~Tagged~ Just LOVE this game.....

I have been tagged by two of my good friends, Heather of Heather's Handmade Creations and Terronda of uniquecommodity and perhaps there are more out there. I am sorry if I have not included you this time. I am finally taking a moment to step back and play the game, as I love reading 7 things about other people.

Here are the Tag Rules:

~ Link to your tagger and list these rules on your blog.

~ Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

~ Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their name as well as links to their blog.

~ Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. This last one I am leaving off because it is SEW CLOSE to the holidays and do not want to pressure anyone. If you would like to play tag and would like to use SEWHAPPY as your tagger, by all means PLEASE DO!

So here are my Seven:

I am deaf in one ear…since I can remember...perhaps from birth. It only bothers me in crowds or when someone tries to whisper in my deaf ear.

I was voted best looking in my high school class...which is nice to remember at my current age of 50 somethin. I am still a very high maintenance (so McStevie says) girly matchy-matchy girl since high school.

I wanted badly to be a cheerleader in high school…I only tried out once…my sisters were cheerleaders..but it’s OK ‘cause now I enjoy being a cheerleader for a few causes.

I LOVE peanut butter and always keep a jar at my work desk..sometimes eat it straight from the jar, but especially love to put a little on those miniature Hershey chocolates for an afternoon treat.

My married name is the same as my mother’s maiden name, same spelling, different family. Makes for a lot of confusion with all the “families” living in the general North Country area. I have all kinds of "coattail relatives". Big families are the bomb.

My sister Nancy (a nurse) delivered our daughter because the Dr. did not make it to the hospital in time. That is very special because she has two sons, no daughters - and I love sharing Mandy with her.

I have wanted to be a secretary since I was about 10. While my sisters were playing nurse and teacher, I played with fake file folders at my mother’s sewing machine cabinet that had lots of deep drawers I could use for files. I have been in the secretary/administrative assistant field for over 25 years and still enjoy “playing” with files.

Say it ain’t sew, Cindy~~

Cindy is not sewhappy today. No woots, no double woots, nadda. I am a bad wife. I am sewwwwww sorry.














Today is my 38 wedding anniversary. I am married to a sweet loving adoring man, my McStevie….and I just don’t deserve him.









OK, I didn’t get him a card to open this morning. I thought of it after he arrived home yesterday from his day....and I began to beat myself....hard....I was busted....and I couldn't tell him. I wouldn't tell him, why spoil his night? I was awake half the night riddled with guilt and so slept through his leaving for work this morning. I wasn’t awake to tell him I adore him and he is the center of my universe….no instead I travel to the kitchen to get my coffee and find MY CARD, my beautiful anniversary card that says just the right stuff to make me melt. AWWW…guilt pangs are running up and down my spine. AND...to add to that, I have the day off today to enjoy as I want, and hubby has to work! Urghh...does it get worse?











I am usually not so bad about this stuff, but I have been sew distracted. As of late, my brain hard drive is on control/alt/delete. It has been all about me and I messed up.











Well, I sort of have an excuse…lame as it is. I went to the eye Dr. yesterday and he put drops in my eyes. They made my pupils as big as my butt and they gave me plenty of blurred vision. I got out of there late and was rushing to get home.
Moosebeery Hill radio show would be on in less than a half an hour and I wanted to get myself some wine and snack before I sat down with the puter and prepared to chat. I sailed by the drug store, the grocery store, the convenience store. They were blurry, but nonetheless still there.











I had so many other thoughts in my head….would I make it home without having an accident, and if I did what would the police think after viewing my saucer size pupils? It would be a false drug bust. It would not be sew pretty.

Would I make it in time for tuning in to the radio show?

Would I get to sew on The Bumble Bee Studio craft apron before the debate???

Would Gov Palin be an idiot during the debate…or…would she prove to be much more than a hockey mom…would she be on her way…moving from Russia…er….I mean….Alaska…to the White House….I pondered if she would lose the fight and become a friend…I had visions of Sarah,Tina (Fey), Katie (Couric) and me going to a Mary Kay party and testing the new “hockey lipsticks”.

Deep in thought, deep in self-indulgence my thoughts on my anniversary were out there, I’m sure of it….but I was just consumed.

McStevie deserves better.











Let me just say that we have been together since we were teenagers and God willing we will be together until the end of time. Like Forrest Gump and his Jennie, we are like peas and carrots. Back in high school, he had me at “hello”.











I love you, my McStevie.











PS ~~So not to add to the aforementioned guilt, I am giving a BIG shout out to our daughter Mandy. Today is her birthday. Born on our anniversary and the baby of our little family, she is a sweetheart! Hugs and Kisses, Happy Birthday, Mandy! She is coming for the weekend. Now if we could see son Jeff, daughter in law, Sheila (JELA), Tucker and Tessa our world would be rockin’.
