I got tagged again!

Laura over at Vitamin Sea tagged me for a fun little meme. I know I need to post about my weekend, but am just being lazy right now.

So this is the deal:

1. Pick up the nearst book.
2. Open to page 123
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the next three sentences
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

Soooo...here it is -

The book is Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende. Page 123, the 6th, 7th and 8th sentences are as follows:

"...They say that the steamships plow right ahead; they are not at the mercy of the wind, and are bigger and faster. Sailing ships are a thing of the past."

Feliciano went ahead with his plans, but experience had taught him not to disdain his wife's financial premonitions.

I'm not even that far ahead yet in this one. I brought it with me over the weekend, thinking I could catch up, but noooo.... I ended up having no time for reading! I will say that so far, I do like this book. A little slow at first, but it's picking up. Not like the books I usually read, but change is good, right? I'll let y'all know more when I get it finished. In the meantime, I will say that I highly recommend Duma Key by Stephen King. Awesome. 5 Thumbs Up with a snap!

Oh, so now I have to tag 5 people. Hmmm....ok....I'll tag the following folks. If I tag you, do not feel like you have to do this!!! No obligations here!

1. Suhzon - http://www.urolive.blogspot.com/

2. "Penny" - http://www.dungareesablaze.com/

3. Misti (I know you're out of town, but maybe when you get back?)- http://www.oceanicwilderness.com/

4. Sophie Mae (sorry to tag you again, but I'd like to hear what you're reading!) - http://www.tacachale.blogspot.com/

5. Hmmm....okaaaay...how about Chris - http://mscellania.blogspot.com/

*******************************************************************

Just a side note: I am through with the situation in the previous post. I have better things to write about and think about than that. I am not a mean person, but push me too far for no good reason and I'll fight back, especially to defend my friends. Period. End of it! I wasn't going to name names or post any links, but since the other person seems to think it's ok, here is the link to the blog in question: http://www.queeniesplace.com

Tag, You're It!

I've Been Tagged

Ann (Sandcastle Momma) tagged me for this little meme.

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 4 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answers.

a) What was I doing 10 years ago?

10 years ago was 1998...let's see, I was dating George and working at a marina. My dad had died a year earlier and we were all still trying to figure out how to get along without him. Life was actually simpler back then. My oldest was 9 and still in elementary school. Amazing how fast time flies!

b) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today:

Relax in our new kiddie pool! (Yes, I said kiddie pool...stop laughing!).
Work on the landscaping in the front yard.
Grab a few caches later in the evening when it's not quite so hot.
Wrap up a couple books that I need to send for bookmooch.
Go buy some antiperspirant and Neutragena face wash.


c) Snacks I enjoy:

Pringles Szechuan BBQ chips (wonderful!)
Anything chocolate
Grapes (frozen ones in the summer)
Strawberries


d) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

Buy my mom, sons, sister and friends anything they want!
Buy a jeep for caching.
Give LOTS of money to Lloyd Brown who runs the Wildlife Rescue of Dade County.
Visit every place on the planet that I ever want to.


e) Places I have lived:

Miami
Houston, Texas
Spring, Texas


And who am I tagging?

Misti at Oceanic Wilderness
"Penny" at Dungarees Ablaze
"Olive" at UR Olive
Blue Momma at Life in the Fishbowl

Hope nobody gets mad at me for tagging them. Just remember, you don't have to do it if you don't want to!
