A while ago I was tagged by the talented Maria and amazing Miss*Laurence to tell 7 random things about myself. Oh dear, why do I always have a hard time with these kind of things? I always think of myself as pretty much an open book, so trying to think of random things that I do or like that nobody knows about me is a bit difficult. But I dug deep and these tidbits may not be very exciting but here they are anyway. . .

1. My daughter became engaged over the weekend....Yikes! Can that even be possible?????

2. My "bestest friend" in the whole wide world is coming into town this evening.

3. Unlike most of the population, I don't like to walk barefoot. . .wearing flip-flops is about as bare as my feet get.

4. I used to sell Longaberger Baskets many, many, MANY years ago back when that dear daughter that I mentioned above was a toddler!

5. I share the same birthday as Grandma Moses (the same date, NOT year!)

6. I think it would be fun to star in a Broadway musical - nevermind that I don't sing or dance!.

7. I want to take conversational French lessons someday - 2 years in high school just wasn't enough.

Well, I am off to tidy up a bit around here for my friend's visit. We're going into the city today (Chicago) to roam around and shop and eat!
