Okay, I may complain, but at least when I get tagged with a meme, it makes me feel obligated to actually post. I look at it as an exercise in writing.
I was tagged by Monkey Toe Momma http://mommahasmonkeytoes.blogspot.com/ .
The Rules Are:
"Tell us/me/the world 10 interesting/random/quirky/normal/silly things about yourself … things you’re looking forward to, things about you personally, whatever you want."
1. I am completely ADD...I'll throw random thoughts at you faster than you can catch them.
2. I hyper-focus when I read a good book, and will rarely put it down until I finish it (not good on the eyes).
3. My calendar looks like a scratch pad. I have something written on almost EVERY day, and it's ALL kids/school crap (Even the weekend).
4. I am an obsessive blog READER, not so much in the way of posting, but I do comment on other's blogs daily...do I get points for that?
5. This is the first time in 14 years that I have not had ANY kids home the entire day (I know I posted this before, but I'm just so danged excited about it)!
6. Talk with a Scottish burr, and I am putty...putty I say (my husband refuses to even try, although I did win a bet and make him wear a kilt for a week...wooohooo 6'5" of leggy man)!
7. My mom is my best friend. I do have other friends, but my mom wins for longevity, she's put up with me longer than my other friends.
8. I never want to be rich and famous. I just want to be a published author and have people actually read my work, and enjoy it (okay,I'll admit that I want to be asked to autograph my book too).
9. I never went to college, well, I never graduated, there was that ONE semester. I think that's why I am so adamant that my own children go. It is a priority...BIG one.
10. I am very laid back. Not much bothers me. I am usually not prone to emotional outbursts and rarely cry (unless it's a sad movie, then bring Kleenex!).
Okay, I'm supposed to tag other people, but I figure if you wanna do the meme, than by all means do it, if not that's okay too.

"If you can't be good, be good at it." —My grandmother's parting words of wisdom. A few days later, she was gone. I've carried those words with me ever since. Life's too short not to ask questions, tell stories, chase rabbit holes, laugh at yourself, and occasionally get into a little harmless trouble. Welcome to my corner of the internet. Pull up a chair, stay awhile, and don't be surprised if the conversation wanders from haunted hotels to Highland castles and ghost stories.

It Started With a Swing Set and Battlestar Galactica...
Was anyone else that kid? The one who didn't just watch a TV show... ...you lived it? For me, it was the original Battlestar Galact...

It's my turn to pick the topic on this blog chain round, even though I missed the last one, which Elana started ( http://www.elanajohnso...

Your husband actually went through with wearing the kilt? I mean, even though you won the bet, not many men would actually follow through (I dare say!) Totally funny!

#5 is definitely worth repeating - smiles! And, I'm all for autographs, too - smiles!
This was fun! (It would have been more fun in a 10 or 12pt font, thought; it's quite hard for me to see this tiny font!!) Thought of you this weekend when I was reading The Pillars of the Earth. You once mentioned that rape scenes are no-no's in books, and I was kind of glad for that. However, there is one (so far) in TPE, and it was terrible! Is it a particular genre that frowns on such scenes, or is it normally rare? Nonetheless, it's a good book, but I HATE that awful Bad Guy (Antagonist??)!
