this and that

I've was tagged Friday with two memes. I'm responding to both within this one post. The first one is from my dear friend Gill @ gill's jottings . I don't know the name or where it came from, but it looks like fun.

The rules are:

1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.

2. A. Share 5 random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog


1. I have always wanted to be able to sing and play the piano.
2. I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 10.
3. I don't know how to swim.
4. I've never worn a bikini.
5. I'm learning Paint Shop Pro.

B. Share the 5 top places on your want to see or want to see again.

These are in no particular order.

1. San Diego. I was there several years ago, loved it and want to go again.
2. Germany, because that is where my grandfather was from.
3. Ireland, because that is where my grandmother was from.
4. Egypt, just because.
5. Las Vegas, because it is awesome!!!

C. Share 5 things you never pictured being in your future when you were 25 years old

1. That I would be divorced in another 7 years.
2. That I would be a successful business woman.
3. That I would be where I am at this point in my life.
4. That I would fall madly in love with someone other than my husband.
5. That I would actually take a cruise.

3. Tag a minimum of 5, maximum of 10 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.

4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. Those tagged have a choice of which they want to do.

See the end of this post for those I am tagging.
