(Well, some of you might....but probably not!) This post is the result of being "tagged" almost a month ago. Sorry, (I've been busy!)So here we go...
1- I have a quirk about showering. I shower every morning! I know.. I know - you do too but I shower even if I am going to work out or work in the yard or anything. I really hate the smell of myself. What... you've never noticed my B.O.? Well that is because I always shower in the morning!! I think I got it from my Dad, who always showered in the morning even though he is a farmer and would come home covered in dirt. He always showered twice a day!
2- I LOVE to be home. I love not having to go anywhere and just be home. I would rather stay home then go even on a vacation. Which drives A crazy! My favorite thing to do is sit on the couch in front of a fire and talk to A.
3- I really have a hard time socializing. I think I am a introvert, who was trained to be social. I value the rewards but I always come home from "get-togethers" exhausted. I don't know why. I LOVE people but it is hard to think of something to say and keep conversations going because I am very uncomfortable sitting in SILENCE!! Even with my hubby!
4- I love music and wish to be a songwriter someday! I do have to learn to play the piano and read music but yes. . .SOMEDAY!! PS I have written (and my sister T recorded) one song. If you are interested the song is linked to my blog. The link is Melon Music and it is called "Chelsie's Song". I can't take full credit because it was totally inspired by Chelsie.! And a lady in my ward wrote the accompaniment.
5- I wear sweats and a T shirt every day unless I am going out of the house. I am such an effcient person that I just don't see the point in wearing my good clothes if I am just staying home. (Okay maybe some of you knew that) :)
6- I don't really think about what I look like. I try to be interested but I just don't think anyone really cares either. After I get to know people I don't really think about what they are wearing) I guess that is why I don't hardly wear makeup unless I am "supposed to". Either that or I just am too efficient to waste makeup and makeup remover.:)
7- I am (not to brag) a professional organizer. Well, I don't really get paid but I could! I love to organize ANYTHING!! It is very fulfilling to me and I love having everything in it's place. I have "systems" for everything! And I have figured out how to keep everything in it's place and have 5 kids. (I am still working on the cleaning part though.) you may come to my house and everything will be put away but my toilets will be disgusting and my house won't be dusted. PS I do have a playroom that is not always clean.
8- I don't like to answer the phone. (Okay, most of you know this one) I hate it when you are in the middle of something and the phone rings. I just let the answering machine get it or caller ID. BUT I do call people back. When it is convenient for me. Yeah ... that is selfish but there are so many people who need me ALL the time that I have to pick and choose. I love that the phone doesn't control me when I am reading a book to my children or doing homework or helping with a piano lesson. So if you call me and it's URGENT let a message and tell me and I will call you right back!
9- I am teaching my kids piano. I know I told you that I don't play the piano but I am learning again with my kids. It is so fun. The books pretty much teach it for you and I am getting better too. PLUS it saved $90 a month!
10- Lastly, I am really addicted to blogging and facebook. I love that I can keep in touch with people that I love and still do it with the limited time that I have. I am sure that all of you knew this one!!!
Well there you have it! I am sure you all loved knowing these details SO now I tagged you!!!! Write a comment and tell me where you put your 10 things that no one knows about you! Tag you are IT!!!cc

That was really fun. I didn't know you that well before, but now I feel like we're chums! I always thought that you were an amazing person from those soccer days of long ago.

ReplyDeletei'm SICK... send chicken noodle soup ASAP... ok, thanks. AND- I'm NOT excercising anymore cause i HATE it and I'm eating golden oreos and i'm watching sin tv and thats all.
wow 4 comments!! you're great
ReplyDeleteok. so by the way...i'm not a very good blogging friend. I just don't get on as much as i'd like. So...I'm finally getting on your blog and you've been a blogging buddy for a while now. So i'm a jerk. But i love the family pict! And I have to say that I hate answering the phone too, and a lot of times I don't. I also consider myself a professional organizer. We de-cluttered Mat's families house over the break, and I was in organization heaven :)!
ReplyDeleteMany of these things I really didn't know about you...for instance, I would have NEVER in a million years thought you didn't really enjoy being social..you've always seemed so natural! You are well trained! I also love to organize and I hate answering the phone too. It's because talking on the phone isn't that much fun for me when my kids are screaming or whining for me..Oh and I love the shower thing..you are funny!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! I love that you did that! I learned a lot about you! I do wish I was more like you in a lot of ways! :) I was wondering if your 'oraganized" skills could be rubbed off on me! If you saw the chaos in my house, you would gasp! My husband hates it!
ReplyDeleteTaneil, I loved that blog, excellent idea. I did know most of it except the sweat pants every day and the makeup. You dont' look like you don't wear makeup, lucky. I am going to try to do it soon.
