Thanks to my good blogging friend Best With Sons the Seven Sevens Tag came around again. To be honest, I like those tags in a way, because 1. you learn more things about your blogging buddies, 2. gives me a topic to blog – ha (how do you like that for a positive spin on memes). So here it goes:

Well, here comes the part where I would need to list 7 other people to join me in the meme. I am not good at this tagging thing, so for right now, my blogging buddies are safe (just for a short while though – I do have another blog – lol). But, if you read this and like the meme, please feel free to join us and leave me a comment that you have posted yours.

Jeff from Becoming Our Destiny has tagged me with this alarm clock meme:

1.Do you use an alarm clock to wake up in the morning? – Does the TV count? If Yes, I do…

2. What time do you set it for? – Monday – Friday: About 4:45 AM; Sunday About 6:00 AM for church (well, like the early 7:30 AM service)

3. Do you hit the snooze button? If so how many times? – Usually I turn it off and have to suffer the consequences – leaving the house late for work…

4. Have you ever abused an alarm clock? – Nope – to heavy for that; but thought about throwing the remote control at it…

5. It’s “time” to spread some “It’s Blogcess” linky love.
