I’ve been Tagged.
Posted by Michelle on January 22nd, 2009 . Filed under: Uncategorized .Laura tagged me – and since I want to play nice with my fellow blog girlies, I reckon I’ll play along. Thing is though, you’re supposed to tag 6 other people and, um, I don’t think I know 6 – LOL There’s Dawn, of course but I think she’s done this a million times.
So, I’ll tag Kerri – the other newbie out there and make her reveal details about herself – heh. If you don’t know Kerri – at least click on her name and check out that smokin’ hot butterfly card she made yesterday – it’s fantastic!
Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you (as I did above).
2. Mention the rules.
3. Tell 6 things about yourself.
4. Tag 6 other bloggers by linking to them.
5. Go to each person’s blog and leave them a comment to let them know they’ve been tagged.
So, here are 6 things about me:
1. I’m a little OCD. Not sure what qualifies as actually being OCD but I do things that have to be done a certain way. For example – when I put on deodorant, I use the roll-on, and I count the number of times I rub it under my armpit…I do 4 from side-to-side….then 3 from side-to-side…then 2…then 1. Yes – I put on a lot of deodorant – probably well more than necessary but I never want to be that fat person that smells.
2. I’m a perfume and purse snob. I figure being a big fat chick, I don’t get to wear name brand clothes, so I’m going to go extravagant on purses and perfumes. All my purses are Dooney & Bourke and I have about 20 of them that are all brand new. I bought some for my daughter too and she’s only 4 years-old. And perfumes – I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing something from AVON or the drug store; usually Lancome and Calvin Klein stuff.
3. I spoke Spanish before I spoke English. My mom was a single parent – father was in and out of our lives until he finally split before I was 7 – and between my beloved Yaya and Celia the next-door-neighbor who spoke no English, that’s what I learned first.
4. I have the hots for my Priest. I’m not going to Heaven, I know. But he’s hot – in the Simon Cowell kinda way. He’s kind of a jerk – and for some reason I LIKE THAT! He also works out and looks pretty good in a polo shirt. Yes – my husband knows all this…he knows he married a crazy one!
5. One of the saddest things about me or to me, I guess is that I can’t sing. The sad thing is – I used to be able to. I was a really good singer. Sang all through school and went to State Honor Choir. But when I got thyroid cancer and had the 2 surgeries to get my thyroid out, my vocal cords were permanently damaged and I’ll never sing like that again 🙁 It breaks my heart actually because I try to sing and it just comes out sounding like one of those outcasts on American Idol….sad.
6. I’m a shopper, a wrapper and a master planner. I totally get off on shopping year-round and getting amazing deals, inventorying gifts on a spreadsheet, wrapping and packaging the monthly gifts on the first weekend of the month, and starting Christmas wrapping on October 6th. Could be part of that OCD thing, or I could just be anal or something, who knows – but it’s like a mission for me to get these things done and in a certain way and by the self-imposed deadlines.
So there you go – a little bit about yours truly.

Okay, #1 CRACKS ME UP (not in a bad way though). I can just picture you in my head counting to yourself as you are rolling on your deodorant…LMAO!!! Thanks for playing!
