I got tagged!

There’s this thing in the blogosphere where bloggers will “tag” other bloggers in a blog post. It’s often times in the form of a questionnaire that they’ve filled out and posted, and then they tag other bloggers to post their answers to that same questionnaire on their blogs. So, Mrs. Holee tagged me, and here I go:
