I have been tagged by Lakia. I have not been blogging for a while, a lot has been going on with friends and family so I have been quite distracted. Bear with me while I attempt to post the rules and tell you a little about myself.
Rule #1- Link to the person that tagged you
#2- Post rules on your blog
#3- Share 6 non important things/habits/quirks about yourself
#4- Tag 6 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
#5- Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
As for me, here are a few items that may or may not be of interest...
1- I attended a boarding high school in Pennsylvania. I consider that special because it was like being in college 4 years earlier than I should havebeen. I learned so much about myself, became independant and still have the same friends to this day and we are very close.
2- I was in Essence Magazine in the September issue of 1973 or was it 1974?? I was 11 years old, sporting an afro with Richard Roundtree (John Shaft). The spread was intoducing plaid as the fashion statement. Susan Taylor was our neighbor in NYC She and my mother became very good friends and to this day she calls me "Wendi Cakes".
3- I served in the US Army and was a true Private Benjamin when I entered. I met my DH of almost 20 years while serving. We will celebrate 20 years on Feb 14, 2008.
4- I was supposed to be the first black Barbara Walters! Where the heck did Oprah come from?? That was really my dream in HS. I went off to college and majored in Communications but quickly realized that folk that had a degree in Communications were not working in their field. I didn't like school that much to spend 4 years and not have the job of my dreams so what did I do?? I changed my major to Nursing. Not as glamorous as Oprah's job but just as rewarding!
5- I do not have a middle name. That is something that has always bothered me. My mother has one and my father does not. It plagued me so that at the age of 13, my uncle Stephan gave me one and I have used it officially on some occasions. The middle name is Caulette which he and I both thought sounded good with Wendi..... As a result, I gave both of my children middle names Ryan Alexander and Ross Avery. Love that!!!
6- I am a loyal friend, almost to a fault and I love to share good finds and information and give people things that I think will make them happy and it doesn't have to be an occasion. Is that so special? I don't know but I consider it one of my better qualities.
Well that's it for now unless someone tags me again. I am tagging Salt and Pepper Diva, Onyxcherry, Goodnapps, Aminacake, Chocolocs and Sophia.

You are making me move girl and figure out how to post a link. I did it before but forgot how to do it. You are the second one to tag me so I guess I had better get my hind parts in gear. GRRRRRRRRRR
WOW. I didn't know all those things about you. The one about sharing good things with your friends, now, THAT one I know. :)
Very interesting facts.
Thanks for tagging me. I was tagged 3 other times so bare with me. :)
hmmm, black female, boarding highschool in PA...did you go to Pine Forge Academy? Just curious, that's where I went to HS and it'd be incredibly cool to find another alumn on here
