Holiday Spirit and Stuff

"Mr. Snowman"

Being that it's the 3rd of December...I thought I should try and get myself in a little holiday spirit today (bah humbug hee hee)...and Mr. Snowman is just the person to do it! I think I collaged him when I was eight years old and amazingly enough have kept him intact all these years. I always thought he would make a cute Christmas card...although I would have a hissy fit if our card did not have a dog on it!

So...Miss Melissa (awesome dog artist!) at Pugnotes tagged me the other day to reveal 5 random facts about myself. Oh geez, you know this requires brain power, Melissa!...

1) I love movies, my favorite actress is Cate Blanchett.

2) I was featured in the local news as an ice skater when I was 5 years old. I stuck my tongue out at the camera when they were filming and my grandmother was forever mortified by that incident.

3) I have to eat cashews every day. It's a serious addiction.

4) One of my ancestors is Benjamin West, an American Painter. He died on March 11...and I was born March 11. Kind of weird. I don't think he painted dogs though...too bad.

5) I am a Saluki after taking the "What kind of dog are you" quiz.

Rules:
Link to the tagger and post these rules on your blog.
Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.


Now I know it's the holidays so if you can't play along I totally understand...but I will lovingly tag...

Oh and my Lindy Loo was named after my best friend of 31 years, Linda, whom we fondly dub Miss Lindy Loo when the occasion fits!

Dear dear Linda,how can I refuse you? I don't know all the blog bells and whistles yet so here are my 5 things you may now know about me...
1.I was an extra in 2 John Waters movies "Serial mom" and "Desperate Living"love that pause button!
2.I am the whole family caregiver or sounding board(whiners)
3.I live for music! I feel it is the soundtrack of our lives.Some songs painfully wonderful the others painfully sad.
4.I feel I have a "dimension" of feeling too much or others feelings.
5.I think women should be more sensitive then they have become.
