I was tagged…so now I will tell you a little about me!

Lydia Taylor February 6th, 2008

My pal Stacy Macioszek over in Bluffton, SC has been nice enough to include me on her list of people that are ‘memed’ or ‘tagged’ to tell a little about themselves. It’s a simple game to get people to share a personal tale or two.

The meme rules are: I state 7 interesting things about me, and then link with 7 people to hear their stories.

Well Stacey, upon reflection, I always thought I had led an interesting life until I had to write something!! Since you were such a great sport doing your meme (you are much more interesting), I’ll give it a shot:

  • When I was a little girl I dreamed of being a stunt woman. I spent several years giving my mother heart attacks practicing my craft. My favorite stunt was when I used my favorite blue skates and an umbrella to sail down the main street of Palacios, Texas.
  • Both my husband and myself come from immigrant families. My father was born and raised in Paris, France; while my husband Austin’s mother was born in Berlin and raised in Recklinghausen, Germany. Both of our fathers served in the military.
  • The best part of my honeymoon to Alaska was sitting on the deck of a ship with Austin under a wool blanket, sipping hot chocolate while watching icebergs float by.
  • I have two sisters, and the one that is closest to my age is fourteen years my senior! SURPRISE baby!
  • My first dog was ‘Mokey’ named after a character on Fraggle Rock. My second dog was ‘Puddles’…no explanation necessary.
  • The first apartment that Austin and I lived in had an interesting plumbing problem…the soap suds from the apartment upstairs would bubble out and over the top of our toilet…NASTY!
  • I love to paint and I love to volunteer for charities. One time I combined both: I painted a 30′ foot mural for an elementary school (with some help)!

Now for the hard part…7 people to link to. Hmm.

So let’s hear from: Dave Smith, Ryan Ward, Eric Bramlett, Wayne & Donna Long (do they count twice?!), Joe Lane, Eric Blackwell, and last but definitely not least, a fellow female Realtor pounding the bricks in Sacramento California: Julie Jalone.

I look forward to hearing your stories!! Anyone else have an exciting tale to tell?

    Lydia,

    Funny stuff. You mentioning that you practiced being a stunt woman made me reflect on a childhood stunt…remember Mary Poppins? Well, a friend and myself tried to jump off of my parents roof with just an umbrella to “float” down to the bottom…it doesn’t work!!! LOL.

    Oh, how funny!! You know they say when you have children, at least one will be just like you! Carma payback for parents. My sister is 14 years older than me too, only there are 5 boys between us. I think that you have led a life of wonderful memories with many more to come. Hopefully soon, we will have some to share.

    Hey Lydia - you’re from a town right down the road from where I am. Been to Austin lately?

  7. # Lydia Tayloron 18 Feb 2008 at 6:32 pm

    Sam, Austin is a beautiful city but it’s been 7 or 8 years since I’ve last visited there. But I’ve been to Houston & San Antonio a few times over the last few years visiting family.
