Amy at Amy's Finer Things has tagged me for this meme. I'm so honored! And here are the 6 things you've been waiting to learn about me. Yeah, right.
- I took piano lessons for 6 years. I stopped part way through high school. I played for many years in 3 different churches. But...I can't "fill in" or play by ear. I have to have the music in front of me and can only play what's written. I haven't played much in a number of years so I only play for me and for God now.
- In high school choir I sang second soprano. In church choir I sang soprano. In my mid-30s I switched to alto. I now sing tenor and I love it.
- I've been on quite a few diets in my life. Here is a partial list.
- Weight Watchers - more than once
- Aids caramels - Available back in the early 70s they were supposed to curb your appetite while satisfying the urge to eat candy
- Low carbs
- High carbs
- Acupuncture
- Atkin's - more than once
- I've been monitored weekly by a doctor. I had to write down everything I ate.
- Weigh Down Workshop - This was the best. I lost 80 pound and kept it off for 3 years. Then the joy of menopause decided to visit me early.
- And now I'm just trying to make healthier choices and belong to a terrific group of women who encourage each other. See some of my "Taking It Off Together Tuesday" posts.
- I've been quilting since 1997. My grandmother made us all quilts when we were small and I've always been interested in quilts. I didn't have the time or resources until '97.
- Hi, my name is Clara and I'm an ice cream junkie. I've been clean for about 2 weeks. AAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! OK, deep breath, in, hold it, out slowly. I'm better now. My current favorite flavor is Chocolate Thunder from Meijer.
- I'm a mom and grandma. I have a beautiful daughter who teaches AP English and Journalism in high school. My terrific son-in-law is a Children's Pastor. I have two wonderful grandchildren and two very sweet granddogs.
And now I get to pass along the joy. Here are the six bloggers I'm tagging.
- Mikki at Here's What Let's Do
- Tammy at Crazy Mom with 4 Boys
- Leigh at Eternal Flux
- Ciara at Life with Hashi
- Cyn Blue at Luna Tail
- Dette at Muthahood Crib

I love these things and getting to know everyone better. You and my husband have the same ice cream problem. He just loves it. I don't really like ice cream and he thinks I'm crazy. Leigh tagged me for this about a week ago I just did it yesterday. I'm going to go to the post and link you as tagging me with Leigh. I don't think I could come up with more so fast. But thanks for tagging me.
Well - it only took me forever. lol - thanks for your patience - I've got mine up finally! :D
