I have been “tagged” a few times recently and feel that is my blogful duty to participate in the trivial, yet ever-popular “7 Random Things About Me” post. Here goes…straight off the top of my head:
1) Family nickname: Boop (as in Betty)
2) At one point in my life, I had counted how many times I moved to a new home. The number matched my age. I was 31.
3) When I was about 7, I accidentally hit my brother in the head with a golf club so hard he needed stitches. He forgave me.
4) I have a habit of putting used kleenex in the door handle of the car when I am driving.
5) I had a best friend stop being my best friend and I never found out why. I was 40.
6) I once ate spaghetti out of a ziplock bag while sitting on the floor of a train station in Pisa, Italy.
7) I don’t have a history of being very politically active, however I once wrote a letter to President Ford asking him to grow a mustache. I was 10.
so there you have it…
good times!
ssoooo cute… lol
Hahaha!! Your last one made me laugh out loud. That’s too funny.
O.K. That was funny! I’m still trying to figure out what some of the questions might be. I might borrow this “tag” and Tag others. I like them. It helps break up the posting monotony.
Oh my goodness…de-lurking to say me too on the kleenex in the door handle and the best friend experience (I was 42)…always good to know you’re not the only one!
Ditto on the kleenex in the door handle. I have vowed to myself on several occasions to stop, and yet I keep doing it. Very nice of your brother to forgive you.
Best 7 things ever. Esp the spaghetti in a bag, could this be the new italian Doritos?
That is too funny. You can’t be as old as you say because you looks so young!
I was crushed when I was dropped by a close friend…my heart goes out to you Betz.Thanks for letting us know…man, how random is that, just dumping a friend like a hot potato…who does that?Their loss…you keep your chin up girl!All my best,laura d.
You do not look like you’re 40. I would have said mid 30’s at the most.
#5 happened to me to. It was strange.
Same here on the door handle. Wads of gum in wrappers go in there, too. It’s only a problem when it melts in the heat, and my husband puts his hand in it! 🙂
OMG, how old are you?? I thought you were 25-30 or something.. Unbelievable. Really, I can’t believe. You look so great!!
OMGosh those were hilarious. I laughed out loud at the last one too!
It is terribly heartbreaking when best friends move on. And as hard as it is, it is better they were honest and respectful enough to leave, than stay and be two-faced to you.
Those are pretty good, hard to beat. Thanks for sharing.
Lol, age 10 is so precious.
Funny stuff…thanks for sharing! I like the kleenex one…I stick mying in the cup holders!
Eating spaghetti out of a plastic bag was my favorite… however asking the President to grow a mustache is a close 2nd.

Those are sooo great! It is good to learn more about each other. That should happen more IRL. Maybe your lost friend reads your blog secretly and will make up with you. Ummmm….do you have pockets or sleeves to stick your tissues in?

i always love these random lists because they are always so interesting…love that number 7
and i also do #4 – i am always so embarassed when someone has to ride in my car and i have all those kleenexes around.
I completely agree about Ford–Brilliant! Would have been especially funny if it was a handlebar moustache
Made me laugh too. Also had the good friend thing happen…twice and a high school boyfriend of 4 years.
Oh, the unexplained ex-best friend thing. I am going through that now. Of course it’s a guy best friend who used to be a boyfriend. It’s all pretty painful indeed.
love your list, these tags always bring bloggers closer to life (indeed, I can’t believe you’re as old as you say either).
