My friend,
Katie, tagged me for something called Honest Scrap...after checking out hers (and some others), I figured I would give it a go. Afterall, the girls and I aren't venturing far from the homestead these days for two reasons:
1) It takes about two hours to get bundled up enough to actually go outside.
2) You can only stay outside for as long as it takes you to get to the car or you'll freeze to death, regardless of how much clothing you have on your body:
Yes, that was the ACTUAL temperature on my car thermometer this afternoon at 1:30 PM. It warmed up to a balmy -5 while we were inside the mall. If you couldn't tell, Addy was really peeved that we were going outside today. It's been so cold that school has been canceled the last two days.
Anyway, onto Honest Scrap...basically, you list
10 random things about you that are true and then tag
seven other people to do the same.
Fun times. So, here we go:
1) I rarely sit down when I eat. I don't know why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that I am always up getting other people's food so I just eat along the way and by the time I sit down I have like 2 bites left.
2) I can not deal with any injury that involves the mouth. When I was in first grade, I fell on a sidewalk and basically busted out my two front teeth. They hung there for a week or so before falling out, but it was horrible and I still cringe when I think about it. Therefore, all mouth injuries go straight to Dave (and there have been more than I care for with our two little ones).
3) I canNOT physically perform any sport that requires something being strapped to my feet; e.g. skiing, snowboarding, ice-skating, skateboarding, rollerblading, etc...It was hell going to rollerskating parties as a kid.
4) I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Part of the problem is that I feel like I would be good at lots of stuff, so I just end up doing nothing. Not exactly fulfilling long-term, but it's working for me at the moment.
5) I am addicted to the internet. I mean, duh...I met my husband on the internet so I feel a sort of connection to it and I would feel lost without it. I am also a blog stalker, so beware.
6) I keep a rolling tally in my head of the calories I consume on a daily basis. I can also rattle off the number of calories in almost every fast food meal. I'm not exactly one of those women who is naturally thin, so I have to work at staying fit...knowing stuff like that helps.
7) I am a pretty good speller, but I did lose two spelling bees in elementary. Misspelled fiery (firey) and extraordinary (left out the a). I was really upset with myself.
8) I have no idea why people can't correctly use common homophones, such as
to, too, two or
there, their, they're...I mean, C'MON!!!
9) I have my dad's feet. And they look better on a man.
10) I have a kickass memory. Simple as that.
So, I am now tagging the following people, in no particular order. If you haven't checked out their blogs, I suggest you do sometime. I am also including 8 because I like to change rules:

2. Stock up on fruit snacks or other potty treats your kid enjoys (and give them a treat EVERY SINGLE TIME they go, even if it means they're on a sugar high for a few days)
