I've been tagged!

I’ve been tagged by the very talented Alicia Padrón to reveal 7 facts about my self. She just completed a really sweet story about a Little Lost Fox that you can watch on video. Definitely check it out when you get a chance.
I have to say; this tag is not one of my favorite tags, only because I don’t think I’m that unusual. I try to simplify mi life and not have a lot of drama or chaos, so most of my days are pretty regular! But here it goes anyway…

1. I love Middle Eastern culture. Love the food and the music!
2. I think I have mentioned a few times on my blog that I am Colombian. However, I don’t think I have ever mentioned that I am part Lebanese (like ¼). I think that explains why I love Middle Eastern food and music. I have learned a few recipes and make them from time to time, and I still hope to learn how to belly dance one day!
3. I took up knitting when I was in college. I’m not a great knitter. In fact, last year I started a scarf that I have not finished and just looks like a giant rectangle. However, I find that knitting relaxes my mind when I’m trying to unwind, but still feel like I have to be doing something.
4. When my daughter was 9 months old, I went with her to Michael’s and gave her my car keys to keep her entertained. 45 minutes later, after paying for my supplies I was in the parking lot frantically looking for the keys. I realized she had lost them. She had a wet diaper, was hungry and I was late for her nap. I thought of calling my husband, but I was embarrassed (now I laugh about it). I went back inside the store and re-traced my steps a few times and finally (30 minutes later) found the keys on the bottom shelve behind some scrap-booking tools. I’m still not sure how I managed to find them. After that, I NEVER gave my keys to my kids!
5. I am a caramel girl. No chocolate or vanilla for me!
   
6. I don’t smoke or drink … (see, I said I was boring)
7. My anniversary is today! 9 happy years!

…And that makes 7 !!!

Now, I get to pass it on to some lucky and talented bloggers

My First Tag!

My first tag! Oh my!

My friend Nicole Merkens just tagged me and I need to reveal 6 unusual facts about myself…so here’ it goes:

1. I can’t swim, at least not too well. I grew up in the mountains in a rainy city where the temperature hardly ever reached 60. I was never around water, so never had to learn. Now I live in Florida and I am completely intimidated by water. If I was on a ship and the ship sank…I would definitely not survive!
   
2. Breakfast is my favorite meal! I cannot skip breakfast or I become very cranky. Just love eggs, croissants, pancakes, bacon, sausage, yummm! I’m salivating already!
   
3. I know how to drive stick shift, but prefer automatic. Just hate the shifting every 2 seconds when you are in traffic. I guess I’m a lazy driver!
   
4. I like to work with background sound. It could be music or TV, but can’t concentrate if it’s all too quiet!
   
5. I don’t like olives or anchovies.
   
6. I can’t ride a bike. Don’t know why I never learned, but when I was 15 I tried and was horrified by oncoming traffic. I’ve wanted to learn just so that I can ride with my kids, but falling when you are older just hurts a little more than when you are younger.
   

Well, that’s my “6 unusual things about me”. Don’t know if they are all that unusual, but that’s what I came up with.

The rules: 

1. Link back to the person that tagged you
2. Post these rules on your blog.
   
3. Share six unimportant things about yourself.
   
4. Tag six people at the end of your entry.
   

I know I'm supposed to tag people, but I will leave this one open for anyone that wants to participate. (If you do, let me know and I will post a link to your blog) Thanks!
