Just when I'd resigned myself to existing under the ActiveRain radar -WHAM! 

First, here is a link to her blog, Margaret Woda, and her latest meme post. BTW Margaret, your high-speed chase story was awesome! You have put the fear into me -my son just got his driver's permit!   

Here are seven things about me: (Clipart? no time for clipart - use your imagination!)

•1)      I have the most wonderful kids in the world. I think all kids are great - mine are no exception. I believe that I am witnessing a living miracle every time I look at them. I don't think I tell them that often enough - they think I tell them too often.

 •2)      Claims to fame: My great-great uncle was an Olympic Gold medalist (trap shooter). I met Marcel Marceau when I was 10. I stood next to Eddie Vedder at a Mariners game once. (He probably doesn't remember.)

 •3)      I can be brutally honest without realizing it and my husband says I am way too opinionated to sell real estate! Hasn't slowed me down yet...

 •4)      I know I sound like a cheeseball, but I truly love selling real estate. I love my clients, I love taking care of my sphere with all kinds of spiffs and goodies and I love putting on my waders and helping people navigate the sometimes very muddy waters of our industry. I even love all the other agents - they are either dear friends or a constant source of material!

 •5)      I am a terrible housekeeper. Oh well. Here's what I think of monthly yard maintenance: best money I ever spent!

 •6)      I can multi-task with the best of them - but I CANNOT figure out how to run all the remotes that are required to turn on our entertainment system. I guess that's what children are for.

 •7)      Tops on my playlist right now... Coldplay, Weezer (always), John Legend, Angels and Airwaves, Earth Wind and Fire, NPR radio - LOVED the credit-default-swap program. Listen to it online if you haven't already!

Below are the seven people I am tagging. If you are one of them - read below for the rules. I will apologize in advance to you all - but you really have Margaret Woda to blame for tagging me in the first place. Remember, she has a lot more clout at ActiveRain than I do and she obviously knows a lot of people in the government- so compliance is a really good idea!

Gerry Khatchikian - Prudential Red Lodge           

Silvia Dukes - Tropic Shores Realty (fellow Rotarian!)

Alysha Munoz - Keller Williams, Santa Rosa

Bridget Cella - Weichert

Kim Tomasko - C21 Hometown

Mary Lockman - Windermere Methow Valley (love it there!)

Mark A. Moore - RE/Max Alliance

Good Luck and Happy Memeing to you all! 

THE RULES: (as passed along to me...)

• Create a blog post with a link to the person who so happily tagged you for a MEME.  See above.  
• List all of these rules in your post. Feel free to cut and paste this.
• Share 7 things that others may not know about you. Do or have I HAD a life outside of real estate?
• Identify 7 other ActiveRain members to tag for a MEME, and provide links to their blogs in your own MEME post.
• Contact each of the tagged members and let them know that you were indeed fast enough to catch them and that you did indeed tag them...no matter how much they say you missed them!
• No schoolyard rules in this MEME, nope you gotta do it if you are tagged.  (I hear the MEME police are out in force, rounding up folks who ignore this "invitation")
• Post a link to your MEME in the comments of this post - the one in which you were publicly tagged!)
• Include your post in the MEME's Group.  (I actually sent you an invite to the MeMe's Group, which included your notice that you were tagged for a MEME.
