I've been tagged....

by Tonya. This means I'm supposed to tell everyone 8 things that you might not know about me. Let's see if I can come up with 8 things to say about myself that aren't common knowledge.


#1. I have never been north of the Mason-Dixon Line, or anywhere close to it for that matter. The northernmost city in the east of the US that I have traveled to is Asheville, NC. The farthest in the center of the nation has been Omaha, NE; and the farthest north on the west coast has been Sacramento,CA.

#2. Sometimes I think I'm Tonya's evil twin. Not evil really, but un-disciplined. We do look enough alike that my husband has to second-guess before he gives me a love pat from behind.

#3. I, too, enjoy doing laundry. I love the warmth and the fresh smell and feeling of accomplishment from doing something for my whole family at the same time. It's like a little treat to myself to only pull out a few items at a time and fold them while the others are still tumbling and staying warm for me. I also buy a different fabric softener scent each time so I don't get used to the scent and not notice it anymore. I just don't seem to be very good at reminding everyone to put away their laundry so the laundry room tends to become a giant closet for the whole family. That's why I can't let myself fold in a different room.

#4. The activity I enjoy most on alone times with my husband is target shooting. I like handguns and he prefers rifles. I just like to keep practicing with my 38 special while he tends to talk to the other men at the shooting range and they all try out each other's guns. Then coffee or dinner afterwards is nice.

#5. I really like to cook and entertain, but I don't like to clean. I'm blessed that most of the time when we have company Paul does the dishes while I get to visit and relax.

#6. I am a fanatic for punctuation. So much that I go overboard sometimes and I start putting in too many commas.

#7. If I go into someones house and the toilet paper is facing the wrong way, I change it for them. Wrong way is facing up and the paper falls behind the roll, right way is when the paper is draped nicely over the top. I especially like it when ladies fold it to a nice little point.

#8. I have to use my cruise control to help me from going too far over the speed limit. Even on small streets. I tend to loose track of the speed and just go as fast as I feel like going.

It has been great getting to know you!
If you ever want to go north let me know... I am from Ohio and know the way quite well!
I have a friend who designed their house around the laundry room, otherwise known as the laundry closet. They stored all their laundry together, saving mom the many footsteps to put laundry away. I'm not sure I like their floor plan, however i love the idea of not having to carry and put the laundry away!

We pretty much stay on pro-biotics. The kids drink keifer (store bought) all the time and Nate and I take Lactobicillus and acidolpholis also. I think it is yeast based problems we have. nate has psoriasois and I have you know whats frequently.

Folks--- The speeding is true! I tried to follow this chick down the road that goes to j. santor's house. I literally could not keep up with her. Plus,she was NOT, driving a race car, she was driving, a Ford Expedition/Excursion- on of the two! (All of the comas are for you DeeAnn. :)

Although I have been to Chicago- I can say from what I have seen you are not missing anything above the Mason Dixon line.

We ARE twins.! I'm undisciplined too!!! I love to put on warm laundry, my gun is a .38 special and I buy different fabric softner every time so I don't get used to the smell. We both love kids and use too many commas. Only you are going to pass me in the kid department if I don't get a move on quick.
