I've been tagged!

My friend, Took, just blog-tagged me. No phone call, no email...just a little "tag, you're it Kim" at the bottom of her last post. She knows I stalk her blog at least three times a day :)

The rules as I understand them are as follows: I have to write 7 little known facts about myself and then tag 7 other people at the end of this blog. So. Here we go...

1. My sister and I used to play make-believe kidnapping with our American Girls dolls, Kirsten and Molly. We weren't the kidnappers, thank God, but we would always enact this same scenario in which someone kidnapped our babies and we would become distraught and frantic and have to go find them. Honestly...our mom probably should've had us in therapy.

2. This might not be too "little known," but I've never been drunk. Not even close; not even once. Why would I voluntarily do something that is guaranteed to make me puke?

3. One month after Kurt and I started dating, I almost broke up with him. It had nothing to do with him; I just got a little freaked out. But he picked me up from the airport after I had been gone for three or four days and he had this sweet little bouquet of daisies with one red rose bud in the middle and his smiling blue eyes and I just couldn't do it. One of the best decisions I've ever made :)

4. There is a very large part of me that feels like I might have been born on the wrong continent. I had dreamed of going to Africa since I was a little girl, and when I finally got there, the food tasted weird and the transportation was frustrating and I desperately missed my family and friends, but my soul felt at home in a way that I am inadequate to describe. I've dreamt of returning every day since.

5. Orange is my favorite color, even though I'm sort of in denial about it. In my head, I'm just not nearly happy and feisty enough for orange, but when I take notice of the colors with which I choose to surround myself, orange is always there. But it's a burnt orange. A spicy orange. Cardamom, if you will, so there's enough angst to balance the happy and feisty :)

6. If I could afford to wear different pairs of cowboy boots everyday, I would. I have a pink and brown pair that I got in Colorado, and they are my favorite pair of shoes.

7. I'm more content now than I've ever been.

I tag Beth, Molly, Nicole, Jen, Anna, Joe (even though he won't like it!), and Kari!!
