In the Majesty of Weirdness
Oh my goodness! I can't tell you how excited I am to be tagged in this weird thing that is going around. Now I wonder who I can tag? Oh well, I will worry about it later!
What's this all about?
Well, all morning long on twitter people have been passing along this blog tagging game. Christina of Surviving at Home passed it along to me...
Posted the rules to the blog - Done
Okay, now the hard part (or is it the easy part?)
1. I've lived in Tuktoyaktuk. That's got to be weird. It's a 500 (or so) person hamlet on the edge of the Beaufort Delta Sea on the edge of the McEnzie River. Take a map and look up, wa--ay up!
My favorite family line that was coined there is "It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there.
2. I've eaten bear. I think that's pretty weird. You hear about people eating deer or elk or moose quite often these days now that they've started farming them. I've had all those and seal too. Oh and whale blubber. The latter two, let's just say, not worth the trip to Tuk!
3. I've been with my husband since high school. Okay, maybe that doesn't fit your version of weird, but if you had told me at 16 that I'd meet my husband before graduation and would have three beautiful boys and live in Tuk instead of Toronto - I would've thought you were very weird. Are you kidding me? I was going to a news anchorwoman on the national news. I wasn't picky - I would've taken CBC or CTV.
4. I can speak Hindi. Not very well, mind you. I haven't practiced in years and I wasn't very good to begin with. Not weird if you live in India, but a little off centre when living in a small town in Northern Canada.
5. I love hockey. Again, maybe not the weirdest thing in the world, but most of the girls I knew used to just pretend to understand hockey so boys would like them. I on the other hand actually cared about what was going on out on the ice and could care less what was going on in the stands. When I was 8 I wanted to be the first female play by play announcer. I don't think anyone else has cracked that one yet!
6. I read an average of 10 books a week. That is if I'm reading for fun and not taking notes. I can only do four or five a week if I want to take notes. Weird? My friends tell me this is very odd as most can't remember the last time they picked up a book (well other than my writer friends...they all read tons too)
7. I've moved 29 times in the past 18 years. Weird? I don't care, it was exhausting! That's why it made the list for me. That and I can't figure out much else weird about me that I can actually share in public. I do use this blog for professional purposes, ya know?
Okay, so seven people I am going to tag her. This is part four...I'll do number five after I post.
So, where is my reader anyway?

Well, all morning long on twitter people have been passing along this blog tagging game. Christina of Surviving at Home passed it along to me...
First, I have to share the rules of the game:
1. Link to the person’s blog who tagged you.
2. Post these rules on your blog.
3. List seven random and/or weird facts about yourself
4. Tag seven random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
5. Let each person know that they have been tagged by posting a comment on their blog
