8 Random Things-Yes I did it

I’ve been tagged for the 8 Random Things meme by my new cyber gurlfriend, Liz Ditz, who mentioned that I was homeschooling three kids. No, Liz, it’s FIVE, so you can really get an understanding about my random thoughts…Liz was sent to Dahgurl by DH. Since you’re new, I am going to do something I rarely do…complete the meme.

There are rules, you know:

1. Let others know who tagged you.
2. Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
3. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
4. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them they have been tagged.

Here are my 8 Random Thoughts (or comments/rants/pissy moments…some sorta deep maybe):

 

1. I take personal offense to people who are perpetually late. I see it as a sign of disrespect, disregard, self-centeredness and overall, irresponsible.
2. If I didn’t become a wife and then mother when I did, I would have been a NY-based fiction and screenplay writer, who danced for Alvin Ailey on the side (well, they probably wouldn’t have taken me, but I would have been a helluva back-up dancer).
3. I love eating fresh fruit and vegetables, don’t like much juice or soda (filtered water is all I drink for the most part and soy milk with my sweets), but have no problem eating raw chocolate chip cookie dough (correction: Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough).
4. I had enough credits in undergrad to major in Math. Spanish and English. I was intending to teach all three, but my father had open heart surgery and I didn’t want to use our family’s resources to pay for another semester to complete the teaching requirements for all three. Settled on English.
5. I don’t consider myself vain, but I do wonder if my stomach is ever going to go back to being the six pack it once was, so instead of working out to shrink and tone, I just put on a body slimmer/girdle. I wish more people would do that.
6. I am very competitive, but like Micheal Jordan, not with other people, but with myself. I always want to be better and I am very unforgiving of myself when I didn’t do my very best.
7. When I was about 6 and traveling with my grandparents to their hometown of Belden, MS, I hardheadedly opened the back door. I started to scream as a chicken with its head cut off ran through the house. I’m surprised that I eat chicken today.
8. I was the tallest person in my fifth grade class (even taller than the teacher) and I loved football, so the boys called me Too Tall Jones (80’s pro football player).

O.K., You’re It!-I don’t normally do this, so you all bare with me. Just for kicks…don’t get mad.

1. The Fashionista -I can only imagine what you have to share.
2. Ebony Mom- You know I could do any of this without you.
3. Dr. Lester Spence-You are definitely on the least likely to respond list, but I wanted you to try it…it would be great for your readers.
4. Daddy Daze-You may not see me every week, but still love and appreciate your support.
5. Damomma-Ditto for you, damomma. You’re not forgotten. Hopefully I haven’t been either.
6. Inherent Passion- You’ve hit me up with memes so many times and I didn’t do them. Could you forgive and do this one?
7. Chronicles of Mommyhood- Just like Inherent Passion and Ebony Mom, you are vintage, one of the originals. Much appreciate your support.
8. Why are Black Women Angry - I figured you would love this…I know you have a lot of great random thoughts.
