Link to the person who has nominated you for the award. http://npoj.blogspot.com/ That's Nancy's blog, but I don't know how to make it say "Nancy" right there. Its a GREAT read for those of you who aren't alrady familliar with Nancy's writing, she's brilliant and funny!!! Check it out!!

Name 7 things about yourself that people might find interesting.

1- I HATE the computer, the camera, the video camera AND my Cell phone. I am not good at any of them. My solution to every problem is: Just get a new one. Start Over. This gets expensive, so I'm usually not in charge of any of those things in our house!

2- I have inherited TERRIBLE telephone ettiquite from my Father. 2 different friends of mine have brought this to my attention in the past month alone (But I have known about it for years). When Dave and I were dating, he'd call me and when we'd get off of the phone he thought he'd done something wrong, or that I was mad at him. I just am not good at transitioning to a closing on the phone, so I usually finish what I have to say and say "Ok gotta go" and hang up...no pleasantries.

3- I cannot make important decisions after 9:30pm. Its ridiculous, ask Dave and my Mom. After 9:30pm, my mind starts to worry and second guess major decisions. Its strange and I have realized that what seems like a priority at that time will be nothing in the morning, EVERY TIME.

4- I love my house. I like my friends homes that are bigger and newer than mine, but I LOVE my house.

5- I worry probably a bit more than I should about everything. I have to try really hard sometimes to keep my mind from wandering to the worst of the "what-ifs"

6- One of my biggest pet-peeves is Moms who buy/do things for their kids because everyone else is. BLAH! Its one thing to be so insecure that you need to try to "keep up with the Jones's" but how about not pushing your children into things that they don't like or that aren't good for them!?! This does NOTHING to improve the lives or futures of children, only makes you look like silly for thinking that motherhood and child-rearing are a competition. GET OVER IT!

...okay off of my soapbox, moving on...

7- I shamelessly brag about my children to anyone who will listen!

SO--- I am "tagging":
