Tagged!

Well darn it all...I thought I was going to get away from not being tagged, but good ole Dev just had to do it!! Ok, I basically suck at these things..go figure!

6 crazy things about me:

1. I read fictional books. It doesn't matter what it is about, I am obsessed with reading (have you seen the list?) I read British-humor, Murder Mystery, Suspensful novels, Harry Potter, etc. i love reading. But on the other hand, I have a hard time with non-fiction and historical fiction and that is why I am turning over a new leaf. I noticed after going out with some great friends this weekend that I don't really read very "smart" books or great authors. They were all talking about Bronte, Dickins, Dickinson, Austen (I HAVE read Pride & Prejudice this last year and LOVED IT!) and a bunch of other classic authors. I just don't have it in me to read these types of books, but for every 2 novels/action/murder/mystery, I'll read one great novel.

2. I LOVE SLEEPING!! I have always been a sleeper: In high school I took a nap every single day and sometimes I would sleep until it was time to go to bed and then wake up have my sister get my toothbrush and a cup (yes, so I could spit the toothpaste into..YUCK, I KNOW!!) and go back to bed. I would wake up the next day and go to seminary, school, work and nap. My mom was beside herself and thought I was lazy, my dad thought I was dying or had mono or something...but it was a very stressful year (especially Junior year) Anyway, I have mostly gotten better over the years but the last 2 months I have gone back to being tired and well a little lazy even. I have been on some new medicine and it has been a really big pain. I guess I am just going to have to tell my doctor that this is not working out and try something else.

3. I LOVE FALL! I mean, I really love fall time. (Spring is a close 2nd) To me fall is about going back to school, cooler dryer weather, FOOTBALL GAMES (GO BEARS, BRONCOS, and Colts :) leaves turning and changing, the awesome smell of cooler air, sweaters and EVERYTHING! It is such a great time of year.

4. Crafts and similar other things: I really enjoy doing crafts including blankets, bedding, cross-stitch, painting things for the kids room, glass blocks, wreaths, anything. Only problem: I'm not really Martha Stewart! I mean, I am pretty good at things, if I can see the finished product OR someone is there to specifically help guide me. (Ie. Devony and Iris with Livi's bedding, Iris/Laurie/Jenn with the wreath, wall hanging: Marin and Kim) Ok, it's just not something that is my forte, BUT I am working on it...That's what matters, right? (BTW, the bedding took me almost 2 years to complete!!!!!! Luke about KILLED me, but for my defense I had a Brand new baby!

5. I have something known as impulse buying (on very small things) and then buyer's remorse on everything. it doesn't matter what it is (candy bar, clothes, cars, etc) I have a hard time after buying it. I just think after that the money could've been better, well, saved. Oh well, when we are millionaires it should get better, right? :)

6. This next and final one goes back to #2 in a round about way. I love spending time with the family and going out with them to shop, eat out, etc. but I have a very hard time getting off the couch to go on a walk or to do something physical. I don't know what is wrong with me lately. I think that when we get a home with a backyard it will get better, but who knows...anyone have any suggestions on how to actually WANT to do things outdoors? Luke says we just need to spend more time and then the love for the outdoors with grown on us. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy camping, fishing, taking pictures outdoors, I just don't always ENJOY it. So let the suggestions start!

All finished: I would like to tag Becca, Ashleigh, Sarah E., Shannon, Michelle, Stevie Kay, and Kiera..good luck!
