I've Been Tagged

I've been tagged by a new blogging buddy Ava Rose Johnson. (And I haven't done a meme in for-ever.)

Here are the rules:

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.

1. I have a compulsion to end a meal with something sweet. And a sub-par meal can be redeemed with an awesome dessert.

2. I'm a very squeamish and nervous person.

3. I love to swim and play in the water, but no squirt guns.

4. I think I'm more stressed now as a stay-at-home mom than when I worked ten hour days as an engineer.

5. I am a proud self-published author. And I may decide to go the same route with book number 2, having learned so much from the first go-round.

6. I sleep on my side, with the pillow tucked between my cheek and shoulder.

7. I wish I was more outgoing and less self-conscious.

8. My thumbs are not average thumbs. My brother used to call them martian thumbs, but my husband just tells me they're 'highly developed'.

Wow, really? Eight people? Okay, probably lots of you have already done this meme but I tag Stephanie, Stacy, Lara, Vicki, Beck, Christine, Sara, and Trish.
