I’ve been tagged! Thanks to Carmen for giving me the chance to participate in this. Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
My random things are…
1. I am being very brave and planning a trip to England in the next year or two. Not very many people know this yet, but I’m so excited I can hardly keep my socks on, even if it is rather far in the future. The main motivation for this trip is research for my novel, so I will be spending alot of time exploring Oxford, the Cotswolds, and the Forest of Dean. With some sidetrips to Bath, Avebury, and a few castles. Hooray!
2. I got a stuffed llama for Christmas! I have named her Hattie, and I love her very much. The llama is my favorite animal, and I have a small (but growing) collection of stuffed llamas.
3. My husband is 12 years older than me. This seems to run in the family–my paternal grandparents were 11 years apart, and my mom was 9 years older than my dad.
4. I have eaten squid. It was rubbery and very chewy, but otherwise okay. Sometimes, I am still surprised that I was brave enough to do this.
5. I am related to Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis. It doesn’t get more Southern than that!
6. I hate soup, with the exception of a good clam chowder and the cheddar potato soup at Marie Callendar’s, which I am constantly craving.
And now, who shall I tag? I always feel weird about tagging people–I worry that they won’t want to participate and consider it annoying that they’ve been tagged, but I also know that I worry way too much about that kind of thing, so… I tag Deirdra, Leonie, Susannah, Amy, Sara, and Joan (in the hopes that Joan is feeling better, if not, don’t worry about it).

thanks for the tag – it’s been ages since i’ve done a meme, so now i have a reason to
you’ll love the Forest of Dean, and Bath of course (i’m a little biased) – if you head to Dorset I can recommend lots of beautiful places to visit

i have a picture that I actually adored with an alpaca and when i saw this one I smiled because it reminded me of that moment
And can I confess you something?
I usually don’t tag anyone for the same reasons, i do the memes and mention my tagger but that’s it, and this time, I decided not to be afraid and stop the overthinking, what wrong I am doing? none! I am having fun and that’s okay if people is busy or forgets, I am having fun and I am so glad you join in the fun, too.
I want to wish you lots of luck in your future trip and in your novela, and also please know I am sending you lots of good energy to make it come true and keep saving the money and don’t be afraid and oh! one more thing, I am glad to hear your husband is super di duper with you and supportive, and that’s terrific about his age men who are at least 10 yrs older than you they have a something, te-hee! (attractive and mature)
Hugs Amy!
p.s. sorry it took me so long to come by, my workspace was being remodeled and I was sitting in a very public eye to dare to leave comments, but I did read your blog when I could please know that
love and hugs!
