I Got Tagged, So Here Goes...

I was just tagged by my sweet friend, Mandy, and now, I get to tell you 7 random things about myself. But, first, let me tell you about my friend, Mandy. She is an incredible mother of five boys. I am always amazed at all that she is able to accomplish given all that she has on her plate. She's a fabulous photographer, a super patient mom, an encouraging friend, and a godly woman. Always fun to be around, Mandy is someone you love to have around. Oh, and did I mention that she does NOT look like she's had one child, let alone five! NO FAIR! :)
Okay, here goes...

1. In college I worked for intramural sports. It was a great job for me because I got to see tons of friends on a daily basis yet didn't actually have to play the sports. I'm not the most gifted athlete, so it always gave me an "out". I always longed to hang out with my friends on the sidelines and cheer for my sorority or friends' teams. Couldn't do that, though, it was against the rules. Believe me, I tested it and got into trouble.

2. I don't like to stay by myself. I'm such a chicken. Channing rarely has to leave town overnight, and I am SO glad. I would hate having to sleep by myself regularly. It's hard to get quality rest with my tv on. ;)

3. I've been told that when people first meet me, I seem kind of snobby. I promise I'm not. I'm just shy around people I don't know. I struggle making conversation with people I don't know. It's a great flaw that I SO wish would just totally disappear.

4. I work out to Britney Spears music; not the nasty songs, songs like "Piece of Me", "Circus", "Womanizer". I know, I know. My friend, Ashley, makes fun of me for it, but I think it's good for working out. Plus, I figure if she can look that good after all that she's been through, I have some extra motivation.

5. Before I had kids, I was a blonde. I SO miss being blonde, and whenever I see old pictures, I miss it the most. Thing is, it just isn't in the budget. Kids come first, so most times, I look like a bum. I guess I worry more about how they look than myself. Just know, though, that deep inside, I desire to look good. I'm not letting myself go on purpose. :)

6. I struggle with change. I cry when shows end (not like at the end of episode, but at the end of the series). Even if I am not able to watch the shows regularly, I hate to say goodbye. I cry when friends move away, even if I don't get to see them much. I cried when Bush left office because it's a big change. I struggle with change. Next year when Tristan starts school, I'll probably be a complete basket case.

7. I LOVE cucumbers. Seriously, since I've been pregnant, I'm even more addicted than usual. To me, they taste like bland watermelon. LOVE THEM! I totally don't understand how anyone could ruin a perfectly good cucumber with salt, though. Totally befuddles me. :)

8. (I cheated and added an 8th) During labor, I wear socks because I don't want my feet in my doctor's face. I don't know if it's more because I don't like the appearance of my feet or that if I were a doctor, I wouldn't want someone's bare noodle piggies in my face. Don't know, but with both boys, I wore socks. I totally plan to do it with this one too.

Okay, folks that's all. I tag Leisha, Holly, and Michelle. :)
