My friend Britt from Have Fun * Do Good has tagged me for a meme called 8 Random Facts about Me. Thanks, Britt, for getting me off my lazy blogging ass to finally post again. (The truth is, I was not lazy but drowning in freelance work. Thank god for a holiday weekend.) Anyway, as part of the deal, I'm supposed to inspire posts for eight more bloggers. See if you're one of them at the end of this post.The Rules:
- Post these rules before you give your facts
- List 8 random facts about yourself
- At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them
- Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they've been tagged
1. My first job after college was an internship (read: slave labor) at The Paris Review literary magazine. The office was located in the Manhattan home of editor-in-chief George Plimpton. On my first day I walked in on him in his boxer shorts.
2. I have been to the Greek Islands five times. You might say I'm a little obsessed with a tiny, obscure Cycladic isle called Iraklia. It has a year-round population of 80 and one baker, who delivers his bread in a white pickup truck. It's damn good bread.
3. I love nothing better than a cup of tea and a 19th-century novel. Preferably Austen or Tolstoy.
5. I once posed nude for a famous photographer. I regretted this almost immediately. Thankfully I did not sign a release, so unless someone wants to get sued upside down and sideways, no one will ever see the photographs!
6. It gets zanier than that. I was not just nude...I was doing yoga in the nude with two other women.
7. Might as well add here that when I am not a freelance writer/editor and when I am not a mother and when I am not blogging about homeschooling, I am a yoga teacher at Bliss Yoga Center in Woodstock.
8. What I really want to do is throw it all away and become an artist. I love fooling around with an alternative photography technique called the Polaroid transfer process. The image at top is one of my creations, hand-colored with Prismacolor pencils.
I'm tagging the following blogs:
Dispatches from the Final Frontier
Our Report Card
Like I Have Time for This?
HeartSchooling
Discovertopia
ODonnellWeb
Land of Our Fourmother
Not a Stepford Wife

Your tag is a little late ;)

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I've read a little of yours - kids won't allow anymore right now! So I'll be back later.
RegularMom tagged me with a little while ago. Here's the link:

Your work is gorgeous! I was tagged for a 7 random things meme recently. Does that count? Here's the link:

Haha, thanks for the tag! As soon as I have the chance to assimilate something narcissistic (shouldn't be that hard LOL) I will let you know! ~ Tara
So it seems most of you have done this one before! I enjoyed reading your meme posts and learning some more about you. And I see that I accidentally gave only 7 facts about myself instead of 8. So there's a subject for my next post, hopefully later today.... (And yes, Tara, it does feel a bit narcissistic, doesn't it? But fun.) Thanks for visiting, everyone.
Okay I finally finished it AND posted it!
