book tag

I read this on Miss Smith at home's blog, and immediately wanted to join in... I haven't been tagged, but I figure this is the internet and I can do what I like... hehehe! ;)

This is how it works:

Go to the closest book to you, not necessarily the book you have just read, or your favourite, but the closest. Turn to page 56 and copy out the 5th line, followed by the next 2 to 5 lines.

The closest book to me was, Jodi Picoult's book, Perfect Match;
"...This is his first sentence in nearly a week.
At the sound of his name, the dog lifts his shaggy head and pokes his nose into Nathaniel's belly. "Well, you asked for it!" I laugh. By the time Nathaniel has managed to push Mason away, his cheeks are flushed with pride. We have not learned much - the signs for want, and more and drink, and dog. But we have made a start."

I want to tag CurlyPops, Marion, Twenty Cent Mixture & Becca!

Six Random Things About Mrs Sew-Funky...

Big Cat has just posted 6 random things about herself and said anyone up for being tagged could consider themselves tagged. Well, since I'm a little bored, with not a whole lot to do, I believe I'm gonna be in on the game! :)

Six Random things about moi!

1. I sucked my thumb until I was 12 year's old. That's the same age as my eldest daughter is now, wow! None of my children ever had that much of an interest in their thumbs.

2. I really only started knitting about this time last year. I first learned when I was 8 or 9, but found it tedious, especially since I am such a perfectionist! This meant I was forever undoing and redoing my knitting - it got to me.

3. I don't like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. A few weeks ago I asked an American friend of mine to make me some peanut butter sandwiches and some jam sandwiches - I ended up with them mixed - very American like. But since I'm a kiwi - eeeeewww! I like them individually but together?!?

4. I never had long hair growing up. It was always cut short - easy care, I guess! My hair hasn't really been cut for about 10 years now. At least, not by a hairdresser. I have been known to trim my own hair occasionally.

5. I love getting facials. Although, I haven't had all that many. I've been known to fall asleep during facials - even snoring! LOL!

6. I always wanted 3 daughters. When I was about 10 I used to dream about it! And look, here I am with 3 beautiful daughters. Someone was listening to that little 10 year old.

If you'd like to take up the challenge and share 6 random things about yourself then consider yourself tagged.

Here are the rules if you want to play by them
