Odd!!! Who Me?!?!?

Betheny Tagged me!!!!!!!! She challanged me to beat her 37 weird quirky facts about herself. I thought and thought but could only come up with 23 things about myself. So here it goes ...


1. I have to have the toilet paper coming from the top of the roll. I have been known to change the roll in public bathrooms and even other people’s houses before I will use it.

2. I love going to garage sales! In the summer I go almost every weekend with my mom to get stuff for my classroom.

3. I have become a total Blog Addict. I can spend hours on end just looking through other people’s blogs. If your name is on my list you can almost guarantee I will take a peek at your blog at least once a week

4. HGTV is the best TV station ever. I love watching how they decorate houses. If I had my greatest wish I would love to take an interior design class, own a huge house and have all the money in the world to decorate it.

5. I love wearing scarves, sweaters, and beanies. I think I look awesome in them. I love them so much I want to move to a cold climate just so I can wear them more. California just isn’t working out for me in that aspect.

6. I love beanies so much that when I was at Rick College I had a collection of at least 15 of them. Latter I learned to crochet them. If you ever want one just let me know.

7. I hate to leave the house without makeup on! I don’t put on a lot of it, and I only know how to do it one way, but it gets done every day.

8. One of the main reasons I scrapbook is so that I can buy the cool tools, embellishments, and paper and then organize it all. I am a freak about organizing!!! I love storage containers, labels, cute jars, you name it. I can spend hours reorganizing it or setting it up before I get started on my project. Although I don’t do a lot of scrapbooking I will be sad when I have to move my “station” out to the garage.

9. I know I just said that I love to organize but that doesn’t take away the fact that I am still a “pile person.” I have a really hard time with the things that don’t have an official place in the house. Things get left around the house a lot when I come home from work. I am so lucky to have Tom who is so good at getting rid of piles and keeping them under control.

10. I love Wendy’s kid’s meal cheeseburgers. I am ashamed to say that I go almost once a week. It is one of my greatest vices. I don’t like other fast-food places very much but you get me a mini frosty with my meal and I am hooked for life.

11. I love to travel and go new places. Especially living new places. I have been to Mexico, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Belgium, England, Austria, Chile, 4 Islands in Hawaii, and at least 23 States. I have lived in California, Idaho, Hawaii (3 times), 8 cites in Chile, Utah, and am currently in California. I think our next big trip will be to Canada for the winter Olympics in 2010. And then possibly back to Tom’s mission in New Caledonia (an island by Fiji). If any of you like to travel we are always looking for new travel buddies!

12. I love searching the web for new lesson plans. There is so much out there for preschool and kindergartners.

13. Going along with my love for organization, I also love office supplies. I once worked at Office Max just because I like office supplies so much. It is true I really did!

14. I love making thing on the computer. Fliers, handouts, homework letters, cute signs, movies, PowerPoint’s, you name it.

15. Tom thinks I make my tuna weird. I put in Mayo (sometimes ranch instead) mustard, dill relish, and sometimes a dash of paprika. It is tasty try it some time. It is great on toasted wheat bread.

16. When I was in high school I decided that I really liked The Little Mermaid. I started collecting a few things and then people found out and started buying even more for me. Before I knew it I had a whole collection.

17. Once again back to the organization thing. One of my favorite things to organize is my closet. All my cloths are on matching white hangers and my cloths are all color coded in the order of the rainbow. If that weren’t bad enough I ended up doing it to Tom’s side of the closet too because it bugged me so much.

18. If you really know me then you would know that I can’t wait to have a baby. My mom can’t either. She has been collecting baby cloths for the last 5 or 6 years. I now have 4 bins in my garage just waiting for the special day.

19. One of my wishes or goals I guess you could say is to become a CES speaker. I love giving talks in sacrament. Last year Tom and I got to speak at both Stake Conferences about marriage. It was so much fun.

20. My dream home is one right next to a lake so that I can go kayaking every morning.

21. I love watching really old cheese movies from the 40’s-60’s on AMC. I even own a few.

22. Deep cleaning things is so engulfing to me. Once I get started it is hard to stop. Toothpicks and bleach are some of my favorite cleaning tools.

23. I only own 2 pairs of white socks. All the rest have designs on them and even seasons, Halloween, Christmas, and I just added Valentines ones.

All right if you have made it this far on my list you know one of four things

1. You just realized how odd I truly am
2. You just realized we are similar in many quirky ways
3. You have way too much time on your hands
4. You know me… and you still love me
