Thrice Tagged By Tish

I was tagged a couple of weeks ago by Tish -- no, I'm not all that good at playing blog-tag. By the time I do my bit and try to catch anyone, all the other kids have gotten bored and gone home and I'm running around the playground by myself. I kind of liked this particular tag because I haven't played "MeMe Monday" in several weeks, which helps me to grow my "101 Things About Me List" (which also hasn't been built upon for weeks)
