My lovely daughter Aimee tagged me because she knows I love to tell my secrets to the world!
The Rules: Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The game rules are posted at the beginning of the post. 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 to let them know they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
Factoid #1: I hate this type of game! It's kind of like the emails that tell you if you don't pass it on to 2000 friends your best friend will develop some terminal illness and you will have bad luck for 25 years! There is an obligation to do it! Don't you think? I mean really if you don't do it you run the risk that your best friend will die and you won't be able to look in a mirror without it smashing to a million pieces, all your cash will be gone when you go to the bank and your house will burn down! That's just my luck.
Factoid # 2: I can't get started on my day without doing the crossword puzzle in the Toronto Star. It's a habit that I can't break. Even on Sunday morning you will find me sitting in my backyard with my laptop and a coffee puzzling over strange new words!
Factoid # 3: I am judgmental. I always judge others by a standard that I set for myself. This is a very low standard on some peoples scales! I insist that if you are going to walk and talk in my presence you should be able hold a conversation at least with yourself! I hate people that can't string two words/steps together without stumbling! In fact I abhor STUPID PEOPLE!
Factoid # 4: My husband is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him. He is funny, strong and yet somehow gentle all at the same time! He is the only DUMBASS that I can tolerate for more than 10 minutes without wanting to shoot myself in the temple! He can't help that he has that gene that makes him a stupid boy!
Factoid #5: I love my kids! I love having them around! They make me laugh.
Factoid #6: I love to gamble! One of my favorite places is Las Vegas! When drawn near to the casinos here in Ontario I lock my purse, bank card and credit card in the trunk and enter only with the amount I am comfortable losing . I regulate this urge to gamble by attending Bingo once weekly with my girlfriend. It is a controlled spend and sometimes we get lucky. (this past weekend we did something we haven't done in a long time....did more than 1 session in a row, only because we won, total winnings this weekend amounted to over $2000) Husband has recently taken to calling my bingo bag my tools and my evening at bingo my second job. He laughs and says it's like the second pay cheque!
Factoid # 7: I am a control freak. For this reason, I drive everywhere we go. Husband does not mind as this gives him the excuse to have a beer or 6 when we go out somewhere without the worry of having to drive. For this reason, I do not drink....
Factoid # 8: I worry and it hurts! I worry about everything because I insist on taking control (see factoid # 7) and therefore feel responsible for the world so that I can then complain about all stuff people don't do because they know Linda's in control and will take care of it! This is especially predominant in the workplace! It happens at home as well and Hubby and I have been known to have stupid boy conversations about it, where I say that I wish he would do something while all the while never relinquishing responsibility at all! Famous last words...."Never mind, it's easier if I do it myself then try and explain it!, Go forth and do stupid boy things!"
Damn I hate these things....they are never as clever as you think they could be and frankly, I'm just not interesting enough to read about anyway!
I'm not tagging anyone except maybe MP cause she visits me occasionally, everyone else got tagged by the evil one that tagged me!
