I have been tagged...

First of all, anyone who knows me, knows that I usually do not do stuff like this. However, since both of my boys are taking naps (small miracle) I have decided that I have the time to do it.

Here are the rules: A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. I love to run. I really don't know why I love it so much, but I think everyone who knows me would say it is some sort of addiction that I have. If I do not run, everyone runs away from me. I am completely dependent on the endorphins and it is these endorphins that give me the rush to get through each day with my kids.

2. Organization was ingrained in me as a child. My dad is extremely organized and I am assuming this is where I learned the value of organization. I love to open drawers and closets and have them free from clutter. I have been known to throw things away (even useful things) if they contribute in any way to cluttering my organization.

3. Thursday. My favorite day of the week is Thursday. This is the day I clean my house. Again, another obsessive compulsive trait that I have is maintaining a clean home. I should say Thursday night is my favorite, because that is when the cleaning is complete and my home is free from any dirt that has been brought in from the "new trails" in the backyard that Hank made for the boys.

4. Biting my fingernails is something I have done for years. It is a habit that I have tried to break numerous times. Unfortunately, I have had no success. If anyone is reading this and has broken this awful habit...please let me know how you did it.

5. Going to the movies is something that I have not had the opportunity to do more than once a year since my children were born. However, I would like to change that soon. I love getting red licorice and popcorn and watching a highly anticipated movie in the theater (without kids).

6. Being with my family at home. There is no place I would rather be than at home with my boys (Hank included!). Even in my childhood, I was always a home-body. Now that I have created a home for my individual family...this is the place I prefer over anything else.

That is it...Now I would like to tag Sara, Jocelyn, Whitney, Angie, Liz M, and Jessica B. Please do not feel pressured to do it...especially if you do not have the time!!

Jessica,
I can't believe you still bite your nails. You've done that since I met you at age 2. We would call you on it every time you'd put your fingers in your mouth. Poor Jessica. Maybe you could put acrylic nails on, then you would love how your fingernails looked and then you couldn't bite them. That's my advice. Jessica, you haven't changed a bit and I love it. I am always getting in trouble because I throw away things(of importance) because they weren't put in their right place and were in the way of my organization as well. Your dad taught me well as well. We can blame it on him when people get angry with us. Okay, so don't complain that I don't leave comments Jess. Love ya, Krissy

Loved it! I have to admit, I already knew most of it, but it was still fun to read about and be reminded of my friend I don't get to see anymore ;)!!

I just want to add that she will throw away YOUR stuff too if it comes to it...like when you are out to eat with her and you aren't done with your lunch...you better hurry because the clutter can only stay on the table for a short while!!! Love ya Jess

Jessica, and well HI KRISSY!

It's funny, we haven't seen each other in years, but I remember from when you were very young (as was I) that you bit your finger nails. That is a really odd thing for me to remember, now isn't it?

I check your blog once in awhile, it's fun to hear about your life. (Thanks to Krissy for pointing me in your direction).

Thanks a lot!!! Ha, ha. Sorry, I haven't completed the assignment yet. I am still trying to think of ONE interesting thing write down! Ha! I am with you on the biting nails though...I've done it forever and I did have acrylic nails for years, but as soon as I stopped getting them...the habit was still there! Its a terrible habit!!:(
Miss you!

Your home is so beautiful, I'm so jealous of all the exploring space your boys have. And I'd love to see pictures of where you've been running, I'm sure it beats Seville Blvd and Chandler Heights.
