l’ve been tagged twice this week!

Chris Marsden (@cruciformity) of ChrisMarsden.com and Melissa (@WebBetty) of The Web-Betty Blog have both tagged me to tell you 7 things about me.

It’s actually the same meme I did back in April.

But, let’s give it another go-round and see if I can come up with 7 new things to tell you about.

  1. I’m actually pretty short – only 5’1″.
  2. I have an Industrial & Systems Engineering degree.
  3. But, I currently work in e-learning and have taken a keen interest in it.
  4. I used to dance to commercials when I was little. (In Puerto Rico, commercials have actual songs in the background, not just jingles and such. Well they did back when, at least. Don’t know if they still do.)
  5. I still love to dance and miss going out clubbing. Not for the club scene, but just for the dancing.
  6. I never had an Easy Bake Oven as a girl, even though I wanted one. I’ve contemplated buying one for myself. I mean, for my daughter. When she gets old enough.
  7. I cook good. So I’ve been told by friends and family. And the husband.

Now I get to tag 7 bloggers so I/we can learn more about them.

To quote Chris:

Check out their sites. Follow them on Twitter. And if you want, consider yourself tagged as well, follow the rules below, and leave a comment here with your blog address and twitter address. And don’t forget to follow me on twitter too [@modernmami]!

THE RULES:

  • Link to the original tagger(s), and list these rules on my blog.
  • Share 7 facts about myself in the post – some random, some weird.
  • Tag 7 people at the end of my post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
  • Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or Twitter.

Do you feel like you know me a little bit better? How about you share some information about yourself?

Leave a fact about yourself and/or a link to your post in the comments so we can all learn more about each other!

I’ve been tagged -

1stopmom has tagged me to share 7 random/weird things about myself and then tag 7 more people to do the same.

  1. I hate socks. I only wear them because I have to, but I take them off as soon as I can. And, I don’t recycle socks – if I wore them even for 5 minutes, they go into the hamper.
  2. I don’t drink coffee. I can’t stand the smell/taste. My coffee equivalent is chocolate milk. I looove chocolate milk!
  3. My husband and I met over the phone and talked for a year before we met in person.
  4. I’m Boricua.
  5. My daughter is TriniRican – I guess that’s not really about me, huh?
  6. I still like to listen to freestyle music – I’m old school like that. ;)
  7. I have a Second Life.
  8. I owe you all an extra (see #5 above) – I keep up with friends and family better online than via the phone. So, if you don’t have a FaceBook or MySpace account (or Twitter), you probably don’t hear from me as much as you’d like to. Sad, huh?

Now I get to tag 7 people to share their 7 random things:

  1. Mutha Mae from Word to your Mutha
  2. Jenny from The So Called Me
  3. My girl at Forever Always Weddings
  4. Super Mom in NY from Getting out of Debt
  5. Rae from Ramblings of a TV Whore

And I can’t think of any more folks, so you only get 5…

Join the fun if you’d like and leave a link to your post in the comments!
