Meme - my second?

Well, I've been tagged by my friend at The Beautiful Letdown:

The Rules

1. Post the rules on your blog.

2. Write 7 random things about yourself.

3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post.

My Random Things

1. My desk is an explosion of motherhood meets part-time teaching.  On top of a pile of unlabeled kid pictures is my JPS Tanakh (Jewish Bible).  On top of my printer through which all lesson plans are printed is one of Caleb's shirts which needs a button resewn.  Next to same printer is a cloth diaper for capturing Ellie's frequent spit-up.  On the other side of my desk is a pile of midterm projects to be graded on top of books to be returned to various sources (different libraries, one of my bosses, etc) and covering a photo album of yet more kid pictures.

2. I'm writing this at 11:15pm when I should be in bed because both kids are sleeping.  I have long spent the energy I gained from a blessed nap today.

3. I'm stressed about weird things.  I need a hair cut but I keep forgetting to call the salon.  I want a pedicure but am overwhelmed at trying to fit it in before the end of the month when I visit my parents.  I am distressed by the lack of order to Caleb's toys and yet have not reorganized them because I can[t stand the idea of a tantrum due to my cleaning efforts.

4. Oh, and at 11:15pm, there is unfolded laundry waiting for me in my room.  It will not get folded tonight unless my dear husband does it.

5. In the grander scheme of life, I'm wondering what I should be when I grow up, but I don't think I'll ever really grow up.  So maybe I don't have to find a direction?

6. If I do ever find a direction in life, I hope i get to use my little knack of reading people and group energy oddly well.  This gift serves me well when teaching and gives me tsuris (Yiddish for problems, pain in the neckness) when in social settings.

7. I just realized I don't have 7 people to tag.  Ack.  Maybe I need to spend more time on the blogosphere?  Here goes:

Emily
JEN
Shannon
Susie
Leah (do you read this?)
Aaron (who rarely reads this)
Someone point me to a 7th person. :)

Let's try doing one of these

I see these things all the time on blogs, so here's my first go.  I snagged this from[info]momofaanda who apparently snagged it from[info]mandella0021 who said everyone on her FL must do it...and I somehow missed those instructions.
You can do it too....

1. How long have you been on LJ?
Since January 2007.

2. Why did you add me to your f-list?
I feel terrible not remembering.  I think I found you through[info]mandella0021 and liked what you wrote.  Maybe you commented on my blog first?
Oh and I added[info]mandella0021 because I know her through a Yahoo! group and she invited me to read her blog. 

3. Anything I write about that you would like to see more of?
Hmm...I love reading about your kids, but I also like reading about Auntique because I too lost someone I dearly love recently.  It helps me know that I'm not alone (well duh, but you know it helps).

4. Less of? (Don't worry, I won't get butthurt.)
Nah.  Write what you want.

5. Kids? Names and ages...
Caleb, 2.5 years
Elisheva (Ellie), 4 months

6. Favorite food
I love food.  However, I must have chocolate almost daily.

7. State you live in
Chaos.
And Massachusetts.

8. Hobbies
What are those?
OK, seriously... reading (lots of it), used to do a lot more with music, realizing I don't have hobbies anymore and probably should. ;)

9. Something I don't know about you that I may find interesting.
I was/am a band geek.

10. Favorite LJ community
Don't have one.

11. Best personality trait
Perseverance (according to my husband, this is my best and worst)

12. Worst personality trait
Impatience/short fuse

13. # of siblings
None.  Apparently I was either such a dreadful experience that my parents didn't want more OR they thought they achieved perfection. ;)  Those who know me know which I actually believe.

14. Name of spouse/s/so/s
Aaron

15. Voting for...gonna tell me???
Nope.  Those who know will know. ;)
