Tagged...more than you ever want to know about me

My sister-in-law Kristy tagged me. I have felt lately that I need to include more in my blog besides events and pictures since this is a journal so I appreciate the tag.

I have...learned a lot this year.
I fear...that I will die and no one will find out that I did and my kids will be alone all day and Brock will be stuck in his crib.
I always...sleep with my hair down and never on my stomach. Growing up my sisters told me that my hair would fall out if I slept in a ponytail and that I would be flat if I slept on my stomach.
I feel...like I should be finishing my YW lesson instead of blogging.
I hear...Austin dancing in his room to a pirate CD.
I smell...blueberry pancakes. Austin loves them in the morning.
I wish...John didn't have to work today.
I hate...people that don't look at you in the eyes when they talk to you.
I regret...not printing all my pictures. After Brock was born I stopped and now I have 16 months of pictures to print. Other than that, I really don't have regrets.
I love....watching my kids sleep. It a quiet reminder when I look at them that I have been blessed with these spirits to raise and LOVE.
I am...independent. It is my strength and my weakness.
I think...people think the NFL is a lot different than it really is.
I know...the church is true and it makes me happy.
I wonder...why it is so hard for me to share this with my non-member friends that I want to be happy.
I want...to make cookies right now.
I always...have Fiber One for breakfast with Almond Breeze milk.
I am not...fake. If I don't like you, you probably know it. I don't look people in the eye that I don't like. I can't be fake, so I can't do it. Relax, I like pretty much everyone. I try to find the good in people. There are just a handful of people that make it harder than others.
I am like...my mom in a lot of ways. We are drastically different in others. I'm still trying to learn to be as selfless as her.
I believe...that true connections with people are priceless. You can't fake them. There are some people that you meet and you feel like you've know them your whole life. I believe that these rare friends are truly God's gift to us. I have been blessed with friends like these.
I don't always...finish my shampoo and conditioners. I have probably 6 bottles in my shower that have 2 inches left in them. I can't commit to using or throwing it away.
I am happy that...I found a husband who is so much fun.
I win...brownie points with John when I make yummy treats.
I lose...my patience more often than I should.
I never...used to drink soda. Never. I never understood people who craved them. Weird I thought. I always ordered water at restaurants...always. It has become my latest vice. The gratuitous amounts of soda started around the time of the recent sad event in my life. Coincidence, maybe. Who knows. But I need help to get off it. I am getting headaches when I don't drink it.
I need...a soda now. I prefer Diet Dr. Pepper. I would take a Diet Coke. If I'm desperate Diet Pepsi. Yuck.
I listen...to angry music when I run.
I am scared of...the phone. Old news. Still a problem.
I read...lots of blogs. Google reader helps me by letting me know when people update (except private blogs) so I don't have to always check blogs. Thanks for the tip Caryn.

I tag whoever wants to make their blog a little more personable today. Oh and Kimi. We are starting campaign Kimi-Entertain-Me-Start-Blogging.

I loved reading this, and I'm glad I could help make your blog a little more "personal." I feel like we have a lot in common, besides both being married to big, handsome football players, that happen to be brothers:)

Love it. I am currently drinking my 2nd Dr Pepper of the day and wishing I had remembered more when I was at Target.

Google reader is a lifesaver huh? Kinda makes you hate private blogs even more, eh?

Love the post about yourself. I love learning things about people that you would never know...thank you blogging world! I am laughing about the shampoo thing, I do the same thing. I really have about 6 bottles in the shower too! Michael always asks if he should throw them away, and i say no, thinking I will use them, and i NEVER do. I have thought about the death thing too, or just passing out and my kids getting hurt while I am not awake. I am glad I am not alone!

Thanks Christy. I feel like I learned a lot about you, I like when people do tags as lame as I always feel doing them. I LOVE Diet Dr. Pepper and I listen to weird music when I run too. You've been through a lot lately, glad to see that you're pulling through. Hope all continues to go well, keep blogging, I love keeping up with you!

I love it!! You should try a Diet Dr Pepper with a squeeze of fresh limes! Sounds wierd but it is good, it is my "treat" if you will. Diet Coke is still my standard, but as I said, I have a treat drink! It is my crack I admit. I love reading your blog, I think it is because both B and I love you and John so much. I dig the not fakeness. One of your best qualities. Miss you lots!
