A PLACE TO SHARE AND/OR PROMOTE BOOKS - SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE
Tagged - I'm it!
My dear friend Peggy Tibbetts, all the way over across the county from me, tagged me for a Meme. You don't have to know what that is, but the thing is, I had to post 8 random facts about myself on one of my blogs, that you probably don't care to read, then I tag someone else to do the same thing. I've tagged YOU! You HAVE to do it or else I'll haunt you the rest of your life. WHEN you do post your 8 random facts, leave a comment on my post here with the URL of YOUR blog post. Oh yeah, and you have to tag 8 more people. Have fun!
Here's mine...
1. I've written this three times now and lost the first two to Google cyberspace. I HATE it when that happens.
1.a (That first 1 doesn't count. ) I believe in magic, fairies, wishes, and dreams.
2. I own a blueberry farm and I don't really care for blueberries. (It was on the property when we bought it.) Anyone want to buy a blueberry bush? We have hundreds. Seriously. I'm tired of dealing with them.
3. I love scary movies, and black and white movies, and classics like Grease, Star Wars (the original), The Amittyville Horror (the original), Jaws, and Poltergeist.
4. I'm afraid of spiders, snakes and rodents, bridges collapsing while I'm on them, elevators plunging to the basement, dying before my kids are grown, and home invasions of Dunkers (long story I can't go into, but I had this crazy scary dream one night involving Dunkers and rifles, and broken telephones) but I'm not afraid of ghosts.
5. I love history. I loved Little House. I love the History Channel. I loved the Clan of the Cave Bear books. I'm pretty sure I COULD do things like that, doing everything by hand, but I'm glad I don't have to.
6. I watch weird TV - stuff some people cringe over. I've been a loyal Survivor fan since day one. The Amazing Race is fun if there's nothing else on. I also watch Lost and Ghost Whisperer, and Ghost Hunters. Fun stuff! I loved the X-Files. I've also watched All My Children for 18 years. (Not every day, but thanks to digital recorders I can watch the whole week's worth in one day. Where's the remote?)
7. I like to play. I can remember swinging on my swing set in my grandma's back yard and thinking that I never wanted to grow up. I've tried to hold onto that. I like to dig in the dirt looking for fairy stones (a phenomenon here in VA), I like to scare the cat so his tail gets all fluffy and he jumps three feet in the air, I like to throw water balloons and shoot hoops (just a few; I get tired), I still like to swing, I like to dirtsurf, and build sand castles. If the kids are around to join me, well, all the better!
8. I would live in jeans if I could...oh wait, I do.
Okay, now it's your turn: Colleen, Debi, Amy H, Amy T, Marion, Lorraine, Chris, and Jim.
Check out the links to the other lucky people I tagged...there's some great stuff out there. You'll be entertained, I promise. (And when you tag your 8, try to do the same and link them up.) Don'tchaloveme?

Blueberries! I LOVE blueberries!
Great list!
Here's a blog secret, compose the text in word copy and paste into notepad THEN copy and paste into your blog. Saves a lot of headaches.
Thanks for playing!

Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.Morgan

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
