So, my pal Bob from Subdivided We Stand & Marathon Man tagged me... I don't know... it's some sort of blogging game I guess... you are supposed to post the rules, (see below) then reveal 8 things about yourself and then tag 8 other bloggers... ok, cool, I'm always up for a little self-deprecating humor...

1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Since real stuff about me isn't very interesting,  how about a twist on the list....

8 things about me that I wish were true?

1. I love cats, I really , really love cats and wish I had 5 in the house right now.
2. I wear a size 2 and I love to shop and I love to iron, so I'm always perfectly dressed and look like I just stepped out of a band-box.
3. I know what a band-box is and have several in my garage.
4. I think it's a very cool marketing idea to raise the decibel level on TV commercials to a point just below that which will cause permanent hearing loss.
5. I am the most patient person you'll ever meet.  I never get bored and can sit and watch paint dry on a board fence for hours.
6. I'm happy-go-lucky, and take life as it comes.  I operate completely without a plan and like it that way.  
7. I'm very good at counting to 8.

I'm tagging my cousin John at Life as I know it, and others to be named later.
