Lightening Online

Jenn at Jenn’s Den has tagged me for this meme.

Here are the meme rules:

Rules:
1- Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2- Share 7 random and or weird things about yourself.
3- Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4- Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here goes with 7 things about ME:

1. My favourite soft toy as a child was named “Doggy Pussy”. I was obviously a rather confused child with a severe lack of creativity or ability when it came to naming my toys. LOL. He was a very faithful friend though and has absorbed truck loads of tears in his (and my) lifetime. I still have him. He lost his nose and both arms have been resewn a number of times. The fur is almost thread-bare. But he has pride of place stuffed in the bottom of my wardrobe somewhere! :-/

2. I eat chicken chips (the “Arnott’s” or “Smiths” kind that is - some of you may call them crisps) with ice cream. Yeah, I know it sounds disgusting but you have to TRY it before you ditch the idea. Don’t ask me why but the two go together quite well. It has become a favourite Friday night dessert in our house. It took my DH a LONG time to convince me to try it but once I did - I was hooked.

3. I have a tendency to end up in the middle of a circle of people. Someone in high school pointed this out to me. I’m still not sure if it’s because I like being the centre of attention or because I’m so short that everyone can just speak over the top of my head!

4. When my first child was born I made a conscious decision that I wanted to see him laugh at least once every day of their life. Not sure exactly where that came from or if it’s even a reasonable goal to have. That particular child is actually growing up to be quite a comedian and has the ability to make people laugh - what a gift!

5. I hate those hard 100s and 1000s on fairy bread (I like the soft “dollar sweets” or whatever they’re called) but still like freckles (they’re a chocolate covered with the hard round 100s and 1000s). In fact, I’m eating some right now (which is why I thought of this).

6. My favourite movie is “Pretty Woman” which I find rather strange given that I don’t agree with prostitution. My favourite part is where Vivien returns to Rodeo Drive with her hands full of packages to say “BIG mistake” to the stuck up boutique that refused to serve her because of the outfit she’d been wearing. I don’t like the attitude that having money makes you a better person.

7. My favourite number is the number 7!

So there you have it. Some a definitely weird. Some are just random. I’ll let you decide for yourself which are the weird ones. LOL.

Now for the hardest part, who do I tag? I know I’ve seen this meme on some other blogs so if I tag you and you’ve already done it, just let me know.
