Avoidance Behavior

Bubba's Sis is playing this fun game and I decided to play along! Here's how you do it: Tell me by leaving a comment on this post, and I will assign you a letter. Then post ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter on your blog. Explain the rules with your ten things and when others comment requesting a letter, assign one to them; thus, the chain continues.

I got assigned the letter "C". So, instead of finishing the exam I was writing, here are 10 things I love that begin with "C":

1. My Child!
2. Chocolate - DUH!
   
3. Cats - I've loved them since I was a little kid. I have pictures of me with my favorite toy - a stuffed kitten.
   
4. Creativity - as an only child, my creativity has sustained me though lots of lonely times.
5. Carbs - I could never stay on the Atkins Diet.
6. Chins (the Japanese kind) - our dogs are Japanese Chins and I do love them!
7. Crabs - my favorite type of seafood!
8. Cuddles - hugs from my family and friends are a necessity!
9. Cable - as much as I hate to admit it, I really do love watching TV.
10. Computers - I'm thrilled to be able to keep in touch with family and friends like this.

So, if you want to play, leave a comment and I'll assign you a letter!

Six Non-Important Things to Know About Me...

I usually don't do memes, but this seemed challenging. Stealthily stolen from Lattegirl...

--------------

Things you probably don't even care to know about me:

1. I have Diet Coke for breakfast. It's a wonder I don't have an ulcer.
2. I like to keep pictures of family and friends taped to my fridge.
3. I still count on my fingers sometimes.
4. I am addicted to texting.
5. I wear fake fingernails so I don't bite my natural ones.

Anyone want to take the challenge and do this on their own blog? I didn't think so.

Image Fun

I saw this at Bubba's Sis's blog;

1) Go to Google.
2) Click on Google images.
3) Type in your name and search.
4) Re post (w/ a link) the picture of the oddest, craziest, strangest, coolest, oldest, etc. person that shares your name. Post multiples if you find a few you like.
5) Pass it on to at least 5 other people.

After looking at picture after picture of seemingly the same person (thin, Caucasian, perky), I found this:



This is definitely the hairiest Stacey that I could find!

I'm It

Looks like I've been tagged by Bubba's Sis! Well, here goes:

1. What were you doing 10 years ago? I was working at a small computer software developer office and drinking a lot. We had been in our first house almost 1 year by then.

2. What were you doing 1 year ago? We were living in a different house, but everything else was pretty much the same. I was probably planning our vacation to Sedona. How come it's easier to remember 10 years ago than 1 year ago??

3. 5 snacks you enjoy: popcorn, granola bars, fruit, yogurt, chocolate

4. 5 songs that you know all the lyrics: there are just too many to name! I can sing at least some of the lyrics to just about every 80's and early 90's rock song...seriously, it's disgusting.

5. 5 things you would do if you were a millionaire: pay off debts, go on a Hawaiian vacation, buy a vacation house in the mountains, keep a massage therapist on payroll, buy a new car

6. 5 bad habits: biting my fingernails, not writing stuff down so I forget to do them, committing to things I don't really want to do, not returning phone calls, excessive emailing and blogging (according to my husband)

7. 5 things you like doing: emailing, blogging, biting my fingernails, watching movies, writing

8. 5 things you would never wear again: yesterday's tampon (sorry...), press-on fingernails, a thong, stiletto heels, a wig

9. 5 favorite toys: my MacBook, iPod, DVR, Shrek Burping Baby from McDonald's, itty bitty book light

There's all the info you always wanted to know/wish you hadn't read! Now, for the tagging:
