In the last week or so, I’ve been tagged by four people: Cindy, Alyce, Amanda, and The Dynamic Uno. Since all of the tags require me to list six things about myself (well, technically one tag asked for seven), I decided to do one post in response to all four tags, since I’m sure that posting 24 (25) things about myself would be a bit much. Really, I know there’s only so much my dear readers can bear.

So…

Six Things About Me

1. I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar. Seriously, if Coffee-Mate (liquid only; none of that gross powdered stuff) and sugar were not available, I’d find another way to feed my need for caffeine. My husband is always amused at the pale color of my coffee by the time I’m done doctoring it. But this is the only way I like it. Lucky for me, it’s that time of year when some yummy new flavors of creamer are hitting the shelves…flavors like Gingerbread and Peppermint Mocha. Yum. Even better.

2. I am like my cat in this way: too much change makes me want to throw up. I am, however, different from her in that she proceeds to puke on the carpet, while I do not.

3. Whenever my husband is out of town, I stay up far, far too late. It doesn’t matter if I tell myself to head to bed with a book at 9:30. When 11:00 p.m. rolls around, I’m still watching TV or surfing the ‘net or something else. And I usually regret it the next morning.

4. Buying shoes is never a temptation for me. I must be missing the shoe-loving gene. However, I am always tempted to buy more books, family board games, notebooks, pens, and coffee mugs.

5. I’m really loving this new bubble bath stuff from Bath & Body Works, called “Sleep.” Most aromatherapy-type products are too smelly, too strong for me. But this stuff is subtle and relaxing.

6. I check my email a million times a day. I don’t respond to it that often — that’s more like once per day. But I’m always, always peeking to see if there’s anything new there. I’m trying to cut back.

…okay, and one more, to make sure I have fully satisfied all four tags.

7. I only ever skipped one class in high school. It was German — first period — and I wasn’t prepared for a test. I, lamely, hung out in the girls’ bathroom the whole time and read a book. What a geek. Oh, also, I never told my mom about that. Except she reads my blog, so I guess now she knows.

I won’t tag anyone specifically, but these memes are always good to do if you’re having Bloggers’ Block, so feel free to consider yourself tagged if you’re in need of a post idea. Let me know if you do it, though, so I can check out your answers.
