while I spill some beans about myself. I've been tagged by Robyn (hi you) and Wendy (hey woman). I am dull....dull as they come...so that's why I want you sitting---you know in case you fall asleep standing.
Here are the rules for the 7 others that I'm tagging--please don't hate me:
I'm tagging:
Instructions:
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself (on your blog, we all want to know them).
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Now for the fun and not-so-fascinating facts about Melissa--haha!
1- I'm a dancer---at heart. Started when I was a wee little one, continued on through college--and now I just cry when I see others dancing---I'm darn jealous---dancing in my seat while driving is as good as it gets now.
2- I'm tall---5'10". Used to hate it, now I love it.
3- I taught gymnastics shortly after my husband and I were married. Such a fun job---so much better than cleaning toilets at Arby's when I was 16.
4- I'm a tomboy. LOVE softball, horseback riding, a little b-ball, running (short distances---get all queasy with that long-distance stuff), fishing, and I even like hunting with my husband---totally fun! Oh...and I'm learning how to drive a motorcycle---can't quite make it out of 1st gear---but I'm OK with that.
5- I have a major thing for Tic-Tacs. I can't get enough---I have issues. The downside---I can eat them by the handfuls. The upside---I have the freshest breath around, hehe.
6- My husband has taught me bunches of times how to drive a stick shift...and I still can't....he had to get a truck that was an automatic just for me---true love, eh? I can however keep one moving while hauling hay.
7- I make some meeeeaan cookies. I sell them....for $1...they're big and warm and juicy. The men in town all get a little crazed look in their eye when they see me bring my basket of cookies to the store---like they never get them or somethin', haha.
Hey---wake up---I'm all done.
Can't wait to hear about you other girls!
Here are a few Lime Tart projects for you tonight. You can check them all out in the gallery here.
Well...gotta run. Today was wonderful---hope it was for you too!

I loved your facts melissa! Also so NOT what I had imagined for some either. Never thought you'd be tomboyish and tall! I would love to taste one of your yummy cookies too!

I really like this, though I don't have the time today. It was fun to read and not so boring. And now I have a taste for some cookies ... ;-)

LOL! I found your blog linked at 2 Peas and I had to comment on learning to drive a stick. My husband has tried to teach me many times and it always ends up with him nearly having a heart attack and me crying because he's being "mean." Thanks for the laugh.
