Name Game Tag

Okay, so I was tagged for the "Name Game" by my friend Jeralee who got me started on this blog thing. I would give you a link to hers, because quite frankly it is one thing that gets me laughing more regularly than anything else, however, it is invite only to keep the sickos on the Internet away.

So Here is how it works...

1. You have to post these rules before you complete the "middle name" facts.

2. Players must list one fact (that is somehow relevant to their life) for each letter of their middle name.

3. Once tagged, write a blog post containing middle name game facts.

4. At the end of the blog post, tag one person for each letter of the middle name. Don’t forget to leave a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog for rules.

Now, starting off, I have to say I almost copped out of the challenge because I was not given a middle name when I was born... But, I took my maiden name as my middle name, so I won't flake...

R- Rice. I hated rice growing up. It was cheap and filled kids up. I thought it tasted like nothing. Now I love rice. Especially Jasmine Rice. It smells wonderfully and it goes great with many ethnic type dishes. I love curry with it! The kids love it with butter.

A- Athletic Training. That is what I studied in undergrad and got my masters degree in. Loved it. But I enjoy being a stay-at-home mom now, and I wouldn't trade that for anything! Even when the kids are having those days.

W- Whistle. Mike informed me the other morning as Katie was trying to whistle and we were talking about how you have to practice to get really good at it, that I am really bad at it. Apparently I need to practice.

L- License to Drive. I did not get my license to drive until I was 19. Not because I didn't want to, but because my family was hit hard by the recession. At the time insurance companies would let you drive with a permit without being insured. Unfortunately that meant I had to have an adult with me whenever I drove. Trust me, it was not a peaceful issue. One day when my mother swore at me in frustration (the only time I have ever heard her swear), I knew it was nothing she had control over and I should drop it indefinitely.

I- Indoors. Because it is so hot here in Arizona, our summers become the time that we spend a lot of time indoors. Unless you are going to go swimming. I am looking forward to it getting a little cooler so we can go biking and roller blading. But I will miss the swimming in the pool.

N- New. New is what I need in my computer as the mouse and keyboard are pretty much shot. Tonight I am enjoying typing on Mike's computer as I don't have to go back and correct the mistakes that occur because the keyboard didn't feel the stroke. Drives me batty somedays. I went and bought a plug in mouse for my laptop so I could actually have a mouse that worked. Unfortunately I do not have a plug-in for an extra keyboard too, otherwise I might be able to tweak another good two years out of it. :)

S- Seven. The number of kids that are in my family. It is also the number of kids that I will never have. Loved growing up in a big family. Having one might kill me. :)

Okay, so Brian Porter...you are the only other one that is invited to this blog that I know has a blog. You are it! I will be watching and waiting!
