8 Random Facts...

I got tagged by my sweet friend Lindsi...
The Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their 8 things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

8 Random Facts/Habits/Confessions:

1. Did you know that I am double jointed in my elbows? This is always my "default" response when we play "Ice Breaker" games at parties, meetings, etc. The other night I learned that TWO other girls in my bible study possess the same gift. Any others out there?

2. I keep a bag of Tootsie Rolls in the middle console of my car. I've tried almonds, and other healthy snacks; but I always raid the Tootsie Rolls. I justify my binge by telling myself that they are low in calories. However, I read the bag recently and realized that eating 15 exceeds the "Low Cal" serving!

3. If I've made a mistake in my calendar, or even in our check registry I cannot bare to "mark" out the mistake. I grab my BIC White Out and rectify the error. I now even carry one in my purse - I use it all the time!

4. I start and end almost every day the same way. Morning...a Diet Coke, Peanut Butter Zone Bar, and time in front of the computer. Night...remove my eye makeup, wash my face, apply toner, then lotion, brush my teeth, and then apply Burts Bees Chapstick.

5. Every Friday I receive "People". I read the magazine cover to cover that night. Poor Mark will try to talk to me, though I'm in the "zone".

6. I'm horrible at Geography! Ask me about countries, continents - I have no clue. Have you ever seen Jay Leno's "Jay Walking"? I would fail miserably at that game!

7. It's been a while, but Mark and I used to play Jeopardy EVERY night. We both are super competitive and obnoxious during the thirty minutes. He gets really mad when I won't tell him how many points I have - he will pause the game (we record all episodes) and refuse to proceed until I tell him my score.

8. I, like Lindsi, would love to be a writer. The Blog has been such a fun, creative outlet!

Jenny & Mark,

I just got caught up on your blog and decided to post my comments. I know you are dying with anticipation so here goes!
1. The baby's nusery is so cute! We can't wait to one day come visit the 3 of you (or should I say 4 with Katie) and see the rest of the house.
2. You are so tiny! I can't believe your little "bump" hasn't gotten any bigger!
3. I share a couple of your 8 random facts...not the elbows, but I do share your obsession with white out. I can't balance my checkbook without it! In college I would use it on my notes in class. I also receive PEOPLE every Friday and in addition to reading it cover to cover Friday night I have to watch "What not to Wear" while reading my PEOPLE.

Hope you guys are had a good weekend!
