently recorded a movie over top of our church ceremony video (this really happened!). Now, I don't have any way to relive the day of our wedding.  I'd love to go back in time, make extra copies of the tape, and store them some place safe where they wouldn't be destroyed! 

11. If you could have only 3 electrical appliances in your house, what would they be and why?

I'd choose a refrigerator (for storing fresh food), and my washer and dryer.  Of course, I'd have to visit the local coffee shop on a daily basis, my hair would be a disaster without my blow dryer and curling iron, but, gosh darn it, our clothes and bedding would be spotlessly clean and April-fresh!

Not Gonna Happen!
