Tag! You're it!

I'm new to this blogging 'thing' and was surprised to find that I've been tagged at something already! I didn't even know for sure how to do this, but Alicia from Confessions of a Snowflake is someone I've enjoyed visiting, and she has challenged me to tell 7 things about myself, and to tag 7 others who might do the same!

There are some rules with this tag:
I need to link to the person that tagged me.
I need to share 7 things people may not know about me.
I need to tag 7 people to share 7 things and link to them.
I need to let them know they've been tagged.

Here we go!

1. I was on the Drill Team in high school for two years called the Gold Dusters!

2. Sometimes I get annoyed when Alex turns his music up too loud, but then find myself dancing to it! Thanks Alex! {but can you please turn it down!}

3. I like to shop at Flea Markets and find old things to fix up or keep them as they are! I'm sitting at an old desk now that I found and it still had the life insurance policy in the top drawer! Most people may think it's junk {and sometimes it is!} but I look forward to when my mom and sister visit in the Fall and we shop at the Flea Markets! It's become a tradition!

4. I'm a junk food junkie! I love to sit down at night when the kids go to bed and eat snacks and watch tv! Not friendly for my aging figure, but that's how I relax at night! I like to think I make up for it when the kids keep me active during the day!

5. My favorite tv shows are Gray's Anatomy, Ellen, too many reality shows to name, and some of the dramas like Cold Case, Eleventh Hour and Bones.

6. I'm a compulsive shopper. Oops! I know, I've gotten better {I think} but I enjoy finding bargains and cute shoes... and purses... and....!

7. My favorite ice-cream is mint chocolate chip! Mmmm! I'll have two scoops, please!
