Tagged!!!

OK, So, I got tagged by my best friend (and sister) Cami, back at the first of June. (I told you Cami, it would take me a bit but that I would get it done) Oh and those of you reading this... consider yourselves officially tagged! Ha Ha Ha

Favorite Person (outside of family)? John Clark... My John John... My Sug... Yeah we have been friends for so long, about eight years. I don't get to see him very much, we are both always so busy with our lives. But when we do, it always makes me so happy. We have such a good time together. Hey man, give me a call!!!

Favorite Food? SUSHI... oh yummmmm. My mom and sis are the only ones brave enough to eat it with me.

Quirks about you? Oh there are so many... I am very OCD on many things, but here are a few. I have to have all of the laundry folded a certain way. if it gets folded wrong, I have to go back and do it "right" ( I try to never correct it in front of the person, whose name(s) will remain anonymous, that folded it wrong). It also has to lay completely flat, no bumps or wrinkles. When I put the groceries away, I have to be able to see the labels (like in the store). When I walk down a sidewalk, I have to walk around the manhole covers or grates (fear of falling in I guess). Oh, I could go on and on. there are way worst ones, but I don't want you to think that I am completely nuts, if you don't already.

How would the person who loves you most describe you in ten words or less? "You are exactly my brand of heroin" LOL, can any of you tell what book I just read? Well, at least those of you who have read it will understand what I am saying. It is my favorite book(s) by the way.

Any regrets in life? Tons! But, I would not change the decisions or mistakes that I have made... they are what have made me into the person that I am today.

Favorite Charity/Cause? Schooling for our children ( I don't think there is anything not to gain by teaching children.)

Favorite Blog recently? All of them, I am still new to this. But I love to read my sisters because she is so far away. At least I can get a glimpse into her life and see how they are and what they are doing.

Something you can't get enough of? "The look" from my hubby when I am unbelievably unattractive in my mind, but not in his. The feeling I get when I accomplish something that I really wasn't sure I could do. When my kids just come and sit by me on the couch to snuggle and tell me they love me.

Worst Job you've ever had? Being a housekeeper at Hampton Inn. I hated cleaning those rooms! People can be really disgusting... I will not be discussing the horror stories but here is a good tip... take the comforter off of the bed and set it in the corner before you sit anything (including yourself) on it. Whenever I stay anywhere now I do that first. I also try to make it as easy as possible for them when they have to clean my room. I put the dirty towels in a nice pile on the floor in the bathroom and throw my used soap in the trash, oh and make sure the TV remote is on the nightstand... Those little suckers can be hard to find.

What job would you pay not to have? Plumber... obviously they have to deal with sewage but they also have to go into crawl spaces and deal with whatever is lurking in there... Neither is at all appealing to me.

If you could be a fly on the wall, where would it be? I love Cami's idea about the designers of clothing... I would also like to me on my son's shoulder to see how my boys act when their mom isn't around. Plus it would be fun to see things through their eyes again.

Favorite Bible verse right now? Psalms 18:32 "It is God that girdith me with strength, and maketh my way perfect." Well not sure if this is my favorite but I do like it. I am not as well acquainted with the scriptures as I know I should be.

Guilty Pleasure? Pedicures. Man, I love those things. I need a new one, girls day anyone? I also like to eat my treats (ice cream, chocolate, etc...) after the kids go to bed. This way I can take my time and enjoy them without being asked to share... I don't share well.

Got any confessions? Sometimes I pick my nose. Don't lie, you do it too.

If you had $1000 to spend on yourself how would you spend it? Well, if I am forced to spend it on just myself... I might get a new wardrobe with all matching shoes and purses or take a day trip to the spa or spend it on fixing up my shop.

Favorite thing about your house? I love that it has tons of storage. I have a lot of crap to stash away.

Least favorite thing about your house? It only has one tiny bathroom... and there are 3 boys that I have to share it with... I hate trying to take a nice bubble bath and they are knocking on the door so they can come use the toilet.

One thing you are bad at? I have to pick just one?... But I am bad at a lot of things... OK. I have no musical talent at all. My mom even put me in singing groups, tap and ballet, even piano lessons to try to bring out the natural gift that everyone in my family but myself seem to possess, but to no avail.

One thing you are good at? I am a very visual person and love to pick up a paint brush or a pencil just to sketch something. I have always been good at arts and crafts. My new found talent is jewelry making. I love being able to make things for other people. One of my goals in life is to create a piece of artwork that someone would actually pay money for (other then my family).

If you could change one thing about your circumstances, what would it be? Hummm... I would like to be more successful... I have heard that success is measured by how many toilets you have... I currently only have two... a porcelain one that I have worshiped often and a plastic potty training one that is finally not needing to be used at the moment.

Who would you like to meet someday? Well, someday I would hope to meet God and Jesus... That would mean that I had lived my life right, made all the correct choices, served my fellow man... Etc. OK... some of these questions are to deep, or maybe it is just my answers.

What makes you feel sexy? I found that great lip plumping lip gloss... I know funny huh? It makes my lips tingle, but strange as it sounds I feel sexier when I wear it. I also love it when my hubby compliments me on how great I look... honestly any guy for that matter, but especially him.

Who is your real life hero? Well, he has passed away but my Grandpa, Wayne! Bumpy as I affectionately called him as a child was the best, most humble, caring, hardworking, helpful, loving person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was always there for me. When I came home from school, I would go out to his shop and talk with him and just spend time with him as he worked. I never remember being apart from him growing up. I love him very much!

What is the hardest part of your job? My job is relatively easy... any moron could do it. So what does that say about me?

When are you most relaxed? When I am painting or drawing. I love it! Also, I love to lay on a blanket to watch the clouds float by and pick out objects in them or watch the stars twinkle at night.

What stresses you out? I am a perfectionist, so I get really stressed out when I can't do things the way I think it should be done or it doesn't look like I think it should look. Again, my OCD coming out.

What can you not live without? This is going to be obvious but ... My hubby, my kids, family in general, friends, food, water, shelter.

Do you agree or disagree with the recent article that reported that blogs are authored by narcissists? No, most people I know with blogs hardly have any pictures of themselves on them... Take mine for example. I think now a days we use them more as a way to keep in touch and show off how cute our kids are.

Why do you blog? Weren't you paying attention?... To show everyone how cute my kids are! That and I am just following the crowd... going with the flow.

Who are you tagging? Pretty much everyone who reads this should consider themselves tagged.
