I've been tagged!

YIKES.... I've been tagged (thanks, Kelley).... which means (I guess) I have to tag my only other blogger friend, Becky!

1. How long have you been blogging? Just within the last 6 months and I love it!

2. What are the good things blogging has brought to your life? satisfaction in knowing that I'm able to share inspiration and knowledge with friends, family, co-workers, and families of my babies at work...

3. What would you consider the pitfalls? time consuming, but I love to do it

4. Tell us about your blog name. Ever think of changing it? If so, to what? Why? EmbroideryRN... because that's what everybody at work knows me as... I'm their link to personalizing their uniforms (LOL)! Never thought of changing it... probably won't....

5. Knowing what you know now, was starting a blog a good thing for you? Why or why not? most definitely, it was a good thing... I've been told it makes lots of folks smile....

6. How do you think blogging, bloggers, or the blogosphere has changed since you started? Since I'm relatively new, I've not noticed any major changes yet....

8. Ultimately, what would you like your blog to accomplish for you or others? All I want is to know that my blogs bring a little hope and sunshine to someone's life... just to let the Good Lord's light shine on through me....

9. Name something or a few things that bug you and expound. We want your unfettered opinion(s). Shouldn’t be blog related.
Totally unrelated to my blogs.... GAS PRICES spiking the moment hurricane IKE entered the gulf.... excuse me... I just needed to get to work, and on time.... almost didn't, all because some news anchor mentioned the words, "if you stay on Galveston Island" and "certain death" in the same sentence..... The very next report was about gas price gouging...... UGGGHH!

10. Tell us about one of your best childhood memories. I have too many to mention... but, the funniest memory I have is going fishing on the banks of the Tennessee River with my dad as a very young girl, with a rope tied around my waist securing me to a large oak tree and an empty milk jug secured at the small of my back..... guess I would have been easy to spot if I fell in the river (LOL)!

11. Describe your perfect day. Reading a book on the beach with my family at my side.

12. Do you have a hobby that you love? Embroidery, blogging, and scrapbooking...

13. Tell us the best and the worst thing about being you. The best thing is that I can usually get many amazing things accomplished... the worst thing is that I rarely get sleep until they are all completed... yikes!

14. What’s the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you? We want all the details. Well.... when I was younger.. I was much more opinionated..... and there was a certain education director at a local hospital that was opinionated also..... While in nursing school, I was a unit secretary and needed to check out some educational videos for the nursing staff on my floor at the direction of our nurse manager. This certain education director wouldn't allow me to check out the videos because I didn't have a license. SO..... I went straight back up to our unit and shared via the communication book exactly what happened, and exactly what I thought about what happened, including what I thought about this certain education director.... The next day, our program director called me in his office and asked me to type up a memo. As he's dictating this memo, I'm getting sicker and sicker... this memo is to the education director, explaining to her that we'd love to have her come up to our unit and get to know our staff better, and while she was here, we'd love her to interview staff, review the communication book, etc.... Just as I finish the memo I'm about to 'fess up and I turn to look at our program director (who is straining to keep a straight face) and the crowd of people he has quietly ushered in behind him.... all to watch me squirm!
