HR Thoughts

Simon Meth tagged me over at SittingXlegged, asking me to reveal 8 random facts about myself. I too wonder why anyone would want to know these things but I'm up for the challenge of finding 8 random facts that you could possibly find interesting.

The Rules:

1) Post these rules before you give your facts.
2) List 8 random facts about yourself.
3) At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names (linking to them)
4) Leave them a comment on their blog letting them know they've been tagged!

Eight Random Facts about me:

1. I love tiramasu and have a really tough time passing it up when I see it on a desert menu.
2. I want a dog I can name Matanuska after a glacier my husband and I walked on during our Alaskan honeymoon.
3. The sound of crashing waves, the smell of the fresh air and the feel of the salt is very, very calming to me.
4. I lived in Germany for 4 years and took every opportunity I had to travel. "Eine bier bitte?"
5. I am not an animal person yet we have 1 cat, 5 guppies and until recently, 1 small frog. The kid gets a hamster when she is 16. I am sure the note I signed (!) agreed to a hamster at 18 but if she still wants one at 16, she can have it! 
6. I enjoy watching my husband and daughter learn guitar side by side - 1,2,1 . . .1,2,1 . . .1,1,2,2. . . 1,2,1.
7. I have discovered writing via blogging.
8. I have some of the coolest, most understanding friends and family in the world.

Eight people I'd like you to know more about because I have learned so much from them:

1. Deb at 8 hours & a lunch
2. Peggy at The Career Encouragement Blog
3. Ann at Compensation Force
4. Rowan at Fortify Your Oasis
5. Kris at The HR Capitalist
6. Scott at McArthur's Rant
7. Wally at Three Star Leadership
8. And just because I want to here her scream from Gowanda NY when she gets this tag, Kimberly at G-Town Talks. 

I am sure most of my tagees check in every now and then so I will not be following the rules of the game to the letter (ssssh) and am forgoing the comments on their blogs! If I did not tag you and you want to play - join in by commenting or linking back to this post.  Have a great day!
