Random Facts Tag

I was tagged by Karnop (Jill)...well sort of. She said whoever wants to play can play - so I kind of tagged myself. :)

The rules: Post these 3 rules on your blog.

Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I am terrified of flyswatters. No, I wasn't beat with one as a child. No, I wasn't a fly in a former life. No, my siblings didn't torture me with them as a kid. I have no idea what it is about them. New or old - don't like them. This is not a joke. You chase me with one, I will cry...then punch you in the face!!

2. I like feet. Well, to be safe here, let's just say I don't mind them...I'm not afraid of them. I like to give pedicures. I've even given my brother-in-law, Mitch, and my father-in-law pedicures. That's a good daughter-in-law...don't you think?

3. I DO NOT like to shop. Yes, I'm a girl...and I would even go as far to say that I'm somewhat of a girly-girl. I like clothes, shoes, make-up, spending good money on my hair, etc. But I do not like to physically get out there, walk through 1 or 5 or 10 different stores, riffling through racks of clothes just to find something that's cute and on sale. However, if I know that I need something - say a new pair of jeans or a sweater - I will go out, find it and buy it. If I don't find it right away, I'm turned off and will do without for a few weeks until I feel like trying again. And another HOWEVER - give me a computer and the Internet, and I could do some damage. :) (But when do I even have time for that?!)

4. I'm going to copy Karnop's response here and say that I have not balanced a checkbook in years...or maybe I never have? I still count with my fingers and get a headache trying to figure out the tip at a restaurant. I too, do NOT do numbers.

5. I don't read books (unless they are children's books...and I'm reading them to my children). I have read a few...but that's in my lifetime. And when I do finish a book, like once a year, I'm really proud of myself. So give me a little credit here. :) Oh, and I do like a challenge - so any good ones that are a must-read for a non-reader like myself? (Meaning an easy read, too - hehe!)

6. I hardly cook anymore. Sad, but true. Anyone remember me from my college days? I could whip up almost anything, using random foods that were available, almost anytime. Then all of a sudden, my husband got into the restaurant business and learned so much about food, spices, flavors, etc. I became intimidated in the kitchen. Lost my "mo-jo" if you will, for cooking. Lance is a great cook. And I still do my fair share of preparing dinner...but I just don't have the creative flare anymore. I did sign up for a "cooking class" through a church group...so I'm trying to get inspired that way (in fact went the other night - I'll share some recipes later). And maybe my new kitchen will inspire me...ahh, yes, I think it will. :)

7. Hmmm...7 things about myself - that's a bit much, don't you think? Well, here's a little something fun. I love socks - which I think I've told everyone before. But I do. Fun, colorful ones; soft, comfortable ones. Short ones, long ones...whatever.

So there you have it - there's some random facts about me!



Oh, and who to tag. Lorie, Lacy (unless you participated from Karnop), Lana, Paul and/or Anne, and all my other readers who do not have a blog...meaning you need to get one going! (i.e. Sabry, Erika, Heather H....), and anyone else that reads here! :)
