A Cup of Tea With Me

Well, it seems I was also tagged by my dear beautiful friend, Becki at A Walk Through the Valley for this meme, also. Becki, I am not sure how I missed it, , but I did so I decided to give it another go. This time I am using the clause in rule # 2. This is what I wanted my middle name to be as a child.

You see, my brother and sister both had “Ray” in there middle names. I was jealous. They were both named after my dad, and I was named after his mom. I got over the jealousy, and never had my middle name changed, but I never lost my love for the name that I was trying to convince my mom to legally change my middle name too. *I am wondering if this was a smart idea, since my “dream” middle name is a lot longer than my real middle name. I do not know if I know that many people to tag. LOL!*

Here are the rules:

1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.
2. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of their middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.
3. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post containing your own middle name game facts.
4. At the end of your blog-post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

My desired middle name is Raeanne:

R - Real - I am very real. I have nothing to hide from anyone. My mistakes make me part of what God made me. One of my life beliefs is that step I have taken, every mistake I have made, has made me who and what I am today. I would not change any of them. Ask me anything, and I will be open about my answers.

A - Antique - A little Hubby humor. On my 25th birthday, he sent me a dozen roses with a card saying “Happy Antique Day” because if I was a car, I would be an antique now. Yes, I am antique and proud of it! - I love my hubby!

E - Expressive - I have been told many times that I have one of the most expressive faces. My bible study teacher uses my face as a gauge as to whether she is getting her lesson across the the class.

A - Antiphospholipid Syndrome - I have Antiphospholipid Syndrome. It is a fact of life I must face every morning. I am still learning so much about it that at times, I am blown away. It affects a lot of my life.

N - Never - I am learning to never say “never.” As soon as I say it, God shows me that if it is His will, I will do it whether I want to or not.

N - Nervous - I have many nervous habits. One of which is rubbing my palms on my cheeks. I do not know what triggers it, but I do it, just the same. It drives some people crazy. It used to drive Hubby crazy. I am so glad he has learned to accept it.

E - Excitable - The smallest things make me happy. I get excited about almost anything. A new treat, seeing an old friend, an email from a family member I have not talked to in a while… You name it, it makes me excited.

Now I have to tag one person for each letter of my (dream) middle name:

1. Ang - I am sure she will post this at her life blog, but all my readers need to visit her faith blog, as well.
2. Liz - Looney Mom. Liz can always make me smile, when I visit her blog. Much like me, she has her pain, but who does not? Oh, and she is expecting a grandbaby, any day now. Stop by and give her encouragement for the wait.
3. Katie - Joy Overflowing. A sweet Christian friend of mine.
4. Laura - Opinion Mom. Great blog.
5. TK - Her Comfy Chair. Hope you are feeling better today, Teri.
6. Lynn and/or Dineen - Spiritually Unequal Marriage. I do not know how you all feel about MeMes, but I would love to hear from you (both).
7. Laura - Org Junkie. Another great friend with another great blog.

I cannot believe I actually was able to name 7 people. I know that not everyone likes MeMes, and so if you do not want to do this, I understand.
