Eeeek! I'm It Again! 7 Very Randomish Things About Me!

Hi, Everybody! Sorry I haven't been around to comment or even post lately. Taking care of the main things right now. Sometimes life just requires our FULL ATTENTION! That's where I am this week.

I wanted to tell, Ya'll Happy Thanksgiving! At this time of remembering all the many ways God has blessed us in our lives, in so many crazy, silly, unique and beautiful ways, I thought I would take this time to respond to a 7 Random things tag, which I got from my New Zealand friend.

This will be the mostest, randomish things, evahhh! 'Cause that's just the mood I'm in right now!

1. Last week, while watching a hunting show with my honey, they were calling elk...it was such a funny sound! I just had to try it! Guess what? I make a really good elk call! When we went to bed, I was still making sleepy elk calling noises when I went to sleep! (He was reading and laughing at me last thing I remember!)
2. I like lots of things! Lots of songs, books, movies, colors, sriptures, (and now blogs) are my "favorites". Those around me know know that I often say, "that is one of my favorites!" I use to say my favorite....then I realized, I just am not a singular favorite kind of girl! I genuinely like LOTS of stuff! I have LOTS of favorite everything! Why miss out?
3. We have two children, 23 & 14 yr old sons. It is like having 2 only children in some ways. I have never had labor. C-sections both times. 3 cheers!
4. The whole neighborhood of older kids taught me how to ride a bike one evening. I was 8, now I am 42, and I still remember this fondly! I kept crashing in the ditch over & over again! I can remember the older kids sayig, "We are going to put a sign up that says "Warning - Maria's Ditch"! I was learning on one of their bikes, much bigger than me! I was always a full tilt kind of person, so I attacked this task with enthusiasm. I was dirty, grubby and loving (all the crashing into the ditch)! But I got it down!
5. I commenced to staring at the Sears & JC Penney's catalogs in front of my parents in whatever room they were in (that must have been a royal pain for them!), and it worked! I had a beautiful pink & white bike on my 9th birthday waiting for me! Voila!
6. I met my husband at an Alabama concert with mutual friends. That was it for us!
7. I took Driver's Ed 3 semesters in a row. I refused to drive for the first time in front of my peers. My driving scared my Dad too much (not for safety's sake - it was more about the grinding of the gears!) So, my Mom had to come the rescue. After 1 school year & 2 failed semesters of Driver's Ed, during the summer, Mom loaded up the family (sans Dad who was working), brought a book, and let me drive her and my brothers and sisters out in the country a couple times a week until I was comfortable at it. Then I passed Driver's Ed! 3 times IS a charm!

Ok, you can wake up now! :) I have to pick 7 random people, and this will truly be random. I try not to tag people that have been very recently tagged. Here goes: My Own Bandwagon, Fractured Thoughts, Southern Sass, Monkey Giggles, From the Land of Monkeys and Princesses, 2 Peas in a Pod, Baseballs and Bows.

God bless you all! Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
