I've Been Tagged!

Apparently I have been "tagged" to give 6 bits of useless information about myself - I will try to make them somewhat interesting but I am not that interesting (thanks Darci).

1. I spent a considerable amount of time as a youngster trying to convince Jamie (a childhood best friend born in 1980) that I was older (born in 1981) than she was simply because my birthday is in February and hers is in June. She didn't buy it. I was always upset that I was a year behind in everything from Jamie & Darci.

2. Confession - At the ripe old age of 26, I still sleep with my blankie - it's pink and silky. I have had it since I was 5 or 6 years old. I not only sleep with it, but it travels with me on my business trips & vacations. It has absolutely no stuffing/padding & has holes in it. But, it is the most comforting item I own. My mother made it. When I got married she asked if I would take it on my honeymoon - I did.

3. I love all television shows that show manufacturing of products, especially food! I am mesmerized by the processes it takes! I get totally sucked in to it. I find myself watching Modern Marvels whenever its on. HGTV in its entirety - is a joy to my day. If you get a chance watch Clean House - it will motivate you to get rid of stuff (Nicole will appreciate it).

4. Emron & I have a crazy addiction to Harry Potter. We frequently have contests to see who can name the most spells from the books. It helps us stay awake when we are on road trips. We have also watched the 1st Harry Potter movie a million times - it helps us fall asleep. My ipod has all of the audiobooks on it and that is what I listen to most often.

5. Darci reminded me about my childhood resume. I "owned" several businesses as a child...Nordstroms, Real Estate Bill Estate (now that's a dumb name), a law firm, an airline, school, church & several restaurants. I am looking to retire from my real job in the next week or so. Yeah!!!!

6. Confession #2 - I have an extreme phobia of stickers. It completely grosses me out if people put stickers on themselves! Kids at school would put banana and apple stickers on their skin and just thinking about it now makes me gag! I had a sticker collection as a kid, but that was okay becuase it was on organized and protected paper. I hate finding stickers on furniture or floors, etc. or worse - with hair or gunk stuck to it. I am amazed that I can use a bandaid.
