Here's the thing....
My niece Clare knows I love a quiz, questionnaire, or opportunity to blab on and on about myself, good or bad! So, she 'tagged' me with the task of telling 6 interesting things about myself, so here goes, although I'm not sure how interesting they are!
1) A normal thing: I hate sad movies. I refuse to watch a movie that has a sad ending, and will make me cry. Sometimes these movies sneak up on me, like "Steel Magnolias" which was touted as a comedy, but really wasn't. If I know beforehand that they're sad, I avoid them like the plague.
2) A reminiscent thing: When I was a kid I loved it when we went to the gas station because I secretly enjoyed the smell of gasoline. Mmmmm, petrol! Maybe that explains the loss of brain cells?!
3) A silly thing: I am the only person I know who can fold their tongue in half like a taco, and flip it over from side to side. Most people can do one, but not the other. I know, it's amazing! Don't hate me because I'm talented. I'd post pictures, but um....No!
4) A crazy thing: I have an unnatural obsession with acquiring bits of knowledge on every subject that I come across. I've even dubbed myself "the queen of useless trivia" because I always tend to know weird facts that most people could care less about. I have always admired people who speak with intelligence on any and every subject and I really want to be counted among their ranks.
5) A serious thing: Every night I pray with the girls, and many nights I audibly give praise to God for qualities like their beautiful spirits, sweet personalities, and the blessing I receive by being their mom and it ALWAYS makes my eyes sting with tears; everytime, without fail!
6) A sweet thing: I love it when Cory, the girls and I play dog pile on the living room floor. It usually results in me yelling that I can't breathe, or need to go to the bathroom....any ploy I can use to break free. I just seriously enjoy family time that gets us all together and lets us act silly.
So, for those of you with a blog, 'tag' you're it, tell me about yourselves, and for those who don't blog, I'd love an e-mail filling me in all the details.

I am going to post my 6 things after I say good bye to Steve this week. I am hoping it will be a diversion. I was also hoping to read everyone else's list so mine wouldn't seem so boring:)
I appreciated the comment on my las blog by you. I have already planned a couple things for the next few months. For example Clare comes! Then we head to WA to visit all of you. We come home and then we are off to visit Steve's family for Christmas. January Brings my Bday and Gideyon's. So yeah we have some bright spots over the next few months and then it may start to drag. SO if you have any fun ideas for activities with the my kids send them my way:) Thanks!
I absolutely abhor a sad movie, too. Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, Steel Magnolias-never seen 'em, never plan to! Life is full of sad things we can't control, I want my fiction happy and sappy!
What fun! I love to learn interesting facts about people. Things such as, did you know I can like my elbow? Try it and see if you can do it.
I too hate sad movies! I can't stand a sad book, sad song, sad story! I hate sad things I have my own sad life I don't need one more thing to cry over! But that was really fun I'll have to do it!
