I've Been Meme'ed!

Karl Kapp tagged me to join the ranks of those among the Meme out there. This one -- Tell 7 Facts about myself.

First, posting of the rules!

The Rules:

1. Link your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post.
2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged

7 Facts

1. I am a musician, turned educator, turned technologist, turned musician, turned educator. I am certain that cycle will continue -- it makes me smile when I think about how fortunate I am to say that.
   
2. My hobbies become passions including Mountain Biking (1 did 1 race and decided to stick to it as a hobby), Cars (I spent 4 years racing, helping others in the sport, taking care of cars, doing mechanical work and detailing that I continue today), Photography (I learned in 9th grade and continue to be as active as I can be), Home Design (I learned in HS about drafting and love to doodle, even helped design our recent home addition), Interior Design (no training, just love to do it).
   
3. I love dogs but could never have 1 - I am too fussy about the house and cars.
   
4. I think saxophones are the most beautiful instruments!
5. I have only blogged for 2 months and I am hooked. (For personal and professional reasons).
6. My blog posts are all too long! No one has complained, but I get the sense!
7. I must have chocolate every day -- it tames the wildest spirit, frees the mind and brings peace to all.

Now -- I have a problem. I don't know 7 people to tag who are blogging. I know 7 people, but not 7 bloggers. Boy, I need to get out more. I'll see who I can round up.

Have fun!
