tagged, i'm it!

1. What is your favorite fictional character from a book or movie? I really like Harry Potter so that's who I'll pick.

2. What are your 3 best physical assets? Ugh...my eyes (even though they don't work very well!), my hair (???), annnnnnd....my smile? But not my teeth, just my smile. Does that even make sense?

3. Name 3 attributes you would be proud to pass on to your children: my musical abilities, my artistic abilities, and my goofyness (we're not sure if it was my goofyness they inherited or Danny's--either way.).

4. Name 3 attributes that you hope not to pass on to your children: my lack of interest in exercise, my shyness (I used to be VERY shy), my bad vision (I just know that one of my kids will end up in glasses someday--it's inevitable.)

5.If you had to give up one of the following things FOREVER, which would you choose?
1. all makeup
2. flat iron/curling iron
3. razors (laser hair removal isn't an option):
Wow...well, I would have to say #2 then. Definitely would be really gross to go without #3, and if I didn't wear make-up I would look like a raccoon.

6. What do you think is your best quality? I'm generally pretty sweet. :o)

7. What is your worst quality? If I've had a long day I can lose patience quickly.

8. What would be a perfect day for you? Spending the whole day somewhere fun with my family.

9. Where is your favorite place you have ever visited? Well, I'm not the most well rounded person so this one's gotta be Disneyland!!

10. Name something you are really good at? Singing.

11. What are you most shallow about? I probably shouldn't say.

12. What is something you're a little bit conceited about: It's nothing about myself, mind you--but Shailey hasn't even started Kindergarten yet and she's an awesome reader, knows her numbers from 1-100 and is doing mental math. (see, I told you I wasn't conceited!)

13. Name 3 things you are embarrassed to admit: I still love to play video games, sometimes I drool when I doze off on the couch, I hate flossing...hate it.

14. Tag 3 people: Mandy, Christy, and Amy.

tagged! a blogger first!

Talented and Gifted...or just Tag
So Emily tagged me and it's the first time I've been tagged since starting a blog. So here goes:

5 Things I was doing 10 years ago:

1. Trying to graduate high school (it's a long story...it involves a year and a half of trying home school and then spending the remaining 2 1/2 years of public high school correcting that decision)

2. Learning to drive (I didn't get my license until I was 19...I know, I know)

3. Involving myself in two different choirs that I LOVED! (Concert Choir and Kaleidoscope...I miss choir!)

4. Dating (Although I look back and wish I had done more group dating)

5. Playing a lot of video games and watching a TON of movies!


5 Things on my to-do list today:

1. Clean my room!

2. Work on curtains for Shailey's and the boys' rooms

3. Figure out what I'll make for dinner tonight before dinner time (I'm so bad with this!!)

4. Read some of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (I started it yesterday and could NOT put it down!!)

5. Get milk at the grocery store (Yes, my life is so exciting and glamorous! Don't you all envy me?)


5 Foods I enjoy:

1. Chocolate!!

2. Pretty much anything with chicken

3. Pretty much any kind of potatoes

4. Breads...I LOVE breads!

5. Junk food...I am a total junk food junkie...it's so bad!

5 Bad habits:

1. Video games (Yes, I still play video games. I love them!)

2. I hate cleaning and I let the house get out of control (I will super clean for a whole day and then get so burned out from that that I won't clean anything for a couple of days...so bad!)

3. I procrastinate WAY too much..

4. I'm always picking and biting at my nails and the dry skin around them (Yuck! It's such a gross habit!! I hate it!)

5. Neglecting myself (I can't be the only mom out there who takes care of her family's needs before her own...and then sometimes doesn't have TIME for her own! Oh the days when I could shower at my leisure...)


5 of my favorite toys:

1. Do my kids count? They are SO much fun!

2. My camera (I LOVE to take pictures of my family!)

3. My computer (I love the internet and my Finale Notebook program)
