Playing Tag

I have lots of friends who love to blog. My friend Christy tagged me in a blog game, so now I have to post 8 random things about myself.

The Rules:**I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.**Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.**People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.**Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here goes:
1. I have some double jointed toes. I can move some toes completely independent from others. Creepy, I know, but it sure is useful when trying to multitask.

2. I hate drinking out of plastic cups. Well, disposable plastic cups are okay. Regular plastic cups sometimes peel and I can literally taste the plastic flavor in my drink. Yuck!

3. I really like cooking. I frequently browse Recipezaar.com and am addicted to watching the Food Network (usually during the kids nap time). JG already knows who Rachel Ray and Emeril are and sometimes right before Jesse gets home from work we watch a little cookin' together. He really seems to like it, and who doesn't love a man that can cook!!

4. I also love to read. As a kid, my mom would have to hide my books from me sometimes, otherwise I'd read the WHOLE day away. And sometimes, when I didn't want her to take my books, I'd lock myself in the bathroom with one!! I've probably read every fiction book in my home at least 4 times. I think it might be time for some new ones. Anyone read anything good lately?

5. Here's a list of things I wanted to be when I grew up: art teacher, librarian, writer of children's books, florist, mom, wife, and missionary. I've done 4 out of the 7! That's not too bad.

6. Jesse makes fun of me because I put everything in freezer. Chips, cookies, candy, grated cheese, and many more. If you want to know if something freezes well, you can ask me because I've probably tried it. I think it keeps things from getting old so quickly and I kind of like cold chips. Thanks Mom, I learned that one from you!!

7. Least favorite things to do (besides cleaning house): check my cell phone messages (usually because I don't listen to them very often, and when I finally do, there are something like 30 messages, and they are all out of date) and go to the doctor (that sometimes leads to mild anxiety attacks and spiking blood pressure).

8. Things I'd like to try my hand at in the next year: refinishing furniture, painting (canvases), photography, and running (I'm thinking of training to run a marathon... is that crazy or what!! I guess I'd need to buy a jogging stroller for that one. I use to run 6 miles a day or more in college but that is nothing compared to a marathon).

People I tag: Carrie, Sandi, Maren, Kim, and Kaela.

Nice one. I actually love those little tagging games cause you always learn new things about people. I too abhor checking my cell phone messages. I usually wait until it's too late to actually return any of them.

Anyway, I'll do the blog thing tomorrow. :)
