So I've apparently been "tagged"

Share

At first I had no idea what the hell that even meant in blogging terms. I'm fairly new to this blogging world so it took a bit of research on my part, but luckily I was able to figure it out being the super genius that I am. I'm not one to brag or anything, but I was tagged TWICE in one day thanks to Melissa and Nooter the dog. Oh yeah baby, TWICE! So needless to say I was pretty exhausted from all of the tagging, but I've got my strength back and I'm able to fulfill my end of the deal now.

So the "rules" state that I'm to link to the person or in this case people, who tagged you. Check. Next I'm supposed to share seven random or weird facts about me and then tag seven other people and include links to their blogs. (OMG, that's alot of tagging but I know I can do it!) Finally, I'm to let each person know that I tagged them by commenting on their blogs.

So here goes nothing. . . 7 random or weird facts about Candice.

1. I always say that I hate Wal-Mart and the toothless patrons who shop there, but that's really not true. This is how I actually look. Unfortunately the scooter I'm riding for sheer convenience was cropped out. I also smell. Sorry.


2. I'm weird about those little LED lights on the VCR, Laptop, TV, etc. I can't sleep in a dark room with those lights blaring through my eyelids so I have to place an article of clothing to cover them up. Yes, it looks all Sanford and Sons in here at that point but I don't care. Brent also had to bust out the ladder in order to put a sticker over the little light on the smoke detector because it was bugging the shit out of me. I'm weird and I realize this...

3. I can't listen to more than 3-4 songs in a row on my ipod without a hip-hop, R&B, or a rap song coming on. I also get huge amounts of shit because of this.

4. I'm the Imelda Marcos of the tennis shoe world. I LOVE a good pair of tennis shoes. In fact 70% of the time that's what you will find me wearing. I've got roughly 12 pair in my closet right now and an unknown amount that are currently being stored in the garage. It's ridiculous. I tend to get alot of shit for this as well. It's also time for some new shoes.

5. I broke the news that I was pregnant with Taylor to my mother over AOL instant messenger. Did I forget to mention that I wasn't married at the time? Lets not get hasty calling me a whore people! I was engaged at least... The wedding location was then changed from a beach in Mexico to Lake Tahoe where I wouldn't have to be photographed in a bathing suit. P.S. I also really wanted to ski and gamble my arse off. Both were accomplished.

6. My first alcoholic beverage consumption took place when I was in 7th grade. It was Olympia beer mixed with Lemon Gatorade. It was the nastiest crap I have ever had the pleasure of swallowing since then. Yes, yes it was.

7. One year my dad got a case of Evan Williams from a co-worker. Ah yes, Alcohol. It's the gift that keeps on giving. At least that was the case for me.. I think I was in 8th grade at this point. I knew it was time to upgrade my choice of beverage from nasty ass beer, Maddog, and Boones Farm and go with something a little more potent. There were so many bottles stashed in my Dad's closet that he surely wouldn't notice if a few went missing here and there. Luckily when he DID notice that they were missing he blamed my brother who is 6 yrs older than me. It was perfect! It never occurred to the old guy that his baby girl was the one lifting the loot. When my brother blamed me it was immediately dismissed as a ludicrous idea that I would even do such a thing. Years later I let the cat out of the bag and came clean. I've actually done that quite a bit over the years. Anyway, my Dad's response? "Well, I'll be damned!"

Okay, now that that's over it's time for me to do some tagging of my own.

Uh, I just noticed that I broke the rules and linked to 8 people. Whoops!

Update part 2. I actually just realized that I linked to the same person twice. I'm quite the moron today. Work tonight should be fun.

I provided a link to your blog. I came across it a few weeks ago and I think your style of writing even about serious matters like Wal-Mart is entertaining. Have A Merry Christmas.

thx for taking me up on my tag. Your #7 is so funny..I used to do the same thing to my dad's stash in the garage. Too bad I'm the oldest and while i was sharing the Bartles and James wine coolers with my little sister...they suspected me all along of stealing the loot..it was confirmed when my mom found a blue gap bag full of empty bottles in a storage chest in my room. shit. that was a baad day.

Melissa- From one bad girl to another. Cheers!

Rat babies- Don't be such a baby. ;)Well done!

Nooter- You're welcome. He's sulking because he got sent outdoors in the cold weather for eating the cats food... AGAIN. I hope he freezes his pseudo-nuts off.

Sticky- I have to give you a cookie in addition to going steady with you? There's just no pleasing some people. ;)

Leigh- You better woman!
