I was tagged by Chasity the other day, and I am gonna try to do this.

The Rules: Link to the person who tagged you. Post the rules on your blog. Write six random things about yourself. Tag six people at the end of your post. Let each person know he or she has been tagged. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

I don't know if I know 6 people on here who have not been tagged, so I just tag a few peeps.

Things about me............. Man, this could get funny, consider your self warned so this is no time to be sipping or eating anything, remember you have been warned, I will not buy you a new keyboard or laptop if you fry it because you were sipping tea while reading my blog.  Hey, that's it I just need to put a disclaimer at the begining of each blog, you know like McDonalds having to tell everyone their coffee is hot.

1.  Like I have to tell you, I am a nut (yes now that song I'm a nut I'm a nut is runnin aroung my head).  In fact when dh and I started dating a local radio station was playing that song They're Coming To Take Me Away, for 2 weeks straight, we thought it was cool, so we drove around listening to it.  Ya know, that song came out the year I was born right?!?  Explain anything...

2.  I was in the band, yep, public shcool student.  I played the flute, I also swung a flag for awhile, could not play music, memorize music and steps, march and all that stuff at one time, so I stood there and slung a flag around.  Concert season was my thing.

3. My nickname was Gracie, see above statement.  You ever seen someone mess up a whole band?  That's why I slung a flag.

4.  When I grow up, I want to be an eccentric ol lady.  You know the kind who wear a purple dress and red hat, man that poem coined me.  Not that I actually want to wear those colors, not one to walk to the beat of everyone else's drum, I like my music better.

5.  I know what abuse is.  I can be serious.

6.  I know my redeemer lives.  I may not always act like it but I am a child of God, and He loves me, I tell people you mess with me, your messin' with Him.  Oh ya, he said tell you he loves you too!!!

Okay, that's it.  I'll try to pass this on, but until last weekend I only had one friend on here, and before last month none, Sheri H was my first friend.  Lub ya Sheri!!!    So if you have not been tagged lately, please consider this a tag and keep this going.  Just link back to me, and I just figured out how to do this (thank's Amanda) so if you need me to I can 'splain it....

The following is an email I received and I only had 8 people to send it to (how sad is that).  So I am gonna treat it like a tag, if you were in my email address box and got this just sign in and say done.  That is if I figure out how to add the link box, help me please.  For those of you who did the BFS homework, just copy and paste your recipe or link and use that one, I do not want to add more work, or if you have a recipe on your blog you may use it, this is to spread the love.  In fact it does not have to be a food recipe.  Just copy, paste and send a quick email to my friend Jenny at the top of the list below.  She is not a HSB either, and she is a new Cindy Rushton friend (no talk-a-latte yet) and would fit right in with all of us who are, so let's shower her with lotsa love.....  Thanks guys. Valerie

You've been invited to be a part of a recipe exchange. Please send a recipe to the person whose name is listed in the number 1 position above (even if you don't know them). It should preferably be something quick, easy and without rare ingredients. Actually, the best one is one you know in your head and can type out and send right now.  Then, copy this letter into a new e-mail, move my name to the #1 position and put your name in the #2 position. Only my name and your name should show when you send your e-mail. Send to 20 friends.  If you cannot do this within 5 days, let me know so it will be fair to those participating. You should receive 40 recipes. It's fun to see where they come from. Seldom does anyone drop out because we can all use new recipes.  The turnaround is fast because there are only 2 names on the list.
