Tagged!
Hey, this is the first time anyone has ever tagged me to do a meme! I'm not sure if I should be pleased that someone has finally thought of me, or frustrated that I now have to think up eight random things about myself. I think the former more than the latter. Thanks, Susan!
1. My favorite food ever is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and vanilla ice cream. And it has to be the spongy kind of cake.
2. My favorite flowers are daisies.
3. I am 5'9" tall, but I usually tell people I am 5'10" because I believed that to be true for so long until I was measured again a few years ago.
4. I have a degree in Computer Science, and I worked for a few years as a computer programmer until I burned out at the 70-hour-a-week job.
5. I grew up in Columbia, MO and went to Hickman High School, home of the fighting Kewpies. (As in Kewpie dolls. No shit.)
6. When I was a kid, I had a Springer Spaniel named Sammy, and I still miss him sometimes. (My mother gave him away after my parents divorced). Some day, when the cats are gone, I hope we get another dog, only my dream dog is an Old English Sheep Dog because I love how floppy and happy they look.
7. Someone of authority and in a position of insight told me yesterday that I'm doing all the right things as a parent, and I really needed to hear it.
8. I can't wait to order more yarn for dyeing, and I feel a little guilty about that because there are so many other projects that need my attention. And speaking of which, if you really want to know why those socks are called rainbow barf, scroll through the posts from the last month. I've explained it at least twice now. You can just do a search using Edit-Find in This Page and type in barf to get to the references.
There! Thinking up random things about myself is really hard. So now I've got to tag eight more suckers. Let's see... my darling husband (who probably won't do it), Jen (please forgive me for linking you), Beth, Knittymama, Connie, Rox, Kelle, and Flan.
Rules:
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts about themselves.
2. People who are tagged write a blog post about their 8 random things and post the rules.
3. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and post their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Hey, if you really want a dog, you might be able to have them all get along! We have 4 cats (had five, one died suddenly 3 months ago, and it is so hard not to mention him) and 3 dogs. They all get along well. Integrated at various times, ages, experiences etc.
CS degree, huh? No wonder I like you so much! I'm finishing mine up in a couple weeks!
Sorry I missed this before! Thanks for being a good sport and sharing your fun facts! Hope to see you at MKG again soon. Amy Singer from Knitty.com will be there in June.
