Since I have been tagged by both Amy and Britain, I feel I should probably go ahead and participate. I am supposed to list 6 things about myself. So here goes.

#1. I would much rather spend money on something for my house or something that will last than on food or even clothes for myself. I also don't seem to have a problem spending money on kids clothes since it seems they always need them. Why is it so hard to justify buying clothes for myself?

#2. My favorite drink is water, and always has been. I have never been a big pop drinker, or a fan of consuming calories from a liquid, but recently Amy introduced me to the calorie free world of diet coke and I have to say I have grown to like it. I still don't buy it and usually order water when we eat out, but every now and then I really want a diet coke.

#3. So since these things are supposed to be unknown facts about myself, I guess I have to say that I used to be a crafty person and fed off having a project to work on. Since we moved that has all changed. I still buy stuff to do, because I can't resist but I feel that sometimes when I have a moment to myself I would rather just sit and think and do nothing. Not very productive, but it is what it is. Kids are a project in themselves right? I have 4 cross stitches, a baby quilt, several baby blankets, a Christmas stocking, playroom drapes, frames to paint and mat, a thought jar, a vinyl board, and probably other projects, just waiting to be finished or started.

#4. My biggest fear. This is a weird one that not many people probably know. I don't even like talking about it and often have strange, disturbing dreams about it. I have no idea where it started. I would absolutely hate to lose a limb. Something about it just really terrifies me.

#5. I would much rather be cold than hot. I just do not like being hot. It makes me so testy and crabby. I do like experiencing both at the same time. For example I love sitting over a heater vent with a blanket to trap the warm air and eating a bowl of ice cream or drinking hot chocolate after coming in from a day in the snow.

#6. Somewhere I have always dreamed of going is New Zealand. My fascination started in Junior High when I saw some pictures of the mountains there. I have never given up the idea of going there some day and hiking those lush green mountains. Luckily Brent would like to go there too, albeit different reasons. I am okay with him going off and hunting while I find a great yoga instructor and then we reconvene to go hiking and all that. Doesn't it sound like the ideal vacation?

Wow, I did it. So I am now supposed to tag 6 people, so here you are. Krystal, Shanda, Jeana, Chrissy, Heidi, Kirsten. Good luck!
