Tag - You're It!

I have been tagged by Leigh C over at Poonapalooza. She is a sweetheart and if you have not read her blog then by all means, hop on over there. This was a fairly time consuming task but hopefully we get to learn more about each other...

So here are the rules:

1. You must post 11 random things yourself.
2. Answer the questions the tag­ger set for you in their post.
3. Create 11 new ques­tions for the peo­ple you tag to answer.
4. Go to their blog and tell them that you've tagged them.
5. No stuff in the tagging sec­tion about ‘you are tagged if you are read­ing this.’ blah blah blah, you legitimately have to tag 11 peeps!

**Not that there is too much you don't already know about me but here goes...

1. I have never driven a stick shift and don't know how
2. I did not learn how to cook until my early 30s
3. I have never been married and have no children and at least where kids are concerned, I will never give birth to one. I am not opposed to adopting or being a step mom if the situation presented itself.

11. I used to have my right nipple pierced about 8-9 years ago. I took it out a few weeks after because I was going to travel with my mom and I did not want her to see it. I tried to put it back in after a week and it wouldn't. There is still a hole there.
