Middle Name Game...

I've been tagged by Deb, so here's an acrostic poem of sorts about me:

Here are the rules:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.

2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name).

3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.)

L – I think I’m going to have to make myself throw up a little in my mouth by saying that I’m loving. I don’t know if I always do a good job of it, but I do try to make it a priority to let my friends and family know that I love them and appreciate them. I’ve had times where I’ve had no friends, and going without really makes you appreciate what you have. My friends are great, my family is awesome, and my husband is the best man I know. So hopefully all those people already know that I feel that way.

E – I love to entertain. I love having people over to celebrate anything – birthdays, the fact that it’s Saturday, the fact that we’ve have great friends and family – you name it. This isn’t always without stress, as I tend to start planning menus as soon as we’ve decided to have the gathering in question, and due to some poor time management in our house (on both our parts), there is usually quite a bit of scrambling at the end to make sure that the house is clean and I’ve had a chance to bathe. We’re working on this part. But while I do love my alone time more as I get older, I still love having people over and it always gives me a chance to reflect on just how lucky we are.

I – I can be very impatient. Not necessarily in that “gimme my Christmas presents!” kind of way, but more in that “there’s a problem to be solved, therefore I must fix it now, and won’t be able to move on until I feel that there is a plan in place that will lead us closer to a solution.” This drives K nuts, because he will usually tire of addressing said problem, or at least tire of talking about said problem, long before I will. I also drive everywhere like I’m in a hurry. Ev. Ry. Where.

G – I am a huge geek. Always have been, always will be. It’s fortunate that I’ve learned, in my adult years, to pass it off with panache. Interestingly enough, not caring that you’re a geek kind of makes you cool to some people. Likely just fellow geeks, but it’s all good.

H – I’ve become much more of a homebody as life has progressed. I still have a yearning to travel and see the world and have adventures and experiences for as long as I can, but I actually really value feeling rooted somewhere, and with someone. It’s unexpectedly nice and comforting.

So, just for giggles, I'm going to tag Stef, Jeff (oooh...that rhymed), Amy, Keith, and Marsha.

(But I won't be offended if you don't do it....)
