So, I've made a new internet friend, Jamie. I don't know how she found my blog and honestly don't know if I'm supposed to know her in real life, but I like her blog and the things God is doing in her life and family. They have 2 boys at home and are in the process of adopting two more kids from Haiti. I hope to learn a lot from her about international adoption. But for now, she tagged me to play a little blog game where I answer questions about myself on my blog. I figured it was an easy way to have a new post without having to think too hard or come up with something really brilliant. Plus Sam and Jude are with my parents this week (so I can do my yearly catch-up on book-keeping and taxes) so I have a little time on my hands (but not too much b/c I really need to work)!
OK, on to the game. Here are the rules:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read the player’s blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

3. Courtney: I miss her and would love to catch up.
4. Shelly: I don't know her very well, but we did enjoy a fun evening together last month when she and Robert took us to Babe's which scores very high in my book.
5. Kristin: I don't know her very well either, but she and Shelly are good friends, and if she's even a 1/10 of an internet junkie as her husband, then she'll like this game.

Great post. I'm making Kristen post her responses ASAP!
You are the queen of links!
Hey! I grew up in Arlington too. I had no idea you were from there. I actually grew up in the hood a.k.a. Bowie. Ha! I'm dying to know what high school you graduated from.
Lyns
Thanks Todd. I figured you'd make her do it. Oh and thanks for props. It is my goal to be the queen of links! :)
Three great things about this post:
1) You tagged Ross. He whined the last time someone did that to him.
2) After reading this I've discovered that one of the best possible things that could happen to me is you becoming a billionaire. Get to work on that.
3) You did not tag me.
I thought about tagging you, Thad but was torn between wanting to hear your answers and fearing how annoyed you'd be if I did tag you. I think I made the right choice! And yes..I'll get to work on becoming a billionaire.
Okay - Stac, I played along! FUN. Miss you too...and your boys! Okay, how do you do the link deal? Please advise? THanks friend. I may call you in the next few days because we are planning a trip to CS and want to see yall. One of my closest friends here is friends with one of your friends that goes to yalls church. Anyway, we want to come and see yall and the church because we are starting a little Home Group/Church from Riverside here in Boerne. Love ya! And HELP with the links!
I'm up to the challenge!!
Hey Staci,
You accidentally put going to Starbucks too often under your bad habbits list.
Just thought I'd let you know.
Done!
I'm with Thad: let's hope you become a billionaire. Have a great weekend.
Okay, I'm finally done! I didn't know why everyone was tagging Thad until I just read these comments... perfect.
1. What do you mean by sleeping in? I'm not sure your 'sleeping in' is what my 'sleeping in' is. I'm remembering when we'd both have 9am shifts at Bobby V's. I'd stumble in with sleepy-gunk in my eyes and pillow creases on my face and you'd list off 5 things you'd already done that they: 10-mile fun run, tanned, fed the hungry, showered/shaved/did your hair, and ran a few 'errands'. You were always running errands.
2. Try the venti iced GREEN tea. With 2 splenda. It'll rock your tea world.
