Last Day for The Bonnie Hunt Show Give-away entry...Go here. We will draw tonight at 5:00 pm and announce tomorrow morning, Wednesday, October1, 2008...hopefully bright and early...we'll see how it goes! Ronda's Rants is very flexible! We don't believe in writing anything in stone!
Brenda from Queen of Good Intention's has tagged me. That means I have to tell you seven random things about me.
1. First off...I am not flexible ...that is a lie...I admire people who are flexible and take things in stride. I do not. But, God is working with me!
2. I have been forgiven and I have forgiven and it is a lot of work and I struggle with accepting forgiveness, asking forgiveness and being a forgiving person. But, God is working with me.
3. I am an Olympic worrier...not warrior...I try very hard not to be the Eeyore of our family but I still struggle...that and swearing like a drunk sailor in a foreign port-of- call! God is working with that as well, if only I would try harder!
4. My faith is very important to me...God has done things in my life, that are really miracles, things I wouldn't have thought possible!
5. My children are happily married or engaged and that has given me more joy than I can express. I have the peace that comes from knowing they have a love that will endure their whole lives.
6. My Hubby and I have a strong marriage but not always peaceful and for years I have envied people who seem to have a even keel marriage, while mine has been stormy! But, through our marriage difficulties my Hubby and I have grown in our faith and love for God and each other. This is one of the many miracles I spoke of in #4 and the struggle he and I share in #2. But, God is still working with me.
7. Recently, in the real world someone talked about my blog in a complementary way and wanted to give my blog address out in a public forum! I declined not very gracefully. It shook me in a way that doesn't make sense. It is public domain anyone can read it and I am aware of that however...I immediately thought of deleting it the moment I got home...I am wondering why I felt/feel that way...I am pondering this and God is working with me! I am sure I will blog about it... before I delete the whole thing...Tee Hee!
If you feel like being tagged...you are tagged otherwise keep running!

Tag..Tell Me More...
I have been tagged by Beth ann at Team Thornhill and so I must tell eight random things about me...first they are all random 'cause that's how I roll and second we are going to stretch to get eight 'cause I am just not that interesting!
1. I married young by most people's standards including my own, at age 19 because I just couldn't imagine not marrying him and I knew it was the right thing to do... for me. I did not want my own children to marry that young because it isn't easy. I have been married 31 years and more years have been happy than not but quite a few were not happy and the year between 15-16 was a hell-on-earth for both of us!
2. I love Politics, my Hubby does not share my love of Politics but we do agree on Politics which is helpful otherwise I am sure every four years would be hell-on-earth for him!
3. I had my children young which I have mixed feelings about that...I could have been a smarter, wiser mother if I had waited a little longer perhaps but I do enjoy being a younger grandmother as I have more energy and I think I am very helpful! My children have grown up to be wonderful people, in spite of my shortcomings but I am most proud of them and consider them my best achievement!
4.I own a construction company and have just become a travel agent and prior to that I was a Financial adviser for a local bank.
5. I have two dogs that have become my "other" children...a golden retriever named Riley who is 7 years old and we have just recently adopted a chocolate Labrador because her original family couldn't keep her any longer, she was already named Miley (cute, huh ?) and she is four years old.
6. I have two grand kiddo's who honestly could ask for any organ in my body, any day of the week and I would cut it out myself and give it to them... although why they would ask for an organ I wouldn't know! I adore them! A grandson who is 3 and a grand daughter who is 15 months.
7. I have a crush on James Garner...always have...he is a wonderful actor and I wish him to live forever and ever!
8. My Hubby honestly still makes me feel like a school girl when he walks in a room...I can't believe I still get this excited about him...I thank God everyday I was smart enough at 19 years old to grab hold of him and never let go!
Bonus...I apparently have a girl-crush on Bonnie Hunt because I am very excited about leaving tomorrow to see her show!!!
Okay...I have to tag eight people now...so let's see...I am just going to let you decide if you want the world to know more about you..
Today, is the very last day to vote for the Most Memorable Vacation over at my other blog, Travel with Ronda! You may vote for your favorite as many times as you like...the winner will receive a Thanksgiving Coffee Gift Basket! So get your fingers moving!!!
