Little Known Facts

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. :)
