Hold the hot chocolate, I’ve been tagged
January 24, 2009
This was originally posted on January 18th, but I’ve updated for self-taggers.
Alright, I’ve got to stop rumor-mongering because making blog-buddy Bart of A Certain Je Nes Sai Quoi nervous means I get tagged. Because it’s my lazy Sunday and I’m really tired, I’m keeping them at Bart’s 4 instead of the original 8. I know you’re fine with that.
4 Things I’m Passionate About:
- Reading
- Learning
- Food
- Relationships
4 Words or Phrases I Use Often:
- Dude…
- Seriously?
- “He like blondes. Chubby ones.”
- Owww…I’m so out of shape!!
4 Things I Want to Do Before I Die
- Explore the world.
- Make sure my family’s been taken care of.
- Run a good animal rescue.
- Learn to speak Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, French, German and Portuguese fluently. (Or at least three of the above)
4 Things I Have Learned From the Past
- I’ve been known to speak in haste. It’s funnier when other people do it.
- It’s better to ask questions and learn than stay silent and hope for the best.

4 People I Tag
- All my readers: If you’d like to participate, please let me know and I’ll link to your posts!
FB of Fabulously Broke in the City’s contribution
Krystal of Give Me Back My Five Bucks joined the self-tagging
As did MEG of The World of Wealth
I’m going to start using the phrase about chubby blondes.
And I want to learn Spanish and Chinese, too. I’m starting with Spanish. Es fácil. 🙂
HAH!
I love it “He like blondes. Chubby ones”
I’ll do the tag. 🙂
Fabulously Broke in the City
“Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.“
I should warn you to leave Portuguese for last. I heard it’s worse than Chinese.

Bart: Formal warning: you may not be able to stop yourself from saying it, once you start. I’ve tried.
Es mas facil, Chino es dificil. (I can’t type acentos.)
FB: You’re a daisy. And Portuguese is worse? Last it is!
So, how are you coming along on the learning the languages, my 9/22er friend? 😉
I want to learn a few languages, too. I seem to be lagging. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin taught himself 6 languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, and German. If he can do why can’t we???
BTW, the personal 6 year fit you for 2009?
Christine: Verra slowly! I have a couple email correspondents who occasionally write to me in Italian and correct my very rudimentary skills; our cleaning lady speaks Spanish with me some mornings. I’m dead in the water on the Japanese and Portuguese. 🙂
Most of the personal 6 year fit me, I can’t remember the one or two things that were less a fit, but it IS only January!
