So now you get to learn some weird things about me and I'll even make you guess one.
But what is a meme do you ask? It is all about me and I am going to tell you some things you wouldn't find out in any of my other posts.
I was tagged in Valerie Zinger's post which started by Eleanor Thorne's The 2011 BHAG MeMe. But what is a BHAG? It is BIG HAIR AUDACIOUS GOAL. Here's Eleanor's MeMe Rules (please paste the following paragraph into your post as you are tagged)
What is YOUR Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) is for 2011. I'd also like to know more about you, and your background, what is it about you that makes this BHAGso important? What experiences are you bringing with you into 2011 that will make this BHAG work? So I'm asking you to please share 5 or 6 things about yourself, and then tag.

Here is my BHAG for 2011 : To become healthier. I know that sounds like a clique but I have chronic pain due to having fibromyalgia and recovering from 2 injuries. I'm tired of pain so I want to get stronger and more fit which will help the pain.
I have a second BHAG and that is to become more tech savvy with all the social media options for marketing my business. No more putting it off!! It's only Jan. 19th and I already have increased the "likes" on my Business Facebook Page from 4 to almost 60, have set up a Google Profile, learned more about Keywords, and have 3 pages of blog ideas down on paper.

A little about me that you may not know:
1) I was born and grew up in North Dakota. I went to a two room school house with no plumbing so we had outhouses. And no.....I am not THAT old. I was the only second grader and the town I lived in was less than 50 people.
2) In high school we moved to the big metropolis of Fargo, North Dakota where I graduated in a class of over 500. My high school had over 2000 kids in it which is 40 times larger than my previous home town!! Quite a change.
3) I had my picture in Teen Beat Magazine back in the 70's when Michael Jackson was on the cover. Can you guess why????
4) Although first going to college for Interior Design I went back to school for Accounting. I received a BS in Accounting and then got my Master of Business Taxation Degree. Can you say Boring??
5) I was a CPA/Tax Accountant for 25 years first in International Accounting Firms and then owning my own practice; all of those years in Minneapolis, MN. Six years ago I was trained in Home Staging and knew it was what I was suppose to do to get back to my first love.
6) I am in the 30th year of being with my husband. What do I get for 30 years? Emeralds? Diamonds? The Caribbean? Just so it's not a 'Paper' anniversary. I had enough of that while being a tax accountant.
7) I am a HUGE animal lover and we rescue abused and neglected St. Bernards and nurse them back to health until they find their forever homes. We currently have two Saints of our own. Timber is 192 lbs. and Sally is 155 pounds.
8) I read a book a week and knit sweaters, mittens, and purses for fun.
So now.....drum roll please...... I tag Roger Mucci, Tammy Pearce, Cara Marcelle Mancuso, Craig Daniels and Jane Grant. Write your post and then come back here and post your link.
And don't forget to guess....Why was my picture in Teen Beat Magazine in the 70's?
