I've Been Tagged!
I've been tagged to write about seven things that most people wouldn't know about me. Beth, this is for you!
1. I, too, have a degree in Journalism and have loved writing since early elementary school. I was always the (only) one who got excited in school when the teacher said, "Let's do a creative writing exercise!" I followed the PR track rather than true journalism, but have not done much of that since staying home with kiddos.
2. It is in my life to-do list to someday write a book, probably several. I've planned on this since about the fifth grade, although the topics change over time. I have a book half written already in my head about television and its impact on the family.
3. I guess that leads to another one -- I have a life to-do list! I had a really great one that was in my planner that I LOST (that's right, the whole planner). What I can remember includes starting to play the violin again, writing a book, visiting eastern Africa.
4. I am a spelling, grammar and punctuation NAZI. The red pen queen. I can smell a misused apostrophe a mile away and have been known to call a business and let them know. I do tend to use fragments and such in digital media, though, so don't hate.
5. I was born in Pine Bluff and moved to Sherwood when I was halfway through first grade. Thank God. ;)
6. The one time I can remember going camping as a child, I got about 100 mosquito bites.
7. I do, however, make a heck of a good apple pie in a dutch oven over coals. (Learned from an expert at the museum where I used to work.)

I haven't commented yet to your blog site, but I've been reading! I'll take you up on the red pen for my next term paper I have to write. And when we see you all next time, I'll take some of that pie too!
