I have been "tagged" by The Career Encouragement Blog - apparently there are other Buckeye fans out there - who knew after January 7th (you can still count me as one!)

The rules:

- Link to the person who tagged you.
- Post the rules on your blog.
- Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
- Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs.
- Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

So here are my 6 non-important things:

1. My first job out of college was estimating manufacturing costs on the B1 Bomber and the Space Shuttle.
2. I spelled my daughter's name wrong on her birth certificate.
3. In the 6th grade, in order to feel more grown up I asked for (and received) a brief case to carry my books at school (now that's a nerd!)
4. Dividing my age by the number of places I've lived (some cities I went back and forth a couple of  times) I only average 3.5 years per location.
5. I like science fiction (another nerd strike.)
6. I like the Shreck movies (1&3 the most)

For my tag strategy - I'm going international! 

Below are three bloggers who have been extremely kind to me during my first year of blogging.

Enrique Burgos (Spain) - one of the very first people who linked to one of my posts and was the first person to wish me a happy birthday this year.  Thanks Enrique.  His blog is in Spanish so be prepared (go to babelfish.com for help.)  He recently published a book on relationship marketing and seems to be everywhere on the social network!

Julius Solaris (Italy) - from the Event Manager Blog - he an I collaborated on a post focused on "unconferences" and it was a great experience.  I am very interested in his goal of creating an open source event management technology solution. 

Angela Dillon who runs Motiv8 - an Australian incentive solutions company.  We've never corresponded directly but we've shared some links in the blogosphere and I'm interested in what she may say.  Their blog is here.

Can't wait to hear what others have to say!
