Meme: Eight Things About Me
My morning started with an email from Elaine at Wild Rose Reader. I have been tagged for the “8 Things About Me” meme.
Here are the rules: Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
Here are 8 facts about me.
1. I have written five plays for our after school drama club. I set them up as a story within a story to retell classic folktales. This way this disrict can film and show on educational television without copyright issues.
2. I am completing my thirty-third year of teaching, eighteen as a school librarian. I love my job. The job is constantly changing which makes it interesting.
3. I go by “Ms Mac” at school but my last name is MacCulloch. It is a tradition carried from my grandmother who was “Mrs. Mac”, my father who was “Mr. Mac”. Both were also teachers.
4. My middle name is “Rush”. Benjamin Rush, signer of the Delcaration of Independence, is my fifth great grandfather.
5. I love all the seasons equally. Each is so unique and I like that. Tonight my husband and I prepared the garden forplanting.
6. I grew up in southern California. I left there to attend college in Portland, Oregon and stayed. I am still close with my college friends. We meet every summer.
7. I have an affinity for the east coast. I think it is because I spent six months when I was four years old with my grandmothers in New Jersey. The family story is that I begged my parents to let me go with my grandmother and they said yes!
8. I am going to AASL in the fall in Reno, Nevada. It is my first national library conference. I can’t wait.
I tag the following people to play:
Eisha and Jules at 7 Imp
Kathy at Library Stew
Els Kushner at Book, book, book
Katie at Pixiepalace
Akelda the Gleeful at Saints and Spinners
Jennie at Biblio File
Christine at The Simple and Ordinary
Barbara at Cats and Jammers
I look forward to reading your blogs.
Happy Reading.

I just finished the meme. I enjoyed reading your 8 things. Hmmm… you’re MacCulloch, and I have McCullough in the family. Maybe we’re distantly, distantly related.:)

Jone,
Thanks so much for responding to the meme. My students used to call me “Mrs. Mag.” I love the Pacific Northwest. I have visited with relatives there twice. I really enjoyed driving down the coastal route from Washington into Oregon. What gorgeous scenery! My hat is off to you for writing plays that the kids can perform.

Hey, Jone. Great list – really? You love all the seasons equally? You don’t even have one that’s a little bit more favorite-er?
We had a family friend we called Mrs. Mac, but it was short for McCutchen. But I always think of her when I read your blog.
Thanks for tagging us! You’re the third one, which is what happens when you’re too slow to respond to the first tag. But we’re responding in a two-part post, starting today.

Hi, Jone! Nice to meet you!
Hey, where in NJ? I was an old Jersey gal myself, for the first 10 years of my life–the FORMATIVE years…
Thanks for tagging me. I answered!

[...] I got tagged by Ms Mac of Check it Out for a meme that’s been bouncing around the kidlitosphere the past few days. I’m terrible at thinking of things to say about myself, but I thought I’d give it a try anyway since it’s been a while since I’ve done a meme! [...]

[...] Welcome back! Believe it or not, we got tagged a third time for this meme, by Jone of Check It Out!. That’s what happens when you procrastinate on responding to the first tag. Good thing we’d already planned a sequel. [...]
