I was tagged by the talented folks at Little Star Soup who were just down the aisle from me at Surtex the year I exhibited.  I love their work.

Now I have to come up with 7 things about myself that supposedly all of you out there don’t know about me, and then tag 7 other people.  Some of you might know some, but not all, I am guessing, so here goes….  I’ll start with a doosey…

* ::sigh:: Let’s just get this one out in the open right now:  My real name is Bambi.  I started going by BJ (maiden name starts with J) Lantz about 16 years ago because no one seems to take “Bambi” seriously.  Longtime friends & family still call me Bambi.  Captain Hubby calls me Toad and I answer to it.  Long story for another day.

* I love to peep in windows at night.  No – it’s not what you think!  When someone else is driving, at night I love to look into windows when people have left the blinds open & lights on. – I don’t want to see the people – I want to see their homes.  This is something I’ve done since I was a child.  The holidays area especially good for this activity as people leave their curtains open to show off their tree.

* I don’t think tasting ONE grape from the bag before purchasing is shoplifting and I do it regularly.

* I am extraordinarily clumsy.  I usually have a mysterious bruise or two.  My husband does not allow me on ladders, my mother still says I am the only person she knows who can trip over air and I am convinced my demise will be a Darwin Award Winner.

* When I am alone in an airport or a restaurant, etc., I entertain myself by people watching and make up stories about the people I am observing.

* Captain Hubby & I have the same birthday (same day, different years).  We spend all day saying “Happy Birthday” to each other.

* Captain Hubby & I lived on a sailboat for a year.  He would still be living on it if I hadn’t needed a real bathroom & more closet space.  Hey, I gave it a shot.

And here are my pass-along-the-tag artists, in no particular order:

1. Gina Rivas

2. Joyce Shelton

3. Brenda Pinnick

4. Phyllis Dobbs

5. Carol Eldridge

6. Diana Evans

7. Kathy Weller

Here’s hoping that everyone gets out there a VOTES today!  Let’s hope that things CHANGE!!!
