Recently I made the mistake of reading a friend's blog :) His first statement went over the fact about how one should never read the last paragraph on a Tagged post - and that he had made the mistake in doing so - well, let's just say, "I didn't see the sign - and it didn't open up my eyes - and I am not happy now" (old song and now it's stuck in my head. I'm lovin' it) My point -I've Been Tagged.

Below is my "I've-Been-Tagged-Look-of-Alarm- Picture".

You know... I have got to give props to myself in this picture... the nails look phenomenal and the hair shows no obvious signs of needing a root touch up. I haven't been able to say that in a long time. **** This picture was taken two years ago****

Okay, now back on track. If you haven't noticed I sometimes struggle with being serious. I am a surface girl... keep it light my friends... keep it light. But this tagged thing has left me at a cross roads. So my ingenious idea is to provide you with two separate groups of answers - one that I can easily handle and one that - dare I say -is the REAL DEAL. It's like one of those choose your own ending books - except totally not. Alright, Good Luck Readers!

ONE THAT I CAN EASILY HANDLE

2. READING ANOTHER ONE OF THE BELOVED SPOUSE'S STORIES ON JEDN'ERIC

3. PEOPLE SHOWING UP TO MY HOUSE BEFORE 10:30 A.M. - BECAUSE I AM SO NOT PRESENTABLE

GOALS

1. SUCCESSFULLY DISHING UP VEGETABLES ON MY KIDS PLATES WITHOUT THEM NOTICING I AM GOING WITHOUT.

2. FINISH MY BOOGER BOOK (ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT BOOGERS)

3. DISCOVERING AT THE RIPE AGE OF 26 THAT YOU MUST HAVE BAKING SODA IN ORDER TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. BAKING POWDERS JUST NOT THE SAME.
