TAG!!!
I woke up this morning in the BEST mood ever. I went out Saturday night and saw some old friends I haven't seen in years. It was absolutely wonderful. Then I check my mail and TA DAAAAA I got tagged by Relynn

The tag rules are:
1. When tagged, place the name of the person and URL on your blog
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Write 7 things about yourself
4. Name your favorite weblogs
5. Send an e-mail letting those bloggers know they have been tagged
So here are my 7 things:

1. I have a horrible time making decisions. It doesn't matter if the question is a life changing one or just what to have for dinner. I waffle and debate and consider and rethink. Then I change my mind.

2. Ever since I was young I wanted to be a performer. I wanted to sing and when my family kept telling me I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, I decided I wanted to be a dancer. When that obviously wasn't going to happen I wanted to become a comedian. Then I wanted to be an actress. I have always believed I should be on stage somewhere. No wonder I am not happy working in an office!

3. I love to drive. I long to get in the car and just go. I don't much care where I end up, just as long as I can put the windows down and the radio up and leave the world behind. Daniel and I used to refer to it as getting the "F*** Outta Dodge". There is a certain feeling you get, like the further you get away from home, the lighter your burdens become. We would drive and drive until we started to feel free and then spend a good 5 minutes laughing hysterically at how good it felt.

4. I have a bulletin board at my desk with photos. Included are 3 photos of Daniel, one of Daniel and I together at Halloween, one artistic shot-which no one recognizes is actually me.
"Woah, who is that? She's hot." *Interest*
"Ummm... thats me."
*Blank stare* "Nuh-uh."
*Sigh*
The remaining photos are of my kitties, one shot of Valletta at night and one shot Daniel and I took of the sunset from Sach's Bridge in Gettysburg. You can see kites flying in the far distance, 2 of them... A good metaphor for Daniel and I. Flying free, yet grounded. Side by side, yet not together. I lost my wind and a gust broke his string. I crashed back to the ground and he flew away never to be seen again. Life is funny sometimes.

5. I love office supplies. I can spend as much time in Staples as I do in Borders. I love lookinbg at Post-its and pens, calendars and dayplanners, desk organizers and gasgets. All my office supplies at work are purple. My gel mouse pad, gel keyboard wrist pad, tape dispenser, staple remover... all purple. Now I want green.

6. Speaking of Borders... Thats my home away from home. I can (and often do) spend hours either knitting in the cafe or perusing books. I mean, seriously people, scones, bathroom, coffee, books. What more does one need to survive?

7. I have only ever been on 3 "real" vacations in my life. When I was 13 my mom and I went to Florida for a week. When I was 22, Karen and I went to Florida for a week and in Sept 2006, I went to Ohio for 5 days for Dawn's wedding. Other than those trips the most I have done is take a day or over night trip. I plan on changing that next year as I am saving for Ireland!!!
