THANKS to Haze and Rhonda for taggin’ me.
I suppose this wold be considered peer pressure – must proceed with game or else! Juz jokin. Let’s see if I can come up with something.
…
…
ok. I went and asked J to help me. He is fountain of weird facts about me:
-
My hair has been the following colours: various shades of red and orange, dark brown (current), light brown, blond, black, purple streaked, pink (all over), apricot – that was a mistake -, and bright green.
-
Jrock and I’s first Christmas together we went to the Czech Republic – a little town called Cesky Krumlov. The sites include the village itself – the whole thing is a Unesco World Heritage site – the Museum of Puppets and the Museum of Torture (both kinda creepy and fun.)
-
When I was a teenager I used to hunt with my dad – big game like deer and moose – to feed the family. I haven’t hunted though, since 1995, and the wild boar incident …
-
My favorite colour is green.
-
I’ve been reading up a lot lately on how to build straw bale and cob houses.
-
I did my grade 12 year in Germany on a Rotary exchange. Amazing experience, and I’m still in contact with my (host) family there. We’re planning on swinging by on the way to Ethiopia this summer/fall.
-
My best friend has been my best friend since she was in grade 4 and I was in grade 5. I don’t think she reads my blog.
-
Hamish humps his dog bed every night in our bedroom. Every night for 8 years. Except when we have company – then he brings the bed out and humps it in the living room.
-
I have tasted the best wine in the world. I kid you not. (J and I honeymooned in Bordeaux and Burgundy.) Chateau d’Yquem: It tastes like dill pickle chips and honey.
-
I can’t spell in English; it drives my husband and mother crazy to sit beside me when I type. I’m a product of French Immersion, so at least I can spell much better in French and German.
Hmmm… So I now tag Debbie (she has lots of time – she only has 6 kids), Jaclyn (who seems to be a willing victim of the taggin’), Sheri(she needs some foolishness on her blog – it’s getting way too serious 
), Emily (whose dossier just went to Ethiopia so she needs something to do during the wait), and my pal Cinnamon (actually that’s not her name – it’s her cat’s – but the real name is TOP SECRET.)
The rules:
Choose 5 people to tag and a reason you chose each person (can be totally nonsensical) Leave them each a comment directing them to your blog so they know they are it. You can’t tag the person who tagged you. As a courtesy to the person who tagged you, please let them know when you have posted so they can have the sheer delight and extra work load of reading your answers.
You do realize that now you must elaborate on the wild boar incident, right?
That’s a great list – I learned so much about you. You’ll have to fill us in on the wild boar incident!
Hmmm I really think Hamish and Abby are soul mates. Abby used to hump her fleece blanket but after one too many humps and a few tug of war games with it, the blanket had to be retired. She now has a stuffed sheep she humps. She must have a little identity confusion as I thougt humping was a boy-dog thing. Oh I do think her and Hamish would get along splendidly.

As for Cinn and her TOP SECRET name….I think we should do something about that.
As for Cinn’s TOP SECRET name – I have a confession to make. Nicky is not my real name either! AND, here’s the kicker – you’ll have never guessed! – JROCK is… NOT… my husband’s real name.
SHOCKING.
lol
My tongue-in-cheek point is that I totally understand the need for some degree of anonymity – the people who know me offline know who I am, including most people in the adoption community. So Cinn’s name will remain a secret on this blog
***
As for the wild boar incident -
You’ll just have to wait until you meet me in person and we’re having a glass of wine together!
Hey “Nicky”
do I really have to do the 10 random things? I’m so scared and i have a tendancy to keep my blog very informational (not personal at all)…. and i hate playing games!!! seriously! : )
Maybe I’ll just send you a private email instead of posting on my blog….. lol
Dude. Y’all give up my super secret identity… and there will be NO BAKED GOODS FOR YOU.
Just sayin’.
On second thought, after pounding down umpteen peanut butter cookies…
Maybe only SOME baked goods for you.
*burp*
Heya Emily – no problem if you don’t want to do the game <>
lol
It doesn’t matter, actually – but of course we’d like to know more about you!

Cinn -
your secret is SAFe with me.
Now, gimme those cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awwww, I want cookies too!!!! Food has been my comfort lately….seriously you should have seen the bowl of icecream/raspberries/chocolate sauce I had last night. I even put Bruce to shame!
Cinn, I just might make up own top secret name for you…like Paprika and then I could call you Paps for short (what girls doesn’t want THAT name???).
And Cinn and Nicky where ARE our babies?????????
