8 Things Meme

I have been tagged by Chicken Spaghetti, Mother Reader and HipWriterMama for the 8 things meme going around. The problem with that meme is that you have to think of 8 new odd things about you and then you have to tag 8 people. That is getting harder to do! So I am taking the liberty of changing the meme.

*Gasp!* Can she do that? Yes she can!

My new meme is called "4 New x 2". You have to share four things that were new to you in the past four years. I mean four things you learned or experienced or explored for the first time in the past four years. New house, new school, new hobby, new spouse, new baby, whatever. Then you have to say four things you want to try new in the next four years.

My four in the past:

1. Blogging. Of course.
2. Getting diagnosed Celiac and giving up all wheat, rye and barley
3. Learning to cook Gluten Free: bread, muffins, pizza, chocolate cake, pancakes, etc.
4. New baby! Punkin is 26 months old now

My four for the future: (what I want to do that's new to me)

1. Study Spanish
2. Get a children's picture book or poetry book published
3. Travel to a Spanish speaking country during my sabbatical
4. Learn to eat on the 100 mile diet, as organic and vegetarian as possible.

Now for tagging: I tag you back Susan and HipWriterMama! Ha Ha! And also Elaine, Chasing Ray, Miss Rumphius, Robin, and Mother Reader. Four x Two all of you!
