I've Been Tagged... Kinda...

Over on Heather's blog, she made a request... first 5 people to volunteer to be tagged, post and let her know, will get a copy of her new book before it ships. So I'm tagging myself. Let's see if I can be one of the lucky 5. And after reading Vickie's post, I see that she tagged me too...

1. I have known my BFF for 32 years. She lived (her parents still do) in the same neighborhood my grandmother lives in and we went to elementary school and college together. We haven't been BFFs for all those 32 years. Just for the last 18 years. She now lives is in TX with her husband and baby girl but we talk over email every day.

2. I met my husband on a blind date 7 years ago and we have been together ever since. This year we celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.

3. I have 27 first cousins. My mom is one of 11? 12? kids (I can never remember). Family get togethers are always fun!

4. My brother and I are first generation born in the United States for our immediate family. Both my parents were born and raised until the age of 13 in Poland. I have visited there and would love to go back. I wish I spoke the language better. I used to as kid. I've lost it.

5. Speaking of Polish... I went to Polish school every Saturday morning during the school year for 5 years. I hated it. When all my friends were home watching Saturday morning cartoons and getting jacked up on sugary cereal, I was in school!

6. AND I was a Polish girl scout. No American Girl Scouts for me. The Polish kind. That was fun though. We didn't sell cookies or anything like that. I remember doing lots of crafts and singing songs. We did go camping overnight for 2 weeks in the woods.

7. We own three goats as pets and we did have 3 pigs but they went to Florida on "vacation"... that's the story Amelia believes. One of them is in my freezer and is DARN tasty! We will be raising 6 more pigs this year for their meat. My husband wants chickens. I haven't quite made up my mind there.

I was so quick to post this that I forgot to tag some bloggers out there..... so here I go. Are you ready? I believe this is strictly voluntary... Oh. And I can't remember if any of you were tagged by others so if you were, just ignore me! :)
Kris, Rachel, Mary, Stacy and Sheri.

Well, there you have it. Heather? Am I one of the lucky 5???
