Anne from The Tall Poppy and Nicole over at The Modern Goddess have encouraged me to reveal some more about myself with this little game of online tag.

First of all I need to tell you the rule of this tag.

a)  Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves.

b) The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed.

c) At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

So… here are my 8 things:

1.  After school I intended on becoming a photographer.  After becoming disheartened, I did a 360 and studied Clerical and Desktop Publishing courses instead.  I did get back to photography, working as an assistant with a Wedding Photographer for about six months.

2.  To save some money, I was a chauffer with a local wedding hire car company (on weekends) for about a year.  I got to drive around in Jaguars…very nice!

3.  Similar to Nicole from The Modern Goddess, I too sang with my school choir in the Opera House when I was in the sixth grade….just in a different year.  Unfortunately, I didn’t keep up with singing, so the voice is long past rusty.  These days, my car is my opera house!

4.  When finishing high school, I ditched the traditional “schoolies week” and went to Adelaide by myself to catch up with some family.  I ended up spending several days with my cousin, his girlfriend and their friends (whom I had never met before) on a houseboat on the Murray River. 

5.  My husband and I met at the Karate club we both went to.  I had achieved blue belt, before I stopped going due to an issue with my back.

6.  While holidaying in Nambucca Heads one year my friend and I decided to paint a rock on a break wall near the lagoon…it is a tradition, there are hundreds of painted rocks there.  Unfortunately, the next day proved that the painted rock was not the only achievement of the day.  I had been sitting with my legs in a v shape to one side…the entire right side of each of my legs was badly sunburned.  I looked like I had candy stripe legs for the next 2 weeks!

7.  My favourite book is currently ”Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas” by James Patterson.   I am also a bit of a Harry Potter fan, and have yet to read the latest and final edition.

8.  I love to write.  Since my first son was born, I have periodically written down stories about things he has done or my journey through motherhood. 

 Now…I’m not sure I know 8 other people with blogs that haven’t already been tagged.  So, I tag anyone reading this to play this game.  Once you have, be sure to come back and let me know!
