So I was tagged more than a month ago by another blog writer and because I couldn't get in to read her site for weeks, am just now responding... (For anyone who doesn't understand tagging, it's when someone who blogs does something on their blog and then challenges you to do the same thing on yours...) If you go to http://www.kellywell.org/date/2005/06/page/2/, you can see Kelly's answers to these fun questions.

Here are mine:

Three screen names I’ve had: I'm pretty stinkin' boring on this one - I always use either cathyandasia or Chatty Cathy. The Chatty Cathy comes from Mrs. Lenhard, a childhood friends' mom who always called me that. They had a piano, but nobody at their house played, so whenever I would go over to their house, she would say "Oh, Chatty Cathy, play me a tune..." I dreaded playing Mrs. Lenhard a tune, but I always did it.

Three things I like about myself: I think I'm pretty funny (at least I can really crack myself up... ), I have great legs. I'm a very loyal friend.

Three things I don’t like about myself: I have the classic Carson butt - horrifically flat and wider than wide. I have a tendency to think I'm always right. I'm lazy.

Three parts of my heritage: I used to tell kids I was related to Kit Carson - does that count?

Three things that scare me: Turbulance on airplanes. Driving near rivers with my kids in the car - I always imagine us driving into the river and I would have to decide which kid to get out of the car first... Being in the dark when Asia is trying to scare me.

Three of your everyday essentials: 1. Chapstick (in the generic sense, not the brand name sense - I actually prefer Bath and Body works Vanilla Sugar flavored lip balm.) 2. A hot cupasomethin' when I get up. It always used to be coffee, now I'm trying to make it green tea as often as I can. And 3. I gotta wash my face as soon as I get up - I can't stand that slippery greasy morning face feeling.

Three things you are wearing right now: Jean shorts, a red sleeveless top, my wedding ring.

Three of my favorite songs: "Georgia" sung by Ray Charles. "Choose Life" by Big Tent Revival and "Yesterday" by Switchfoot.

Things I want in a relationship: Laughter. Patience. Communication.

Two truths and a lie: I was thrown from a rolling car when I was 14. I have double jointed shoulders. My father was a trapeeze artist with Barnum and Bailey from 1956 to 1960.

Three things I can’t do without: God's word, pen and paper.

Three places you want to go on vacation: Tuscany, Paris, and always the Oregon coast.

Three things you just can’t do: Cartwheels. Make small talk. Dance.

Three kids names: Mystical Purple Haze, Moon Unit, Running Dookie.

Things you want to do before you die: Spend a month in Paris. Give up soda. See my kids serving God as adults.

Three celeb crushes: John Cusack. Bill Pullman. Christopher Plummer. (Not so much now that he's almost 80, but in The Sound of Music he is SO sexy...

Three people you want to know these things about: Umm, I don't think there are three people who read my blog who also blog... so I'll be leaving this blank. If you want to be tagged, consider this your invitation and be sure to leave me a comment so I can go read your answers!

Look at this!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
