I've been tagged....

Well, here we go I have never been tagged before thanks DeAnne, I would like to think people know lots about me so i will try to surprise you....
1. I am a list maker. If something gets put on a list, my goal is to cross it off.. Something about making a list and crossing it off makes me feel pretty darn good about myself. Sometimes I will write and re-write list just so that i get to cross things off ( i never put things I have already done, I only write a new one to leave off the crossed off thing defeating my purpose or crossing off an entire list) I know weird. I make one everyone night before bed, something i learned from the fly lady and in my efforts to be a perfectionist. wish me luck i am far from it!
man this is tough, everything i think of is obvious
2. I talk to my family at least once a day, not just my mom but normally 2-3 sister and at least one brother, if not all my my siblings. I don't know why but either they call me or I call my mom, my sister Carrie and then through out the day call the rest of them, it is probably habit, but i love talking to them. I normally have nothing to say just hi, and then see what they are doing and tell them the monotony of my day (usually babysitting and cleaning, followed by dinner making) but when i don't talk to them it feels like my day is missing something, call me crazy, i love my family (and I usually talk to Shaun about 3 times a day too)
3. I love food! it is my weakness and the reason i am not able to lose my extra pounds... The other day someone said she thought she had an eating disorder because when she eats something, she sees or thinks of something she also wants to eat. totally me! i center things around meals (mainly the dessert part) my sister and I joke because at like 11 am we both think "what should i make for dessert?" and i normally have plenty of stuff on hand to whip up a quick dessert if necessary. Anyone who knows me, or has ever been to my house they are guaranteed dessert of some kind. Just thought i would throw in a list of things i am notorious for eating: Better cheddars, Chips ahoy delux, grasshoppers, muddy buddies, moultons,
4. I love exercises, i know totally opposite of the previous thing, but i do, i love running and swimming, i am not really good at either but i love how good it makes you feel after. the catch 22 is that on top of loving to exercises i am also lazy, if i can actually do the exercises it feels great, the trick is actually getting off my butt and doing it! In high school i was in track (triple jump) and when told to run a mile i would walk really slow until everyone was almost done and then run the last part doing about a lap but pretending to do the whole thing! i don't know what changed? my metabolism after babies is my guess.
5. I used to hate the beach. Growing up in California that sounds like blasphemy but i hated the sand and the salt water, why go to the beach when you could go to a perfect temperature clean pool? i still am no the biggest fan, i love to get tan and lay out, but those days are up now that there are 3 kids to watch while trying to enjoy the beach. i can't even remember the last time i actually got in the water at the beach, let alone stay in it for more than 10 min. Sad i know, Shaun says i am not a true Californian and that i can't claim liking the beach, he's probably right. i have lived in Utah the majority of my life, so sad :(
6. I secretly love scrap booking (haha jk, that was for Wendy!) i hate licorice, of any kind, It makes me vomit! Red vines, twizzlers, the smell gets to me. My sister didn't believe me so she ate it in front of me in her car.. i showed her! threw up all over her car! i have to leave the room and sometimes the house when people eat it, The smell seems to linger with me. I get headaches and just get really nauseous? Over the last few weekends the girls have tried it and they loved it, poor kids, wont ever get to indulge on that food. So dont eat it in front of me!

Man that was tough, i am stretching it with the last one, i am sure people can think of better random facts for me, i am at a loss..

I love that some things are still the same about you! Namely your love for better cheddars and chips ahoy! I'm a list maker too! I swear I spend more time making lists though, then actually doing the things I put on them. And the red vine thing is just sad. That is a prefectly tasty snack food!

Oh, Callie. Please don't tag me again. It was too stressful. I had no idea what to say. Check out my blog though. I posted 6 things just for you. :) BTW, are you seriously that grossed out by licorice? I mean come on, really?!?!
