I've Been Tagged!

I'm so bad! I just accepted a new full time position as a 911 dispatcher (writing is my passion but it doesn't pay the bills) which has been really fun and interesting but mentally exhausting. I'm trying to get myself into the swing of working full time which is why I've been a bit absent lately.

Because of this craziness, I've neglected the blog just a bit and have been tagged TWICE.

Both the lovely Black Disaster Fairy from Literary Day Dreams and Tina from Book Couture.

Rules:

•  Accept the tag and link to the tagger at the beginning of your post.
• Answer the questions honestly in your post by listing four things.
•  Pass on the love by picking four other people to tag and listing them at the bottom of your post. Notify them that you tagged them.

4 things in my purse:

1. My adorable brown and green sunglasses

3. To own and have read 1,000 books (and have a bookshelf for them! My husband is planning on building me one very soon!)
4. Buy a new car (this is a bit selfish but I've had the same car since I was 16 and (while I'm thankful) didn't get to pick it. I want to pick out my own car!)

5 things I wish would come true that probably won't (Tina's added question):

1. Go skydiving
2. Perform in a rock band in front of a live audience (I love to sing)

4 things you don't know about me:

1. I broke my leg when I was in 3rd grade and had to crawl around on it for three days before my firefighter father decided I might not be exaggerating.
2. I try to read all my books in order of when I got them
3. I just became a 911 dispatcher and it's one of the most fascinating jobs I've ever had.
4. I sang with my chorus in Carnegie Hall in New York (I'm a soprano).
