I was tagged by Whimsy at the creamery a little more than a few days ago! I am supposed to list 7 random things about myself. A friend recently told me I needed to take more time for myself and I think this might be her way of getting me to do this! So here it goes.....



1.I can't stand clutter. It drives me insane! I feel like screaming! Especially when the house is messy and I need to clean but my kitchen is a disaster. I don't know why but if my kitchen is a mess I can't make myself clean up the rest of the house until it is clean. I feel overwhelmed and end up just sitting there doing nothing. Eventually I convince myself I am going to do the dishes and I gain momentum for the rest of the house!



2.I am not your typical house wife! My poor husband can attest to this. I hate to cook but enjoy an occasional bake fest. Now instead of seriously asking what's for dinner, my husband will ask what I am going to make for dinner and laugh. I am glad he is so good natured about it! I always said I was going to marry a chef! (He really isn't a chef but he is a dang good cook!)



3.Ok this one is a strange one.......I have naturally curly hair. Most of you know this but what you don't know is that the older I get the curlier my hair gets! Even some white hair that is trying to sneak its way in there is curly.



4.I love to read. I always have. I especially enjoy biographies from the 1500, 1600's. Reading is very relaxing. I have read so many books. When I was little and my brother and I were in trouble and grounded to our rooms we would throw our books back and forth between each others room to read. We weren't allowed to talk and our rooms were directly across from one another. I had more books than he did so he was always asking for another one! He must have read my Little House on The Prairie series 5 or 6 times! He'll probably kill me when he reads this! Sorry Geoff but those were the funnest days even though we were in trouble alot!



5.I love to ski. I was introduced to it in junior high. I haven't been able to ski since then and every year I tell husband I want a pair of ski's but he's not listening! Men what are we going to do with them!?!



6.I love snow. I love the snowball fights we used to get into when we were little. I miss tiny snowballs being stuck to the dogs legs and feet and then laughing at the hysterically funny way they walked into the house! I miss trudging up the street to our elementary school hearing the snow crunch under my feet. And I treasure the memories of us sledding down the hills at Sharon Park.



7.My favorite place to be is in the Canyon. It is very peaceful. I love the sights, smells, and sounds. There is a special place called Little Mill Camp Ground. It is in American Fork Canyon in Utah. As a kid every summer was spent there. I remember it taking forever to get everything ready to go. It has a huge rock we named "The sliding Rock" The surface is bumpy yet smooth!. We used to take our old rugs and climb to the top and slide down. Oh Geoff you went through so many pairs of pants! It hurts your bum so bad but the fun out weighs the pain! We have been able to take our kids there once or twice and I am hoping there will be more to come!



So that's a little about me! Now I am supposed to tag 7 other people! So you 7 don't forget to comment on the blogs of those you tag!
