Finally, I have been tagged. My first time. I feel so inexperienced. Not like the other girls. So, Cathy Kleeman is the first to do it. I am selective (otherwise known as a bit lazy), and do not have a long list of bloggers that I can tag. It seems that the bloggers that I read have all been tagged lately. I will not tag anyone at this point in my fairly short blogging career. I do need to add to my list of bloggers, so the next time this happens, I will be good and ready. Some research of other bloggers needs to be done on my part. I will get around to it. It is a bit hectic right now with my daughter out of school for conferences and my husband in China for a week.
Anyway, I feel quite flattered that Cathy Kleeman would contact me. Her work is stunning.
So while I am slacking on the tagging part, I do ask that anyone who wishes to comment would tell me at least one thing about yourself. I would love to hear something from those readers who have not commented before (if, indeed, there are any).
Six random things about me:
1. I buy lots of children’s books – for myself. My most recent purchase, as of yesterday is Scaredy Squirrel.
2. I can’t cook. I really can’t. I’ve even had a difficult time making frozen corn. I have mastered boiling water.
3. I like to fondle everything in the school supplies aisle at Target. Clean notebooks, empty folders, and fresh pencils excite me.
4. I sniff books before I buy them. If it smells bad, I won’t buy it.
5. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I like a bit of paganism. I also will steal my daughter’s Tootsie Rolls. Yum. This year my daughter is going to be a tiger. For the first time she will not be a Princess. I will go dressed as a middle-aged mother.
6. My favorite food is lamb. I could have been a vegetarian had I never tasted it. And yes, I do feel guilty when I eat it.
So, bloggers and lurkers, tell me a bit about yourself.
I promise to do better next time.
I promise to post photos soon (my camera is in China with my hubby).
I promise to talk about making art one of these days.
And now it is time to turn off the children's programming and act like a mother. I think we are finally going to do a horse painting kit my daughter got for her birthday (back in February).

Interesting ... not everyone likes lamb. It's one of my favorites, too.
A wonderful thing to baste or serve with lamb is a balsamic/mint sauce. Pour a small bottle of balsamic vinegar into a pan over a lot of fresh picked mint. Boil down the mixture until the vinegar is very much reduced and syrupy. Strain the mint out. It will keep for a long time in the refrigerator. However, it's so good that you may be tempted to eat it by the spoonful without the lamb. Ice cream?
Interesting recipe. My husband is a balsamic vinegar freak.
A friend of ours introduced us to strawberries with balsamic vinegar. Another friend recommends balsamic vinegar (the more expensive the better) poured over ice cream.
