So, first, the rules:

1) Link to the person who tagged you.2) Post the rules on your blog (copy and paste 1-6).3) Write 6 random things about yourself (see below).4) Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them.5) Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.6) Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

1.  Today...January 16th, 2009...marks the fifth anniversary of the first time M and I started exchanging emails.  We have been fast friends ever since.

2.  The best word to describe me is "Distracted".  I try really hard to focus on one thing...like this list...or a conversation...or work...or a TV show...or the weather report...but I get distracted.  Easily.   Um...now I forgot what # 3 would be.

3.  My "Go-to" words are "watermelon" and "monkey".  If I don't know what something is and my son has asked me a million times and won't accept "I don't know" then I say one of those words.   And my "Go-to" number is 7. 

4.  I hate Diet Coke.  I will drink any other diet soda (in fact, I prefer the diet over regular on most sodas) except Diet Coke.  I'll even drink Coke Zero (which is almost Diet Coke)

5.  I do not have a favorite movie.  When people say "Oh, that's my favorite movie" I actually get a twinge of jealousy.  I also don't have a favorite band, book, a favorite song...but I know that red is my favorite color.  I probably could come up with a good list of Top Ten Favorite Movies, Bands, Songs and Books if forced to. 

6.  I just bought gel deodorant for the first time ever.  It was an accident...I thought I was buying the normal white cake stuff.  I thought I would hate it...but I don't.  I like it.  It's um...blue.  I've used the same brand for so many years that I don't even remember what it is.  Suave?  I don't know.  But it smells like apples.

as far as tagging goes?  I don't know who to tag.  If you read this and post it on your blog then let me know.
