So, I've been "tagged" by my friend Erica. I'm not exactly sure of the whole tagged thing. Is it like tag, you're it? Some kind of odd cybertag game that someone started? Well, I've decided to change it to "Little Known Facts". So, here are eight little know facts about me:
1. When I am in the car alone I only listen to classical music. When I am cleaning my house, I listen to Peter, Paul, and Mary... if my kids will let me.
2. I think one of my best features is my feet. I like them- I think they're cute. They have a nice shape and look good with nail polish on them. Yeah, you're all going to try to look at my feet now, aren't you?
3. My dream car is a minivan. Yes, a minivan. A Honda Odyssey, preferably. I am nothing but practical and I have three little kids. Need I say more? I lost the battle last year, however, when we bought a new car that would fit all of us before Leah was born. What's the big deal with having an SUV? I live in St. George- there's not much snow here; I'm not a fan of off-roading, so I don't need 4 wheel drive. And the difference in cargo space!! Ahh.... someday I will get my dream car.
4. I hate decorating. I'm not good at it, I don't enjoy it. Once something is up in my house, it stays there because I don't have the energy or the fashion sense to move it. Case in point: I have a wreath hanging on my door that has been there since I moved in. It's cute- very springy. OK, IT'S BEEN THERE SINCE I MOVED IN. How many Christmas seasons have passed and there it hangs. Even my husband has made mention of the fact that it might be nice to have a Christmas wreath hanging in its place during Christmas. So, I finally bought a Christmas wreath... maybe it will make it up on the door this year. Hey, at least I know decorating is not my thing, right?
5. Andrew and I have known each other for 10+ years and we have never danced together.
6. When I am angry, I clean. And, you'd better stay out of my way and not talk to me while I am doing it or you will get an earful. Once I am done cleaning, I usually feel better and can at least talk about whatever is bothering me in a calm, rational tone. However, this does not apply to washing dishes. I like washing dishes whenever because it is time that I can think and not talk to anyone. It's relaxing to me as long as I'm not being rushed through it.
7. I like teaching and speaking in front of people. I've had a lot of practice doing it in my 29 years and it is something that comes easy to me. If I am asked to speak on a certain subject I can almost always start planning my talk in my head immediately. It's a talent, I guess. I'm glad I'm good at something! And, even if a talk doesn't go as planned or a lesson flops, for some reason it doesn't bother me- I move on quickly and know there will be another chance to redeem myself at a later date.
8. I am a sucker for happy endings. I HATE unhappy endings. If I see a movie with a not so desirable ending, I spend hours being angry that I watched the movie, I devise a new ending in my head that better fits what I wanted to happen, and then I never see that movie again. Problem solved.
OK, those are my little known facts. I'm not "tagging" anyone. However, I am requesting little known facts from my mom, my sisters, my sister-in-law, Tracey and Kassie. Remember, this is just a request- you're not "out" if you choose not to play. :)

jinx .... (why did t do that?)
Okay, so I get busy for a few weeks and don't do any blog surfing and you go crazy with your blog! I am so far behind on my reading!! I'm so happy you've finally caught the bug, it will be so fun to keep up on your life this way! I'm sorry to hear about your fish but glad that Alexa's birthday party was so much fun! Well, I better get back to my reading!
I must agree with your last fact...my husband is always irritated with me for it, too. If the ending is bad I am angry and tell everyone I hated the movie and it was awful. Then he goes and tells everyone that the movie was great and I have horrible taste in movies. I don't know which infuriates me more: watching the movie or his comments on my "review"
Cori, Cori, Cori. I can really relate to you on most of those things. I like my feet and think they are cute, especially with a good polish job and a toe ring (although they are getting a little old, just like me); I want a happy ending or forget it, and no violence please; I clean when I am depressed and get the same result as you from it; I also find doing dishes relaxing and don't mind at all (never asked Kay to do it when she came here because she thinks it is a kid chore and she doesn't get them clean);I find public speaking easy as well and don't mind at all. On the other hand, I like decorating, don't want a van (been there, done that), usually listen to church music in the car, and used to love to dance, but that isn't going to happen again, I suspect.
I loved your little known facts. Kind of fun.
Love it! ...hopefully, I will get the chance to add some little known facts about me...last week and this week are crazy busy! :)
By the way, I can't believe you and Andrew haven't danced!! WHAT? Tom and I don't usually dance because he doesn't like it, I"m bad at it and the height difference makes it hard without a chair so it's embarrassing in public, but come on, at least we have suffered through it anyway! And I totally agree with you about happy endings. Have you ever tried to do that with a nightmare? I lay in bed rewriting the ending trying to get myself to calm down... sometimes it works! Thanks for sharing your list!
