1. Stubbing my toe, (or anything else that involves hurting myself by own clumsiness) makes me extremely ANGRY! Lance thinks it's absolutely hilarious to see me try to restrain myself after one of these incidents, from screaming, yelling, or trying to inflict pain BACK on the inanimate object that started the whole thing! Come to think of it I hurt myself a lot lately! I think in the last 6 months I have walked into a store window in the middle of the mall once (really embarrassing) and into my own bedroom door twice (it was the middle of the night)
2. I'm obsessed with Pottery Barn. Well maybe obsessed isn't the appropriate word but I really really love it! If I could have my whole house look just like a pottery barn catalog I would. This goes right along with the fact that I am a total copy cat! I can attribute any good idea I've ever had, any great recipes someone has asked me for, or anything else that goes in the category of me and cool, to someone else! I always say I'm not a very creative person with very creative ideas, but I am REALLY good at finding the people who DO have them. My favorite person to copy...My big sister Jen! She is always coming up with great ideas and passing them along to me. OK so back to Potter Barn, along with decorating ideas, I've also gotten both of my children's' names while looking through the Pottery Barn kids catalog. (How sentimental is that!)
3. I'm scared of the dark. I always have been since I was a little girl and while I'm getting a little better (Like I don't HAVE to turn on a light when I walk to one of the kids' bedrooms in the middle of the night, or have ALL of the lights in the entire house on when Lance is gone) its definitely still an issue. And maybe it just goes along with my other top fear: being kidnapped. And No that's not a fear of my Children being kidnapped, it's a fear of MYSELF being kidnapped. I have this fear that when its dark, someone could come out of nowhere and take me and I'd be powerless to do anything about it. So when you put the two fears together like in the morning at 5:30 am when I'm getting out of my car to go into the gym (that I go to at insane hours because there is no way in a million years I would run through my neighborhood in the dark) it involves something like me getting out of my car and, (if no one else is watching) literally running to the door which really can't be more than 200 feet away. Bet you didn't know THAT about me.
4. Okay that leads me to number 4: Lance and I just signed up for and plan to run/walk the Indy Mini Marathon in May. We are NOT runners and have never done anything like this so its a big deal for us. This explains the getting up at 5:30 am to go running at the gym. I have managed to get up and go at least twice a week and can now run 2 miles straight. Now if I can just do that about 6 times in row I'll have it down!
5. I have become an avid scrapbooker. I've contemplated switching to digital scrapbooking (as I see how baby number two has put me further and further behind) but still get the most satisfaction out of creating a whole page by hand. I LOVE pictures and it makes me feel good to know I'm doing something with all the pictures I take and keeping track of our life.
6. I LOVE reading and always have, but have just recently started doing more of it again. I love any love stories, but I also really like self improvement books from marriage, to parenting, to cleaning and organization, to nutrition, you name it, if it can improve my life in any way shape or form I'll read it. I love good book recommendations.
7. Okay so I'm running of things....let's see.... I haven't taken a plan trip or even taken a car trip over 5 hours in over a year and half. That's a long time for me! Which also means I haven't seen anyone in my family (except for my Dad) in over a year...also a long time for me. I'm thinking about this because I am so excited to see my youngest sister Jill in November and my Mom in December! YEAH!
Well there you go. There's my boring but random self!
Oh and I tag, Jen, Tiff, Lindsay, Becca, Mandi and Amy How many am I supposed to tag?!
