A meme about me

I've been tagged by my dear cousin. If you'd like to know more about me, read on. If not, see ya...

The Rules

1. Post the rules before you give your answers.

2. List one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name.

3. At the end of your blog post, tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name. Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.

My middle names is Sherice (pronounced Sha-Reese). I don't know where mom got it but I think it's kinda pretty. Try livin' life with TWO unusual names!

S: I'm sarcastic. No, really. I am. I think I got it from my dear ol' dad, but Mom can be pretty sharp tounged too. (is that a word?)

H: I'm a hopeless romantic. I love flowers, surprises, holding hands... all that sweet, mushy romantic stuff.

E: Evenings are my favorite time of day. I love getting home, taking off my shoes, and settling in to hear what the kids have to say. Getting up in the morning SUX and then working all day is awful. Next time I'm marrying for MONEY. (like there will ever BE a next time)

R: I, like my cousin, have a racy sense of humor. Hang around my family for any length of time and you WILL be offended at least once. Laughter is my favorite sound though, so if I can get a laugh (or chuckle) out of you by telling a dirty joke then so be it.

I: I recently found out that I am truly part Irish. Some of my ancestors came to the US from Ireland before the Civil War. They lived in Alabama, but I'm not going to claim that part of my heritage.

C: I like to cuss. Alot. I try to temper it around the kids, but they've heard the f-bomb a time or two in their lifetime. The best time to hear my cussing prowess is in the car. If I'm alone and you make me mad - trust me, I'd make a sailor blush.

E: One of my dreams is to visit England. I love everything British... their humor, accents, history... I wish I could live there for a while and soak up all they have to offer. Some day I'll get over there... you can bet your bippie.

Alright. That's it. Now I am supposed to tag 7 people. Hmmmm... who will they be?

1. Biddie
   
2. CindyDianne
3. Valerie
4. Nikki
   
5. TrukinDog
6. Burfica
7. Whatever Girl

If you aren't on the list and wanna do this one, consider yourself tagged, too.
