My sister-in law Erin “tagged” me on her blog which apparently means I need to come up with 7 interesting things about myself. What a whole post about me? I don’t know if I can say 7 things without mentioning my kids. Okay let’s see how this goes.
1. I love to eat. It’s true I never met a baked good I didn’t like. I especially like eating out (McDonalds does not count) but we don’t do it all that often. Doesn’t really matter what kind of food it is as long as it tastes good and I’m not the one making or cleaning it up.
2. The gym is one of my favorite places to go, which is a good thing because food was just my #1. Sometimes it’s for training purposes or to maintain my weight but mostly I love the way I feel after a good workout. I also like that it’s something I’m doing just for me!
3. I’m addicted to playing Beautiful Katamari on our XBOX 360 (besides Tetris it’s the only game I’ll play). The whole point of the game is that you are a ball and you roll around town/ world rolling things up to make your Katamari ball bigger. It’s surprisingly satisfying!
4. My 2nd toe is longer than my big toe. I’ve heard it’s a sign of intelligence.
5. I am the most musically challenged person you will ever meet. Nick can even attest I border on being tone deaf. In college I had to take a music class for my Education degree. Long story short the professor offered some “after class help” upon reviewing my assignment where I had to sing “America the Beautiful” on tape. Humiliation! Every patriotic holiday I am reminded of that experience. It’s not just singing, I faked my song flute recital in the 3rd grade. Sorry Mom and Dad but I was just moving my fingers trying to look like I knew what I was doing. Piano lessons weren’t much better either. But ability aside I really enjoy and can appreciate good music.
6. The Office is my favorite show. Nick and I recently rented seasons one and two and watched them all in one weekend. It was the best weekend ever (“that’s what she said”).
7. I am not an animal person. I had a horse biting experience when I was 13 at Girls Camp. The raccoons tormented me and stole our food when I was a camp counselor in Santa Cruz. I hit a dog on our way to the courthouse to get a marriage license (while I cried in the car Nick carried it home for the elderly lady). Right now we have fish in an aquarium and that’s good enough for me!
Look I did it! 7 things about me with no mention of kids! Okay now it’s my turn to tag. So I’m sending the love out of state to the Gunn Family in Utah.
