TAGGED! (On December 4 of 2007!)

Hello Virtual World!
I've been away for sometime, due to a dead laptop that was fixed wonderfully by some folks who specialize in working down to the chip/component level. New Video chip and I'm back in the game.

Perusing my bookmarks, I came across Rowan Carroll's blog - Love her, love her blog, love her shoes, love her creativity and talent! She tagged LONG ago and I never did my part so here goes:

The Rules

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Ah! I see Rowan forgot to leave me a comment, so I am forgiven! :D

Ok, here goes...

1> I live in Santa Barbara, CA with a short 10 minute walk to the beach.

2> I spent so much time in SL that I Packed on about 50 lbs...I've lost them plus 63 more since February of 2007. I'm blogging about that elsewhere and still have about 30 lbs to go.

3> Two years ago, my man and I decided to cut our expenses and our attachments to STUFF. We got rid of all the fluff and moved ourselves into a 28 foot camping trailer. Our Jeep pulls it really well, it has a nice slide out that makes for big space inside, we live simply and it only takes about 30-40 minutes to clean my house completely. :D This is the most affordable way to live where we do.

4> I sing. Constantly. Really. Really well too! I'm an alto and I love to sing like Benatar. :D

5> I have a really cute mutt named Ally. I think she is a lab/chow mix. She's a sweetie and I love her to bits.

6> I absolutely LOVE a good wine. Not too many nights go by that I don't enjoy a glass...with a little chocolate. :D Yep, you can eat well and lose weight. :D

7> My car is older than my kid. Kid circa 1988, car circa 1983. Going to change that in a year or so most definitely, and it'll be another Toyota!

8> Last year I went to a "masterminding session" called Fusion with my man, and it was so good, we're going again this year. It's a great goal setting/clarifying session and place to share ideas with intelligent people...and it made a huge difference in the past year for me...so I'm looking forward to this one and the year ahead.

I guess I'm going to tag: Jackal Ennui, Ayesha Bisiani, and I know it says 8, but all my blogging friends have been tagged before...so it's just Jackal and Ayesha.

It's good to be back!
