tagging?

Still in catchup mode here…

I’ll start with one thing about me…
1. I’m a high-school teacher in a school where something getting tagged isn’t a good thing. It usually involves a permanent marker that both damages what’s been tagged and probably gets the tagger sort of high. (Resisting the urge to pull an image of tagging from my neck of the woods…no need to give them publicity…)

Okay, another thing about me…
2. I went to work today with straw in my hair. I kept trying to get it out…but there was always more. I picked up a bale of straw to mulch my strawberry bed last weekend and for some reason today on the way to work was the first time that the wind kicked up all the straw remenants and I was COVERED! I kept finding straw in my hair throughout the day. Every time I thought I’d gotten it all, I’d find more.

Jenny at Seeded tagged me for a meme. And because I’ve been fiddling around in the guts of the blog, I want to use the blockquote tag, so, I’ll quote her…

Suddenly I feel like I’m thirteen again and somebody asked me to sit with them in the cafeteria.

I agree.

The Rules:
Link to the person who tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog. (2 down…4 to go)
Tag 4 people 3 people at the end of your post linking to their blog.
(Jenny did three…I’ll do three.)
Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Four more random things…

3. I am an organizational-geek. I used to love going to fabric stores with my mom when I was little mostly to put all the zippers, buttons, and thread back into the right spots. It was fun, they were colorful. But my house is usually a mess. I’m pretty sure that enjoyment I get from gardening, and blogging about it, comes at least partially from the organizational aspect of it. (and as much as I thought I’d like my visual, excel-based, pdf’s of my beds for keeping track of planting and sprouting info…I’m going to switch to or supplement with plain ol’ lists. (Ahhh, a chance for a new system!)

4. I love the rain. I love clouds. But it’s probably because I’ve lived in Southern California almost all my life, so I don’t get to experience it too often. I have very fond memories of watching mid-western thunderstorms from a window upstairs at an aunt’s house for hours on end.

5. I’m planning to hike Half Dome in Yosemite this summer. I can walk 10 k/6 miles like it was nothing. But I seriously need to get my butt in gear to get ready for that 16 mile trek!

6. I cobbled this post together at various times over the past couple weeks, so there’s absolutely no flow I’m sure. I angst-ed over various aspects of it, then figured what the hell.

I shall tag:

Front Yard Gardens

May Dreams Gardens

Mercenary Gardens

  1. No need for angst at all. :) Huh…my husband’s a high school teacher and never mentioned that kind of tagging. I’d say maybe it was because he taught at a Catholic private school (he’s doing student teaching now so he can teach at public schools), but from the stories he tells about those boys, they were probably just into more expensive destructive things.
