I've been tagged by...Renee & Mindy.
Here's how you play. Once you've been tagged you have to write a blog of ten weird, random things, facts or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose five people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them to be tagged. Don't forget to leave them a comment "You're it!" and tell them to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you. Since you can't tag that person back, let her know when you've posted your blog so she can read your answers.
1. I'm obsessed with blogging. (Like you didn't know, right?)
2. I worry about EVERYTHING! I am definitely NOT one of those people who thinks, "Oh, that will never happen to me." I think it will.
3. We have owned around 10 car seats (infant, convertibles, and boosters.) I just bought Tayvin a convertible car seat and spent hours and hours and hours researching car seats. After taking one back I caved and bought a Britax on sale. I'm sure most of you moms have heard the name. Britax car seats are the best rated car seats in the world, (and the most expensive.) But hey, you can't put a price on your child's safety.
4. I LOVE baby products! I could spend hours in the baby section, even if I don't need anything at all. I DO spend hours online looking at baby stuff, especially when I was pregnant with Tayvin.
5. I am an online information freak. For example, I had trouble nursing Tayvin and I was constantly looking for info on how to fix it. My mom told me I had to stop before I literally drove myself crazy. (This is how the car seat thing was, too.) However, this "issue" led me to Austin's seizure freedom, so it's not all bad.
6. I don't like going shopping, and I have to be in the PERFECT mood to try things on. Maybe I'll enjoy it more when I actually have money to spend. :)
7. I can't pass up a good sale, even if I don't really need what I'm buying. If it's something I may need in the future, and it's 50+% off, I'll buy it. This drives Jeff crazy, however, he ends up buying things at full price. There is a lesson to be learned here. (Yes, I know...this completely contradicts #6. What I should've said is that I don't like clothes shopping.)
8. My favorite clothes in the world are maternity clothes. I want more babies just so I can wear them.
9. Confession. I'm a member of an online "messie" support group to organize my life, where I have learned that I can't just wait to do something until I feel like it.
10. I have this thing with smells and how they connect to memories in an instant. (See previous post, reminiSCENTS.) I could go on and on and on. Most of the time I don't know certain smells will do that until I smell them. The smells that bring back bad memories drive me CRAZY, to the point I have to remove myself (or the smell.)
11. It drives me bonkers when people use incorrect grammar, (particularly not changing the verb tense when using have, a common mistake with most people.) Yes, this is a good trait to have as a teacher, but horrible as a wife with a husband who uses bad grammar. I really have to bite my tongue.
12. Perfect Alignment. No, not so much symmetric necessarily, but all my documents, bulletin boards, etc. must be PERFECTLY aligned and uniformed. For example, take a look at my graduation countdown to the right, it bothers me that it's not perfectly centered, and if it is, it probably means I caved and fixed it.
13. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself after I graduate. (Get a job, I know.) I've been going to school since I was 4, that's 20 years! I'm already planning on getting a second endorsement, and eventually my Master's. I'll either end up with a doctorate or a whole bunch of classes that won't get me anywhere. :)
14. I can't do laundry until all the clothes are separated in baskets. Jeff will just throw all the clothes in the laundry room, which makes it too overwhelming for me.
15. I am a VERY emotional person. Anything can make me cry. I've been known to cry when someone wins a game show. Pathetic I know. I also become emotionally attached to people very quickly.
16. I love the calming feeling after a good cry, maybe that's why I do it so much.
Yes, I know, there's more than 10 things here. I guess now you know more about me than you needed to know.
