Tagged, I'm It!

I've been tagged by Kansas Rose of Prairie Farmeress. So here goes! (This is a tough one.)

RULES:

• List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. (Easy enough!)
• Answer the Meme.
  
• Tag 5 friends and list them.
• Then these people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, state the rules, and tag 5 more people.
• Don't forget to let the people you tag know by commenting on their blog!
  

Questions:

1. Which famous person would you most like to learn that you're descended from?

George Washington. For some reason, I feel a special bond with the man. Not only was I born in his old stomping ground (Olde Towne Alexandria), but I feel at peace whenever I visit Mt. Vernon. Yes, I can see myself keeping an eye on the old family residence (hehe).

2. Which famous person would you hate to learn you're descended from?

Hitler. Ew. Doesn't even warrant a photo.

3. If you could be an ancestor to any famous living person who would it be and why?
Paul McCartney. Hey, if I can't marry the guy, I may as well be related so I can still be close to him! (And I would love to have known Linda personally.)

(Ok, I admit I misinterpreted the question -- "ANCESTOR, a person, typically one more remote than a grandparent, from whom one is descended" but I still like my answer, hehe.)

Now to answer it CORRECTLY:
Mahatma Ghandi, the goodness had to originate somewhere, right?

OK OK , LIGHT'S ON, NO ONE HOME!! LIVING -- as in NOW ALIVE! hehe. I never thought this would be so hard!! LOL! Let me think for a moment longer please.


Alright, I think I have it this time 'round. I would like to be an ANCESTOR to Paloma Picasso. I would hope to instill in my relatives the love of FAMILY and how to treat women with respect. hehe. There, how's that?

4. If you could go back in time and meet any known ancestors of yours, who would it be and why?

My grandmother Jimmie (my mom's mother). She was from the Iroquois tribe; and I would LOVE to learn of my family heritage there! Unfortunately she died when my mom was born and there is only one photo of her (which I can't seem to find, right now).

5. Five weird Things about Me:

1. I sneeze when I pluck my eyebrows.
2. I can't sleep unless I have three pillows. I sleep as follows: One king sized for my head, one king size as my "shield" between me and the hub (can't stand to have anything near my back since I've had three epidurals) and one standard to hug (have always hugged a pillow since my grandma made me a little travel pillow when I was little). If I stay at a hotel, I have to call room service for extra pillows.

3. More than occasionally, street lamps go out when I drive by them at which time I say "Light's Out."

4. I get really bad headaches when a storm is approaching.


5. I can barely stand wearing anything other than jeans. I feel totally out of sorts when I do. (Yes, I found some, finally!)

Now it's Tammy's (when she feels up to it), Robyn's, Shelley's, Sue's, and Beth's turn. Tag, you're it!!
