“Yes, It IS All About Me!”

I just love to talk about myself. Yeah, me, me, me.  This might be a long post.

Ross from Will it change you “tagged” me with a task to divulge six secret random things about myself.  This might be for mature audiences only.  No, just kidding.

I’m not sure where this idea originated from so if you do, please leave the credit in the comments section.  Well you asked for it, well someone did, so here goes.

1. The girl in me (that was probably not politically correct).  I am a Wife, Mommy, Auntie, Daughter, Sister and Granny.  Granny is the best job ever.  People tell you how wonderful it is going to be and you think, yeah it will probably be fun.  You can’t appreciate a granny story unless you are a granny.  Unless you are a grandparent, your eyes will glaze over as soon as I say “you can’t believe the cute story I have about my grandbaby”.   But just like most life lessons, you really never know until you experience it yourself.
   
2. They call me…Jane Deere. You know it!  I love my John Deere utility tractor.  It is a mower, with a bucket, some forks, a back blade.  Oh yeah.   I do the majority of the mowing as my husband works crazy hours in the summer.  We have a couple of acres to mow so my 54” deck is real nice.  I have all the Jane Deere apparel.  And they are right, nothing runs like a deere.
   
3. Dudette – where’s my Harley? Yeah, where is it?  Okay, it’s not a Harley.  Actually, I do have a motorcyle but mine is a Rebel.   (he he he.)  Rebel – who me?   I just started riding a couple of years ago.  My midlife crisis adventure.  Better than an affair or divorce! My husband has a Yamaha. We have added all kinds of upgrades to our Yamaha. We have as much money into the accessories as we do in the bike. I have a method to this madness. When hubby gets a bigger bike, I get the Yamaha with it’s cool pipes and all.
   
4. Entrepreneur a/k/a Self-Made Millionaire! Okay, I am not a millionaire by any stretch of the imagination, but an entrepreneur for sure!  I have been self employed for most of my life.   A few years ago, (during a grief stricken period of my life) I sold my business.  Ouch.  I am now working for someone else.  Ouch again.  What a tough pill to swallow.  In any event, I will be a self-employed blogger in the very near future.
   
5. I’m a hard worker, not always a smart worker, but always a hard worker. I am not afraid to get dirty.  Too often, I have been caught taking the long way around.  To me, it doesn’t matter how it gets done as long as it gets done.  Don’t get me wrong, I prefer the shorter, easier way but if it has to take me a hour to do a five minute job, well so be it.  “At the end of the day” the job will be done.
6. I am a positive thinker. I try to see the good side of everything.  Even in traumas and dramas.  Most people don’t want to hear my “it could be worse” scenario.  But it almost always could be worse.  Or even when what you have is unbearable, truly someone else has it worse.  I could tell you stories that would make your hair curl.
   
7. I am as honest and loyal as the day is long. I am devoted to my husband.  We are committed to each other and to each other’s dreams and aspirations.  I have never felt such undying love and support from another person.  I know, sounds all corny and everything but I don’t care how it sounds.  My husband and I have a dream.  We actually share the dream.  It’s not more his than mine or more mine than his.  We want to build a log home. Yeah, we know, we have simple dreams. Did I mention we want to do this without the baggage of a mortgage? We are clearing and preparing a lot and have been working  on it for a couple of years.  Beware, more corny coming up.  This property is completely “heaven on earth”.  I finally know what it means when people say life is what you make it.  I can’t explain it, but I don’t feel more safe or happy or at peace, I guess then when I am digging or raking or pulling stumps.  I know.  People just can’t understand.  I am tired of trying to explain it to some people.  Yes, I really would rather buy an implement for my John Deere than go on vacation or buy new clothes or anything else.
   

My husband had me throw that last one in.  I told him the rule was six not seven.   I am sure some of this is too much information and it was more fun than I anticipated.  So my next part is to tag six people.  The rules are as follows:

THE RULES:

1. LINK TO THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU
2. POST THE RULES ON YOUR BLOG
3. WRITE SIX RANDOM THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF
4. TAG SIX PEOPLE AT THE END OF YOUR POST AND LINK TO THEM
5. LET EACH PERSON KNOW THEY ARE TAGGED AND LEAVE A COMMENT ON THEIR BLOG
6. LET THE TAGGER KNOW WHEN YOUR ENTRY IS UP
7. DON’T BREAK THE CHAIN (not actually a rule)

Ok, so here’s who I’ve picked.   My apologies if any of them have already been tagged.  You have to be fast in this blogosphere.  No rest for the wicked!
