Tag

The act of touching someone with hope that they will touch someone else, who will touch someone else, who will touch someone else....

As a first grade teacher I learned a variety of tag games. Shadow tag, partner tag, regular tag....and I would hear my students talk of playing the game out at recess (usually involving a boy chasing girls, or vice-versa. Do you remember that? :)

Adults must miss the school game, thus someone invented the web version of "tag". It is in the heart and spirit of this lovely, fun game that I respond to a "tag" and tell you about myself.

4 Jobs I have Had:
First grade teacher - 9 years
Receptionist, construction company - one summer
4 a.m. custodian, cafeteria salad bar helper - a year each while at college
various assembly line work (assembling computer software packages, frozen hamburgers, and other paper products) - one summer

4 TV shows I watch:

4 Places I have been:

El Salvador (LDS mission, then again for a month to do some service)
Washington D.C. (once with a Youth Symphony in High School and once to visit a friend)

Hey, I never knew you were an assembly line worker, ha ha! That's great!

Fresh fruit, huh? Not much that can beat that, I agree.

You are a teacher who loves tacos and coconut shrimp... no surprise there. I did expect, however, for you to list under one of the things you are looking forward to in 2008 was for sammy to get a little brother or sister!! lol... I have to put all the pressure on you so it will stay off me!!
