I happened to be googling my blog this evening (don't ask me why; I just felt like googling my blog) and I found out, completely by accident, that I was tagged for two different memes back in July! And I had no idea whatsoever about this! When you tag me, please leave a comment to let me know I've been tagged! I do try to keep up with my friends' blogs, but I'm afraid I don't always get to read every post, so if you don't let me know I might never discover that I've been tagged. (Unless I google myself again on a whim.)

Erin from Seven Little Australians tagged me! Thanks so much, Erin! :-D

The rules:

1. List Seven Things That Make You Awe-Summm!
2. Pass the award on to seven bloggers you read religiously.
3. Tag those seven bloggers.

Ummm. . . seven awesome things about me. . . not the best tag for cultivating humility, LOL. I'll see how I go. . . 

1. I have an awesome God

2. I have a truly awesome family!

3. I. . . uhh. . . I can play guitar!

4. Umm. . . I. . . am a decent cook! I love baking lots of sweet things.

5. This is hard!! Like Napoleon Dynamite, I feel that I "don't have any good skills", or any other awesome things about me, LOL. Okay, I just thought of something - I have an awesome blog! And the awesomest thing about my blog is the fact that I've made so many friends through blogging. :-)

6. I live in an awesome country! I love Australia. It's an breathtakingly beautiful land.

7.  This isn't an awesome thing, but I've completely run out of awesome things, so: I have really long hair! Well, fairly long. Way past my waist. I'm trying to get it to 1 metre long. I don't know why, I just think it would be cool to have hair a metre long. :P

Whew, that was one hard tag to fill in!

Now, seven people: Bria, Jen, Autumn, Barbara, Alexandra, and my twin sisters, Grace and Naomi (my sisters have private blogs, if you'd like to read their blogs, please email me).

Now, Alexandra gave me the Honesty Scrap Award! Thanks, Alexandra!

Rules:

-Thank the person who gave the award to you
-Post ten honest facts about yourself
-Pass the award onto seven others.

Ten honest facts. This sounds a bit easier, LOL! 

1. I tend to procrastinate.

2. I used to think Hippocrates was pronounced Hippo Crates (as in hippo for hippopotamous and crate as in a large box).

3. I sometimes stay up late reading. 

4. I have grumpy moods. And upset moods, where I cry upon the least provocation. In other words, I'm female. . .

5. I am hopelessly hopeless at sports.

6. I can be (read: am) messy and disorganised.

8. I can be very shy, and I usually find it extremely hard talking to people who I don't know well.

9. I had a massive crush on Prince William when I was about 12 or 13 (didn't we all? :P). I don't like him anymore though, FYI. 

10. I am really, really bad at maths.

Well, I don't want to tag the same people all over again, so I might pick some others. But if you'd like to do the tag anyway, even if you didn't get tagged, please do so. Or if you were tagged but don't want do it, of course you don't need to if you don't want to!

Erin, Gae, Deanne, Embrethiliel, Adam, Laurie, and Joanna.

That was fun. :-D I'm glad I chanced to discover those tags through google!

Question for American readers

Are you able to listen to my playlist? There seems to have been some sort of a crackdown on Playlist.com. I can't listen to any of the songs on the playlist here on my blog. Mada says he's been having the same problem on his blog playlist.

Anyway - I was wondering if the tracks refuse to play in the U.S.A. too, of if it's only an Australia/New Zealand thing. Let me know!

A Damsel's Daybook III

Oh, man. . . *headhitskeyboard*. . . why do I ALWAYS forget to do this on Mondays? Oh well - now you all know how bad my memory is. How do my poor family put up with me?

Well - better late than never, I guess.

A Damsel's Daybook

Outside my window. . . lots of golden early-morning sunlight. 

I am thinking about. . . the bookmooch book that I've got to send to someone in America, some biscuits that I'd like to (maybe) make today, the bookshelf that we really need but don't have. Must go bookshelf-shopping sometime. . . we have about 8 bookshelves/bookcases in our house, but we're starting to run out of room for new books (again). Perhaps we could put a shelf next to the toilet - er - ahem - lavatory. Then whenever you go to the loo, you can just reach up and pick whatever reading material takes your fancy! Good idea? Mmmm, maybe not. . .

From the kitchen. . . not much. Maybe some leftover porridge - all cold and gloopy by this time (yuck!).

I am creating. . . hmm, not a lot. I am starting to get the knitting itch again, though.

I am reading. . . Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens!

I am hearing. . . brothers and sisters talking and playing, quietly. The garbage truck outside. . .

I am hoping. . . that the Bulldogs win against Geelong this weekend! (The AFL finals are about to start, so you'll have to excuse me if I go a little bit crazy over the next few weeks.)

I am planning. . . hmm, not a lot. I'm not much of a planner, to be honest. Okay - I am planning to be better at planning and organising.

I am wearing. . . long cotton skirt, dark purple. A little black top, and a pink chenille jumper/sweater (it's still a bit cool this early in the morning).

My wish of the week. . . that the Doggies will win the premiership! Yes, it's wishful thinking - but that's the whole point, remember!
