Nicki tagged me for a meme, so now I have to come up with seven random factoids about myself. The problem is most factiods about myself are random, so this sounds like an easy tag, but it's not. Which factoids will spark a conversation and which will just make you think I'm a bit crazy? This is my dilemma. Here's my best shot at it.
1. We went to Disney every year when we were kids. Our cousins lived in Florida, so we thought every kid went to Disney every year.
2. I skied once and only once. We went to Snowbird in Utah. It was great fun and I didn't break anything, so why push my luck. The entire time I was there, my ski instructor called me Stacy. I started answering to it by the end of the trip.
3. The first time I saw the University of Illinois was when I went down there for registration. I think about that a lot lately when I hear about high school students visiting college campuses.
4. I have read and debated the Federalist Papers. I can explain the nuances of the Founding Fathers' vision of the Constitution. Yeah, I'm a political junky.
5. I love pop music, and its parent Motown. If you cannot dance to it, why bother?
6. I hand quilt. At least I used to before the girls were born. Now I just admire quilts and create plans in my head.
7. Life has never been better than it is right now. What makes me happiest in the world is being with my husband and daughters. If you add a few friends to the mix, it's just bliss.
Now I get to tag a few people. There have been a lot of new people commenting on the blog lately, so I'm going to tag some of them. Here goes...
1. Missy at Babble On
2. Michelle at These are Words..."Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble"
3. Cindy W at PooBou
4. http://thiscrazythingcalledmotherhood.blogspot.com/
5. His Child at http://yoursweeteyes.blogspot.com/
6. Stitching Mama
7. Tasha at Tasha's Take. A special note to Tasha, who kindly suggested we could be blogging friends. Of course that would be fun! I apologize for my delayed response. I move on slow or slower most days.
I was going to tag Dana at Belly Hungry, but I couldn't decide how she would make it fit her blog. She has a pass on this one, but next time she's it.
Here are the rules:
Post the rules on your blog.
Write 7 random things about yourself.
Tag 7 people at the end of your post. (I was never one for rules.)
Pass on the tag.

Thanks for the tag, I'm going to have to think about it for a day or two to come up with 7 things. Hmmm...
I love your #7. And based on #4, I'm interested to hear your take on the upcoming election. (Don't know if you've written about it already, I might've missed it.) I'm always curious to know how other people perceive issues and rank their importance when choosing a candidate, even if the end result is a polar opposite of my viewpoint.
Hi Shari,
Thanks for acknowledging my invitation to be one of my blog friends. Thanks also for inviting me to this meme. At least this is not so restrictive kind of meme. Anything, as long as about us, is okay, which is okay with me.
I would not have known that you're a political junkie from reading your previous posts until now. So, this meme is a nice way to learn a bit more about you.
Good night,
Tasha
Thanks for playing! ;) Dang, you're lucky you got to go to Disney world every year... one of my favorite places on Earth!
Actually I've left comments on your blog before, but I think I probably used to leave them as "Beth" and then I changed it to my blog's name. :)
Thanks for the tag; it'll give me something to blog about tomorrow since I am having a major brain freeze and can't think of anything to post!
You and I share #3. I was accepted to two universities, and to this day have never seen my second choice (it was out of state and in-state tuition was less). Although I'm not a political junkie (at least I don't think I am), I do love history and I own "The Federalist" (the collection of Federalist papers) and hope to read it when I get back to reading 'real' books. I still cringe a little when people say we're a democracy when we're technically a representative republic. BTW, I LOVED the HBO series John Adams (which also gives some insights into the creating of the constitution)... not to mention a few comments on a National Bank (ah hem). Although I do not hand quilt, my grandmother did (and I have several in a cedar chest)... stop by and I'll pull them out for you. ;-)
I am a little slow, but finally have risen to the tag challenge!
