Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
I thought I’d give you eight eights:
1. When I was eight years old and in the third grade, my friends and I used to have boy-kicking contests out on the playground. I don’t remember whether the winner was the one who kicked the hardest or who kicked the most boys, but I do remember that a girl named Vicky was the winner. I wonder whatever happened to Vicky, the Boy Kicking Champion of Third Grade at San Jacinto Elementary School?
2. I have eight children.
3. My favorite book by Louisa May Alcott is Eight Cousins; even though I like Little Women and its sequels, I like the family/community Alcott creates in Eight Cousins.
4. Eight foods I love: cashews, Danish wedding cookies, pepperoni pizza, Vanilla coke, milk chocolate, fettucini alfredo, hot chocolate, pecans.
5. I was twenty-eight years old when I had my first child, Eldest Daughter.
6. I have been wearing the same pair of SAS sandals for approximately eight years. I need a new pair of sandals, but I can always think of something to else to buy instead.
7. 8 is one of the “Lost Numbers” on the television show, LOST, along with 4, 15, 16, 23, and 42. I like LOST and all its characters, especially Hurley who is my favorite.
8. When I was eighteen, I drove a white Volkswagon Beetle named Jojo. I always name my cars. Eight cars my family or I have owned: Calamity, The Maroon Marauder, The Magic Pickle Van, Nero, Bessie, Black Car, Joan, and Jojo.
Camille tagged me for this meme a long time ago, and Bonnie did, too.
I’d like to know eight random things about:
Cathy at Poohsticks.
Lars Walker at Brandywine Books.
Phil also at Brandywine Books.
What a clever way to do the meme. Interesting facts.
