about me

ok so I was supposedly tagged by Marne- cyber tagged- didn't know there was such a thing...but I guess I'm it. I was tagged to share some little known facts about me...it was fun in the making.

1. ok I love to throw things away...it is weird but just cleaning out the fridge or a closet and just chucking things out left and right can give me the biggest adrenalin rush- I love to dejunk even though I am still messy- someday...someday

2. I hate large spaces. I do not really like the ocean. It is too big for me. It is pretty and all but just so massive that I almost feel uncomfortable instead of relaxed like most when on the beach. I used to have nightmares that I was in a huge wheat field where all I could see was wheat for miles- as far as the eyes could see in every direction- with no mountains, no cars, no streets- oh that just overwhelms me. I like borders, limits, edges, boundaries, mountain ranges.

3. I like to read the tabloids. I just get fascinated with famous people and their gossip- isn't that retarded? although I have never bought a people magazine or what have you- but I will admit I like to read them while waiting in line at the grocery store. I guess I get interested in lifestyles completely different than my own...

4. I love to eat...but I am not a junk food junky for the most part although lately I have been- that is a different story- but I just absolutely love to eat healthy- it is not hard for me to eat like we should- it is just expensive and time consuming but I get so dang excited when I have peas, brown rice, chicken, almonds, fish, tons of vegetables, garlic and onions all lathered on top of a pile of romaine lettuce. It is like my body says a big thank you because I feel good and it tastes soooo good to me.

5. I crave functionality. I love house plans- I love to look at them and see if they are practical and functional. When my companion sprained her ankle on my mission we had to sit in our house for 2 weeks. I designed the perfect house plan. It was so fun. I should have been an architech- I don't think I could pass the math. I feel so out of whack if I don't have function- that is probably why I am so out of whack- I can't seem to get things down to a system- but I crave it nonetheless-I hate clutter-unless it's books. Chay thinks it is weird how I put away the toaster everyday. I don't like any kitchen appliance on my counter tops.

5. Pet Peeves: Pen marks on skin- so if you have a pen and not paper do not write a phone number on your hand when I am around. I cringe. I hate it. I hate touching retail store dressing room tags- especially at Ross- they are slimy and so used yuck-I hate being home alone but I like being alone at home- As long as Chay is somewhere in the house. But I like my space- I hate going barefoot- or shoeless. I can't stand it when little particles of somethings stick to my feet. I don't like it when I am talking to someone and there is someone in the room with a louder voice than me- I can't concentrate. Iceberg lettuce in salads, loose hairs on the shower wall or floor of bathroom- oh sick, being late, kids crying, Kenzie waking up early from nap...

6. I like Trivia, facts, the news, history, taking tests (not math), crosswords- I'm horrible, peach crisp (with oats)...and owen wilson- know one can make me laugh more. ok there you go

Joette- I triple dog tag you...

Fun to read April! I'll remember not to write on my hand around you.. he he. I don't do that but I see YW in my ward do that all the time. It is like it is cool to do when in school
