I've been tagged by Lynette at Lynette's L.A.M. a few days ago to share 6 random things about myself.
Here's the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you. (Thanks, Lynette!)
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write 6 random things about yourself.
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged and leave them a comment.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
My 6 things (and this isn't easy for me to think of because I'm really not that interesting):
1. The only bean I like is a jelly bean.
2. I'd give up chocolate before sweet tea...and that's saying a lot! (I'm a G.R.I.T., you know. That's a "Girl Raised in the South" for those of you from other parts of the world, and we southerners LOVE some sweet tea!)
3. I almost attended NC State University instead of UNC-Chapel Hill, but my acceptance letter to UNC arrived right before I mailed the check to NCSU.
4. I would have love to have attended SCAD instead of UNC, if I had a choice, but I grew up poor, and going to school in GA wasn't an option for me. Had I done so, I wouldn't have met my husband and had my wonderful daughter, so no regrets.
5. Took piano lessons for 5 years, and still can't play that well, but it would help if I had a piano!
6. My 1st name is Penny....not Penelope! I use to live between 2 airline Pilots, and they were nuts. One of them nick-named me "Penster". Isn't that awful???
Now, I have to tag 6 blogger buddies and let them know they've been tagged by me.

You guys have fun. I can't wait to see your 6 random things!! If it's too much for you to play along right now, then just save it for the new year! Trust me, I understand! LOL!

I love this tag game as you get to know so many thing about each other..thanks PENNY for sharing...hugs and smiles Gloria
So cool to learn more about you...you are so funny. I'm a GRIT too but can't say I'd give up chocolate for tea unless it was chocolate tea...do they make that? Interesting about #3 and looks like it was a good choice since you have such a great family now.
Hi Penny...I love reading these things...you find out such interesting stuff! I went to UNC one semester in the summer as a transient student and loved it. Good choice since it lead to your hubby! Hey, I'm a GRIT too and I love me some sweet tea. My dad always said you can tell whether or not a restaurant is owned by a Southerner by whether or not they serve sweet tea!!! Have a great day...Debbie
Hey Penny... Always love hearing about all our friends... Yours were really good ones... I'm a GRIT too... I was born in Mass but came here at 3 years of age...Thanks for sharing those things...
(((HUGS)))

Too cute! Penster? Never heard that one before...
I love me some tea too! Craker Barrel's sweet tea is my favorite. :)
Hey Tar - I love your random things - they were great!! I'm like Gloria, I love this game, you find out the coolest stuff about people!
I am so busy at work right now - I can hardly play :-(
I am going to get my Christmas pics posted though later on - TODAY!!

LOL...as soon as you said sweet tea over chocolate...I knew you were a "Southern gal" LOL....
I married a Southern boy LOL when it comes to the liquid sweet gold!
Penny, I have been hit with this twice in the past week or so. lol You guys must want to know everything about me....HA Ha Fat chance!!! I loved your answers. It's fun getting to know more about you. Hugs, Terrie
I loved reading your 6 things...
my "pen" name when I first started out on the computer was GRITS...
and I love sweet tea, too...;O)
love, bj
Okey-dokey then...can we start calling you Penny or Penster or stay with Tar...heehee! Great things to learn about you! You did leave out the part about being adorable, witty, precious & stunningly gorgeous though! ♥ Bo
You're not boring at all girl,And I love sweet tea too, just can't make it like they do in GA. When we go there I drink tea everywhere we go. I hounded the people how to make sweet tea like they do, but mine still doesn't taste like theirs.
Hugs,
Chris
LoL! Loved learning more about you...especially finding out your name! I totally get what you mean when people don't get your name right. I have the same problem. Everyone always asumes it is Tammy or Tamera or anything but what it is. My mom just had to spell my name different-it is Tammie and all my family and friends call me Tam. That part is fine I like Tam better-I have never liked my full name-it is so a part of the "times". Every male teacher just had to sing that stupid Tammy song from the 60's to me-UUGHH! I had a freind named Penny growing up. Penny is good! I always enjoy your fun post girl! Have a terrific rest of your week!
~Tam :D
Thanks for the tag...I'll do it up right ASAP.
It's always a pleasure to learn more trivia info about those people I peek in on!
Good...you didn't 'seem' like a Penelope to me.
Penster? Maybe...Penelope? No.
Fun to read more about you! Now the truth is out about your REAL name ~ I thought I was the only one that knew!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your beach house Christmas decor ~ how fun is that?!?!
Love your little Rudolph cursor, too! Thanks for stopping by my new blog. I'll let you know when I "unveil" my newer, bigger, better, older man! ;0)
Big TX Hugs,

I will certainly join in the tag game. I'm having computer problems at the moment and will "catch up" hopefully this weekend. Try that punch, YOU WILL LOVE IT!
First of all, that little Rudolph is precious! Second, I HATE BEANS too. Third, I've never known your name! Hello Penny!
These tags that allow us to know each other better are just so much fun. You don't eat any beans? And you'd give up chocolate before tea? I am a GRIT too, but I would fight somebody for my chocolate! Tea, not much of a fight from me. laurie
