I got tagged- AGAIN!

If you have tagged me (you know who you are) you have to understand how hard this is for me. I can never think up things to put down and it takes WAY too much thought on my part! So next time someone wants to tagg me PLEASE think twice. Here are a few facts/habits about me...

-I love reality T.V. you name it and I have seen it. I tried to think up my top three and I just couldn't, I love it all. If I had to say my favorite it would be The Biggest Loser.

-I'm cheap! I love a deal (just ask Greg). Greg thinks I am the cheapest person in the world. For example in Hawaii Greg found a pair of shorts at Tommy Bahama for 100 bucks, I found the exact pair of shorts at Banana Republic on clearance for 21.99. Guess which ones we bought? Yes we bought two pairs at Banana Republic for under 50 bucks! WHAT A DEAL.

-I buy my own gifts! Poor Greg, I really don't allow Greg to buy me gifts. I like to choose my own x-mas, birthday, anniversary,mothers day and Valentines day gifts. After a few years of marriage Greg finally gave in after I returned almost everything he had given me. This has nothing to do with Greg, he has gotten me some GREAT gifts. I just love shopping for myself, I get such great deals and always get exactly what I want. For x-mas I tell him that I have taken care of myself and to not get me anything. I wrap my gifts, put them under the tree and write- To Mom, love Dad. Is this wrong of me, Am I weird? I think Greg has got it Pretty easy, he never has to stress about what to get me because he knows I've already taken care of myself. I mean who better to choose the perfect gift for me besides MY SELF! Oh and another thing Greg never has to do is buy me flowers, I think they are a TOTAL waste of money and they die!

-I have to take a bath everyday. I cannot go a day without a hot, bubble bath. I lock the door, light the candles and read. When on vacation I may get in the tub 2 or more times a day, I'm a little obsessed! The rest of my family has also became a little obsessed with the bubble bath, especially the boys. Greg and Jake have taken all the hot water many times, and caused many family fights. We should have gotten two water heaters!

-I love Popcorn! I eat popcorn everyday. My favorite time to have popcorn is while watching Oprah.

-I hate to leave my house a mess. No matter where I'm going to church, the gym , the grocery store,etc.. I cannot leave without my house being clean. My family has sat out in the car many times waiting for me to vacuum, load the dishwasher, fold the laundry,windex the mirrors, make the beds or whatever else I think needs to be done. There is nothing better than coming home to a clean house.

-I do not know how I ever lived without DVR. I DVR everything, if you ever miss your favorite show call me, chances are I have it recorded!

Well thats all I can think of for now. I tagg, Amber Robertson, Sumar Peake and Brandi Hess.

ALOHA!

After months of getting ready we FINALLY made it! This is what we woke up to every morning, blue skies sunny and warm. It had rained in Maui for three weeks before we got there and we had not one drop!

We were tired after a long day of travel, but were excited to be there


We ate breakfast every morning at the all you can eat buffett, and the scale definately shows it!

Gregs company tennis tournament

Greg won the tournament(200 bucks), I lost this tournament for so many of these people. We played doubles and lets just say I didn't know the ball couldn't bounce twice before you hit it. I know for sure the reason Greg won is because he never had me as his partner! There was also 2nd -6th place and not one person that I was paired with won any money.

Notice there are no action shots of me!

Amber is still my friend because she wasn't paired with me and I didn't lose her any money!

Book Club

This month I read Follow The River, by James Alexander Thom. It was a good book, very sad at times. Mary Ingles was 23, happily married, and pregnant with her third child when Shawnee Indians invaded her peaceful Virginia settlement in 1755 and kidnapped her, leaving behind a bloody massacre. For months they held her captive. But nothing could imprison her spirit. With the rushing Ohio river as her guide, Mary Ingles walked one thousand miles through an untamed wilderness no white women had ever seen. Her story lives on extraordinary testimony to the indomitable strength of one pioneer women who risked her life to return to her own people. After reading this book I realized why I was born in the 70's and not the 1700's, I could have never done what she did! If you read this book let me know what you think. Well I'm off to Hawaii where I will start reading my next book The Sunflower, by Richard Paul Evans.
