I've Been Tagged

I must admit, I am such a dork! I am so new to this. I only JUST figured out how to play Blogger Tag, so here it goes - Oh and thanks Leeza for the thoughtful comments on your blog! I am blushing. Can you tell?

OK, so here it goes... 5 random things about me...
1.) My favorite time of year is summer leading into autumn. I love when the leaves are about to change and you know the woods are going to burst into color at any moment. It is like knowing a secret.
2.) My favorite sound is the sound of babies' laughter. Music to my ears. And it is so completely contagious.
3.) I am completely affected by the weather and seasons. But not just in the way that when it rains, I feel sad and want to only stay indoors. Or when it's sunny and warm, I want to be outside. I mean as the sun moves far away from us during the winter, all I want to do is hibernate. It becomes very hard for me to stay active and full of inspiration. That's when I have to work extra hard. I think I was a bear in my former life...
4.) My favorite color is green. Green's the color of nature when its alive and thriving. But I don't necessarily look good in green...
5.) I was born on my mother's birthday. I used to dread celebrating because I felt I never had a special day to myself. Now that she has passed away, my birthdays feel so lonely without her. So I like to write her name on my cake anyway. Dec. 28th - Happy birthday Mom! Miss you everyday!

OK so now that I know how to play, it's your turn. Incase you also don't know how to play, here it goes... I am going to tag some friends. (You're supposed to tag 5 people.) You list 5 random things about yourself on your blog. When you're done, tag your friends at the end of your posting with a link to their blog. But don't forget to let your blogger friends know they've been tagged on your blog.Then it's their turn. They have to list 5 random things about themselves on their blog and tag 5 more people and so on and so on. Make sure to go back to their blog so you can read about their random 5 things.

So, here starts my rousing game of tag... (I would tag Leeza, but she's already been tagged. And she tagged me! However, check out her blog too. She's a very talented and creative children's book illustrator and writer). I tag Jeanne, Cathleen, Rachel and Rebecca. They are all children's book writers and/or illustrators and have great sites.

Happy Blogger Tag everyone!
