My 8 Things

I was tagged by my good friend - Classic Mama to post my 8 things you may not know about me. After much thought, here they are:

1. I like to go camping for vacation - now this may depend on your definition of "camping". Mine includes a/c and running water :) My Manda laughs at me all the time because I go camping within like 30 miles of home.. :)

2. I play video games, love to win and conquer my video games.. I can be competitive.. Depending on the game, I can become slightly obsessed until I complete and conquer the entire game (of course this was all pre-baby)

3. I LOVE to do taxes! Yep, that's the Accountant in me.. just love telling people how much they are getting back, not so in love with telling people they owe :(

4. I don't wear skirts, dresses, or open toed shoes.. (well hardly ever - it's definitely a rarity) Also I paint my toe nails, which some find silly since I don't show them often. Thanks Manda!

5. I have OCD when it comes to my work, my desk at work, and certain areas of my house, but other areas I couldn't care less - and it shows!

6. I enjoy washing and detailing my own car, I'm very picky - so I only let certain people detail or wash it.. like Mr. Clean.. he does a fabulous job!! Never been disappointed!! Thanks Mr. Clean!! You Rock!

7. I do not have a green thumb! I am currently keeping 3 plants alive at the same time and I'm in shock! Of course, one of them is in water all the time, so that may be cheating.. and Doreen helps me.. also cheating.. oh well, I don't like to get my hands dirty!

8. I NEVER skipped school.. Not saying I liked High School, but I always thought I'd get caught.. so I didn't do it.. I loved College (both times) and so I never skipped there either.. I know Boring!! :)

9. Okay I know there was only supposed to be 8.. but my Manda reminded me of one more.. my family has what I affectionately call "a Jerry Springer" story. My brother was married, now divorced, and he has 4 kids.. anyway.. my former sister-in-law left my brother, for my Uncle.. yes, you read that right.. my Uncle!! So my brother's kids are in a twisted way a cousin to their father, my former sister-in-law is now my Aunt (I'd never call her that) and the kid's grandmother (my Mom) is also their Aunt.. weird!! That's what I get for living in Lebanon!! haha!

Okay thought of one more sort of - I never touch raw meat!! Needless to say poor Big Guy does a lot of the cooking.. :)

I hope you enjoyed a laugh at my expense.. Sorry it took me so long to update my blog..

Well, I already knew all those things but it sure was funny reading them especially the 9th one, that one makes me laugh every time I hear it!

My husband is an accountant and loves taxes too. We were married when he went to college. He would come home from school and say "guess what I learned in tax class today?!!" (all excited)

Somebody has to do it and thank the Lord it's not me.
