Tagged...I'm Confused!

My sister, Shellie, tagged me. I'm not sure what the blogging protocol is since I'm new at this. But I guess I am supposed to answer these questions and post them on my blog:

1. What is your occupation? 24/7 mom, family bookkeeper and tax preparer
2. What color are your socks? In my former life (Arizona), I never wore socks--bare feet or sandals. Now I am forced to wear slippers or socks at all times. Slippers and socks are both blue.
3. What are you listening to right now? A rare moment of silence. The three oldest are at school and the youngest is asleep. The parents are gone. So, the hum of the computer and the typing on my keyboard.
4. What was the last thing you ate? Waffles and sausage. Man, I wish it was dark chocolate, Shellie!
5. Can you drive a stick shift? Yes.
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? dark purple or raspberry--because I like those colors.
7. Last person you were on the phone with? (Not counting the solicitor that called a little while a go.) My husband--who is in Arizona this week--I miss him!
8. Do you like the person that sent this to you? Yes! I love her!
9. Favorite Drink?Anything with cranberry in it. I also really like milk.
10. What is your favorite sport to watch? BYU football. (Or gymnastics or figure skating if you count those as sports)
11. Have you ever dyed your hair?Yes, mostly highlights to help the gray blend in.
12.Pets? A beagle named Boomer who is currently farmed out at my in-law's house (bless them!)
13. Favorite Food? Hmmm. Just about everything--Mexican, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, seafood. Anything with chocolate in it, ice cream, pie, cheesecake, etc.!
14. Last movie you watched? Can't remember--haven't watched one in a while. I think it was Masterpiece Theater's version of Jane Eyre.
15. Favorite day of the year? Lots of them. I don't have favorites. Too limiting.
16. What do you do to vent anger? Yell if I'm mad enough. Hold it in, stomp around, talk about it later if I can control myself.
17. What was your favorite toy as a child? Again, don't have favorites. I played with dolls and stuffed animals and rode my bike a lot. I liked Legos and playsets with lots of pieces.
18. What is your favorite? Fall or Spring? In my former life (Arizona), definitely fall, because the summer heat was ending and nothing but lovely winter weather to look forward to. Now, I'm sure it will be spring since the freezing winter will be ending and nothing but pleasant summer weather to look forward to.
19. Hugs or kisses...Depends on from who. Both from my husband, hugs from everyone els.
20. What kind of pie? Hmmm-can't pick just one--banana cream (WITHOUT coconut!) and pumpkin
21. Living arrangements? My mom and dad's rambler with a basement. Husband and four kids. The place we are still paying a house payment on is a two-story 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2,045 sf stucco with tile roof abode that has new carpet, flooring, paint, and light fixtures in a great neighborhood in Peoria, AZ. You can walk to the excellent k-8 school or the park. Anybody interested in buying it?! MLS#2934771 :)
22. When was the last time you cried? Hmmm. I can't remember exactly. I've felt like crying a lot lately over a lot of things but I usually manage not to. Probably the last time I actually did was 3 months ago--the day after my husband lost his job, the car wouldn't start, and my roof started leaking.
23. What is on the floor of your closet? Shoes.
24. Who is the friend you've had the longest that you are tagging?The blogger I've known the longest is Shellie, who is my sister so I've known her since I was born, but I guess I can't tag her because she tagged me first. I'm not sure who I'm tagging yet because I'm new at this blogging thing and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to tag anyone.
25. The friend that you have known the shortest amount of time that you are tagging? Don't know yet--see above.
26. Favorite smell? Chocolate. Baking bread. My kids' freshly shampooed heads.
27. What inspires you? Getting to know people and seeing how unique and amazing each person is--the amazing things they think and do. All of the miracles that come from heaven daily.
28. What are you afraid of? The financial devestation that will probably occur the next time we go to the dentist since we haven't been able to go in a year with all the chaos in our lives. That our house will never sell and we will be in limbo forever.
29. Plain, cheese, or spicy hamburgers? Exactly what my sister said--Not too big on hamburgers, but I’d make sure it had cheese and avocado and bacon.
30. Favorite cat breed? I don't like cats.
31. Number of keys on your key ring? Eleven. I'd be hard-pressed to tell you what they are all for.
32. How many years at your current job? Mom for almost 14 years.
33. Favorite day of the week? Again, no favorites. But Monday is definitely NOT it.
34. How many provinces have you lived in? None. How many countries have you been to? Just one--the United States of America. Pretty pathetic, huh? Don't remind me--it is one of my disappointments in life. I plan to remedy that before I leave the planet. However, if I never get to go to more than one country, I'm VERY glad that one country is the good old U.S.A.

OK, you did it right. A for passing it on, you don't have to cuz there's no tagging police out there but if you want to know more about someone who blogs, you go to their blog and tell them you tagged them. If you don't know anyone else with a blog, look on my blogring or blogroll or comments to find people. However, reading other people's blogs can get addicting, so be careful!
