C.B. Wentworth tagged me in a game of tag, so it’s my turn to tag 11 others and answer some thought provoking questions with entertaining answers.
The rules for playing blog tag are….
- You must post the rules
- Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post
- Create eleven new questions to ask the people you’ve tagged (or use the existing ones)
- Tag (eleven) people with a link to your post
- Let them know they’ve been tagged
1) What is something you’ve always wanted to learn how to do? Write a book about my life. People would think I’d made half of it up.
2) What is your favorite quote? I have too many to have a favorite.
3) What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done? Faced the prospect of two autistic children.
4) If there were no rules, what would you do? Freak out! I like rules, even if I don’t agree with them (or break them 🙂 ). I don’t like chaos.
5) Stick shift (manual) or automatic transmission? Stick shift, definitely.
6) Mac or PC? They both have their good points and bad points. But the mouse pad on the mac laptop wins by a slim margin.
7) You are a published author at your first book signing. What message do you write with your autograph? Believe.
8) What charity is closest to your heart? Autism and Breast cancer–sorry, can’t choose one.
9) Name something that you think is underrated. Faith.
10) If you could give yourself a new name, what would it be? Lilly Grace.
11) What book or event changed your life? Outlander by Diana Gabaldon for getting me interested in history–something I was always terrible at in school.
Questions for the bloggers I tag:
1. What’s the worst mistake you’ve ever made that cost you a friendship?
2. What would your family say is your best redeeming quality?
3. What would you want your epitaph to say?
4. If you had one month to live, how would you want to spend it?
5. In the movie Leap Year, Matthew Goode’s character asks Amy Adams character, “If your house was on fire, and you only had 60 seconds to grab what you could, what would you take?” So, what would you take?
6. What’s your favorite first line of any novel?
7. What movie has the best morality lesson, in your opinion?
8. If you could time travel to the past, where would you go, and why?
9. Name the one thing you think is most over rated.
10. What one person in your life has influenced you the most?
11. You are a published author at your first book signing. What message do you sign with?
Now for the 11 I tag:
1. mothergrogan
2. Robin Coyle
3. cocoaupnorth
5. Madman
10. Tracie Louise
Well Lilly, congrats on your well deserved award! And thank you for the tag.
I don’t know if I will get used to calling you Lilly instead of Arnel.
Well, really, WTH were my parents thinking with my name. Always been a sore subject with me, especially when I was 18 and was sent a notice asking why I hadn’t registered for the draft, me being a boy and all. I called them up and said, “Do I sound like a boy?” Reply, “No.” Me, “Good, I’m not.” Theuy proceeded to ask me to send a copy of my DL for proof. I said, no, they could come get me if they wanted. I was a saucy little thing at 18, wasn’t I? 🙂
And you continue to be saucy to this day! That is what I love about you.
Any news on your dad’s estate?
Nothing. In fact, getting ready to publish a post on that very subject, actually my meltdown/explosion the other day. I felt like I needed to be a little more real. You think it will scare people away?
Nope. Not at all. I bet you find lots of support.
Oh yikes, thanks for the tag. I will get to it I promise – but your questions are making me go ‘whoa’. I liked the ones you answered better LOL – a lot easier. I’m scared to ask my family what they think my one redeeming quality is. Think a glass of wine is called for before I approach that one!
congratulations on your tag!
Thanks Terry. A little late, but better late than never!
i just received the email just now with this blog story. i am sorry
Oh dear, this is one of those crazy things. No, I meant I was late in responding to the tag post! She tagged me a week ago or so, I think. Not you dear, you are fantastic as always, and more on top of things than me. 🙂
o alright. lol, i thought WP was having issues once again. hehe
🙂 I was horrified when I realized you thought I was saying that to you…
don’t be, i was blaming WP lol
A logical conclusion. I did have a response that appeared then disappeared before I could respond, then a couple of days later, reappeared again.
i guess computers are not perfect,but what would we do without them
back to the dinosaurs…LOL
LOLOL
If you dare to tag me I will bop you!
I know, I thought of that when I was going through the list. I actually try to tag people who seem new and could use the influx of new mail…
phew!
🙂
