Seven Random Things

Okay, Christy Peake. I accept your tag. I've been gone so I'm just getting around to it~ so here are my 7 Random things about myself:

1. I'm very quiet in a big group of people (like 5-6 people or more) and then when it's just somewhere between 1-3 people, I can talk their heads off! For example, in Relief Society or some type of class, you won't see me say a word! But poor Ronnie, I can talk his head off.

2. I'm a tad chlosterphobic. Examples: I will not get in a crowded elevator. I will gladly wait 15 min. for another one if I have to. If too many people start to crowd around me, I'll escape where I'm out of the way. When my children all pile on top of me, they are quickly thrown to the floor. (gently) I guess I just need my space.

3. I too, like Christy, my tagger have a hearing loss. I had tubes in my ears when I was younger. I cannot talk on the phone with my left ear. If someone leans over and whispers in that ear, I have NO CLUE what they said. I will turn my head so they can whisper in the right ear.

4. I love to shop. If you call me and I'm not home, most likely I'm shopping! Maybe that's why I loved Chicago so much! :0

5. My biggest social pet peeve... people who interrupt me when I'm talking-- to try to tell me a bigger, better story. It's rude and they're really not listening. Clearly, they're more interested in themselves. LET ME FINISH MY SENTENCE, DANGIT!! Ughhhh!!

6. I am very forgetful. I swear I was never a child... I don't remember hardly anything. I forget dates, times, etc. etc. If it involves a number or the past, I won't remember it!

7. Okay, one last thing: I asked my family about some quirks that I have... here are their responses:
from Briana- I laugh too loud and it is sometimes embarassing for her. (gee, who hasn't ever embarassed their child before?)
from Ronnie- I walk like a duck, especially in heels. (thanks, honey!)
from Brooke- I cry alot. That is true. I cry watching tv almost every night.

Don't Hate Me...

But I just got back from a long weekend at Chicago. FUN... FUN...FUN! Me and 6 other women from church went and ate at great restaurants and shopped until we dropped. We also saw a musical called The Drowsy Chaperone. It was hilarious. We laughed all the way through it. If anyone ever has a chance to see it--- GO!! It's worth it!!
(I forgot my camera, so no pictures until somebody else from our trip sends them to me.)
Now I need a long weekend with my mom, sister, sister in laws and cousins and my favorite aunt. Now THAT would be fun!!

Great weather

I just have to say that I was outside most of the day today because it was a whopping 73 degrees! Yippie!! Last weekend my nephews were literally walking on the frozen pond behind our house (the ice was thin, but it was still frozen). And this week it's been beautiful and warm. All the snow is gone, the pond isn't frozen anymore and the kids are actually outside riding bikes, walking around in flip flops and short sleeves. Halalujah! Spring is coming... finally! As I was weeding out old, dead leaves, I could see new green buds underneath. The excitement was overwhelming. I didn't expect to see green yet!
