Tagged Again!

AlliCadem, over at Can I have some Whine... has tagged me on one of the latest memes. This one, at first, seems pretty easy. But the trick is to tell 5 facts that I haven't shared with y'all and that aren't tooooo personal. Hmmmm.......

Here are the directions: Write 5 random facts about yourself, and then list the names of 5 people whom you in turn infect. Also, leave a post to these people letting them know they have been infected

Five Facts:

1) I don't like hot tubs. Nope - I've tried. Honestly. When I had my condo I'd take some wine and head on down to the hot tub during those winter nights (hey, it get's cold down there) but I never could just sit in hot water. It's too damned hot. Yeah - not something I'm ever going to "need" in my life.

2) I'm shy. Really. Truly. Oh - I can fake otherwise, but deep down inside, I'm still that awkward 9 year old, too tall, too skinny, too clumsy. Don't know what to say, and terrified that I'll be rejected. If you were to meet me and we didn't know each other at all - you'd be amazed at the butterfies I'd be dealing with. I fight that every day.

3) I've been fired from two jobs. One because I was sooo young and didn't understand office politics. When you work with the bosses daughter - keep your mouth shut. The other - because I refused to break my word. If I make a promise it's not just lip service. I don't say something just to make someone happy. Not my style. Cost me a job. I can live with that.

4) Up until three years ago I was terrified of guns. TERRIFIED. I had been shot in the head as a youngster (I heard that! Be nice!) as well as had some "incidents" with my ex husband. It wasn't until I started reading blogs that I had the chance to "meet" people who respected guns, knew how to be responsible and I've learned - through them - that it's not the guns I need to be afraid of.

5) For someone who loves to cook as much as I do, and someone who can "food talk" with the best of the - I'm a picky eater. Really. I don't like broiled anything. I've tried. Can't get it past the fork. I only eat white meat chicken and turkey. Not thrilled about casseroles. Not a big fan of chocolate cake. The list could go on and on. Trust me. I like what I like, the way I like it prepared.

Now I'm supposed to tag five other people. Hmmmmm........I think I'll just leave that up to y'all. If you want to play along in the comments or - better yet - post it on your site and leave me a trackback. It's not a bad exercise for a Sunday morning.
