Tagged!

I'm low on blog material today, and busy prepping for a training presentation I am doing tomorrow and Friday in Atlanta, so it's a good time to get caught up on some tags I've gotten and have not yet done:


I was tagged weeks ago by Jenn to do to the Mom & Me Meme:


First, post a picture of you and your kid(s):



All the new pictures are going onto a different computer, so here's a semi recent one from our visit to the aqaurium this summer

1. How many children do you have? One, Cooper James

2. What are their ages? 2

3. What time do you start your day? Early. Cooper wakes up around 5:30 everyday, so I do too.

4. What do you eat for breakfast? Usually coffee and toast with peanut butter.

5. Do your kids watch TV? Yes - usually a cartoon in the morning and a cartoon in the afternoon. Cooper's all time favorite is Little Einsteins, but he also watches Thomas and is starting to be interested in the Backyardigans.

6. What are their favorite activities? Cooper loves books, so we do a lot of reading. He loves his Cars and Thomas train set. He also loves to play outside. He has recently devloped a love for dinosaurs too.

7. Do you get a break during the day for some you time? Not daily, but I do get in 'me time' in other ways. Some evenings if I need some 'me time', once Cooper is in bed I will go out and do some shopping on my own. Also, when I travel for work and I have a free evening I do 'me' things then, too. I will have one of those nights tomorrow in Atlanta.

8. How do you end your day? Reading

9. What is your best parenting advice or tip? Have a support system!

I also got tagged by Steph for the Friend Award

1. Do you have the same friends since childhood? My closest friends are from college, one I met at work, and one from high school.



2. What do you value most about your friends? They are always honest.



3. Are your friends sounding boards? Yes. I can go to them for advice on anything.



4. What is your favorite activity to share with friends? Since we don't see each other all that often, anytime we get together is my favorite activity!




And, finally, I'm adding in the book Meme too..



Here are the rules: Grab the nearest book. Open the book to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the next two to five sentences on your blog along with these instructions. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. Tag five other people to do the same.



The book closest to me is "The Debutante Divorcee" by Plum Sykes. And, yes, it is chick lit. I like it. Page 56, 5th sentence:



With that, he put the phone down. What was I doing at six o'clock tonight? I quickly flicked through my diary: I had a meeting with Thack and the senior buyer from Neiman Marcus this afternoon. It would be heavy going -- I was sure Niemans would barely order a thing from the new collection. Maybe it was a good thing Milton was coming over later, I thought. He would definitely cheer me up after that meeting. It didn't mean I had to hire him.


Oh, yeah, and I am tagging anyone who has not yet been tagged!
