I've been tagged.. by the cutester Texan. It's not MY fault people. I mean, when one has been tagged, one HAS to respond in kind and follow thru. Not to mention she did this days ago and I'm just catching up which makes me an awful friend of my favorite bloggers.. so I'm required to comply. Besides, this is much faster than the detailed novella I'm writing about Vegas and I will have to hone those brevity skills quickly and decide what is really important cuz goddamn I'm wordy.. as boy knows when he came over last week and I tried to simply tell him the story. About 30 minutes into it he said I needed to find the shorter version and wrap it up. Um.. ya think? Seriously, I have no impromptu editing skills when it comes to the spoken word. Sigh.. it's a process people.
SO.. without further ado:

That is SO naughty! *blushes*
Look at that, I cheated and chased everyone off. :(
Sorry Lish
Holy crap! I even chased Lish off!
I don't even KNOW seven other people who blog! Ahhhhh! Can I just tag you seven more times? :)
Oh, darlin', I just feel sparkly to be tagged... Now, move along, write more. I impatiently await the next installment from the Devyl.
I'm here Bloggy.. there was no chasing off. It's been so beautiful here I was away from the computer! Can you believe it??
Treena - no.. you can't tag me 7 more times.. girl.. what are you thinking?
Pixie - my darling girl.. I'm working on it.. I swear!
Catcher in the Rye? I always thought it was one of those "classics" that I couldn't really understand where the "classic" came from. I didn't like the book for some reason. Although, if you've ever read The Sun Also Rises, I'd rather be stuck on a deserted island with abot 100 of the Catcher in the Rye books.
The biggest thing I want to do before I die is see my kids, graduate high school, college, get married and have kids of thier own.
Doug: How could you not like Catcher in the Rye? The first page is hilarious.. how he rambles on? It's awesome.. Ugh.. I question your taste sometimes boy. But I do like your wish.. that's sweet.
I prefer Dickens and one of m favs is The Great Gatsby.
