I've been Tagged ("by two")

So my sister tagged me a few days ago, and I suppose I should respond. Especially since I haven't taken any pictures this week!

Two Names You Go By: Well, one is the name of the blog, Na-ding-a-ling. Thanks goodness not very often, and only by my family. (However, my college roommates may have used it a few times also!) Two---hummm... let's think about this. Howcome the only two nicknames I can think of are not flattering!!! Something is wrong here, but the only other nickname I have is Na. You might not think that is bad, but my siblings would always say it "Neigh" with their best horse impression possible. Do I look like a horse? I don't think so!

Two Things You are Wearing Right Now: A bra. I do really good since having kids. In college I used to forget sometimes (when you are flat it is easy to forget...really!) I would be so embarrased when I'd be in class and scratch my back or something and suddenly realize that I had forgotten to put on my bra! I haven't forgotten in several years now and I am proud of that fact! I am also currently wearing shoes. I am a barefoot person and shoes usually come once I come indoors. I don't bother to put on shoes if I am not leaving the house. And even then, I don't always wear them. If my husband is with me, he makes me at least bring them in the car with me "just in case".

Two Things You Want Right Now: A dinner date. Unfortunately my husband worked from 1:00am last night until 3:30pm today and is already in bed asleep. I don't expect him to get up until morning. I would also love a clean house. I suppose I could get off the computer and get to work, and I suppose I may, but that is not how I like to spend my Friday nights! Something is so discouraging about doing dishes, picking up, etc. just to have it all messed up again! I wish my kids cared....but they don't.

Two Things You Did Last Night: It was CD's night last night....parent teacher conference, tumbling, and piano lessons. So I shuttled. Then I made Taco Salad for dinner at the request of K....however he worked late and didn't get to eat any of it until 9:00! (and yes, he was back to work at 1:00)

Two Things You Ate Today: Grapes. Yum... I love grapes. I found them last night on sale at Albertson's and just had to buy some. I also had a bowl of ice-cream after I got home from substitute teaching. I also love ice-cream and haven't had any in awhile so that was my lunch today. I know, not so healthy.... but it does have needed calcium!

Two Favorite Drinks: Like my sister, fresh squeezed lemonade. I sure miss the lemons on my parents lemon tree in California. There is nothing better than homemade lemonade on a hot summer day. Another top on my list is Sonics Lemon-Berry slush. I sure wish we had a Sonic close to home!

Two People I am Tagging: My dad---since he has already been tagged but hasn't responded and I am sure he could delight us all with a peek into his day.... and my cousin. I don't care which one. I have a few that check in once in awhile and I would love to hear from any of you!
