My 1st (and 2nd) meme of 2009! My lovely friend, Lydia, over at On The Verge tagged me twice because.. well, she was tagged twice.

The first tag is to open my photo folder to you all. Here are the official rules:

1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your bloggy and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 other glorious peoples to do the same thing and leave a comment on their bloggy tellin’ them ’bout it.

Gabrielle, my beautiful 2 year old daughter, showing off her birthday gift from another toddler on my November 2006 birth board (yes, I am still very good friends with all of the ladies and the babies after nearly 3 years). We had a 2nd birthday exchange and this is one of the gifts she got from her friend on the board. She loves that Dora Doodle Pro!

In the second meme, Lydia wants me to share 7 random things about myself. Here they are:

1) I despise my job even though we live fairly comfortably on my salary
(and I should just be happy I have a damn job with the way things are)

2) I am considering buying a Sangria Red Sony Vaio (even though I'm a Mac girl)

3) I am addicted to shoes, handbags and purchasing candles from Partylite

4) I am thirty-five years old and have never been stung by a bee
(or wasp or hornet or any other freaky flying thing)

5) I'm excited for my husband to start school this month!

6) I'm eating a Yoplait Light Fat Free Boston Cream Pie yogurt for breakfast

7) I crave Peppermint Mocha Twist Latte's from Starbucks on a daily basis

Ok, so I am going to pass both of these on to the following:

01. Uncle Vito
02. Kara
03. Jill
04. Scary Mommy
05. Meesh
