I got tagged by two people to play Six Inconsequential Things about myself. (I am very popular, you know). Desirae at Burnt Cookies and Shelley at I Miss My Sanity tagged me. I have no idea what I am going to say about myself, this might take me a week to dream up something. But I will give it a whirl....
Here are the rules:
Link to the person that tagged you
Post the rules in your blog
Share six non-important habits/quirks/things about yourself
Tag 6 random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
1. (habit) I bite my fingernails. Not quite down to the cuticle but they are short. Two of my three kids bite theirs too and it drives me crazy. But what can I say to them, when I do it, too! I want to stop but I just can't. What can I say... I don't smoke, barely drink, don't do drugs...it's my only vice!
2. (quirk) I have to have lotion on me at all times. If I run out and do not have any in my purse, I feel all panicky. I lurvvvve lotion! I use it about 10 times a day on my hands alone. I also lotion up every single morning and night before bed. Did I say I love lotion?!?
3. (quirk) Before I get into bed the covers and the sheets have to be made correctly (as in MY way) otherwise it drives me NUTS! I don't necessarily make my bed everyday but no matter what, before I get into bed, it will be made and tidied up for me to climb in! My husband on the other hand, will sleep with the covers all cockeyed and tangled and just a mess... seriously, what is wrong with him?!?!?
4. (quirk - geesh I have a lot of quirks apparently) When I get to work I have to open all my software applications in a certain order. Otherwise, it drives me crazy (not far to go, obviously). If for some reason, one freezes and I have to close it and then re-open it and it is then out of order, I am all out of whack. (Gawd, I need to get out more.)
5. (habit) I check my email routinely (i.e. obsessively) every day... all day. Very rarely do I go a single day without checking it. It kind of drives me mad (okay I sense a repetitive piece in all of my habits/quirks - just about everything drives me nuts/crazy/mad... hmmmmmm. Something to ponder) to think there might be an email that is waiting for my reply or someone (gasp) has left me a comment on my blog and I haven't seen it yet!
6. (thing about me) I love to text message. I admit it. I would rather text than talk on my phone. Not to brag, but I can text without looking at my phone pad - and I don't have the phone with the texting keypad - No sireeeeee, I text on my telephone pad. However, I do NOT text thousands of messages a month like my 14 year old does, but I have sent about 300 this month!
WOW, that was hard... but I did it. Probably because most of the things about me are consequential :-)
I will tag anyone that would like to participate. If you are having trouble with coming up with a post... then you can consider yourself tagged!
Thanks Desirae and Shelley for the tag!

Christmas Tag
Bia over at La DolceVita was kind enough to include me in a fun Christmas tag. It's an easy one ... list a favorite gift you received as a child, one you received as an adult, and one you would like to receive in the future. So, here goes:
1. My favorite gift as a child was this dance outfit I really, really wanted. I was about 15 and took a lot of dance classes, was on our high school drill team and I also was a student teacher. We did not have a lot of money and it was tight for my mom to pay for dance AND drill team. I taught dance because I loved it but also to help pay for my lessons and costumes. This particular year the dance teacher had several dance outfits, sweatsuits and other extra items for sale during the holiday season. There was this sweat suit I wanted so bad, it was baby blue with pink writing on it... something about dance with dance shoes. I knew we couldn't afford it, it was $40 for both the sweatshirt and sweatpants (and this was 22 years ago!). Well Christmas morning I knew what was in most of my boxes...or at least I thought I did, because my mom let me pick out the clothes I wanted so it would ensure I would like them. I opened up the last box and couldn't for the life of me remember what else I had picked out. Lo and behold in the box was my dance outfit I wanted. My mom bought it for me and hide it so I wouldn't know. I loved that outfit and in fact I still have it in a box downstairs. I can't wear it anymore... 22 years and 3 kids adds just a tad bit of weight, but I love it to this day.
2. My favorite gift as an adult was last years gifts. My husband (fiance last year at Christmas) took my kids shopping for me. My ex-husband had never taken the kids out for me and I had also been single for quite awhile in between. It meant so much to me that he took them to Target and gave them all some money and let them pick up whatever they wanted for me. My oldest bought me a candle set and shower gel and lotion. My middle son bought me a really soft blanket and a necklace. My daughter bought me a candle, a bracelet (which I really liked), and earrings. Although these items weren't pricey or from a fancy store, it meant more to me than any other gifts I have ever received.
3. This year for Christmas I want a day spa package. I have neglected my hair, my feet, my hands and everything else this year. It has been a hectic year with my job, getting married, daily kid stuff and I just haven't taken care of myself much and that is what I want most. Of course in addition to a healthy New Year for my family, a down fall of wealth for us, and World Peace.
I hate tagging specific people on these things, so if you thought this was fun to read and would like to do it yourself, consider yourself tagged! :)

7 Weird Things About Me
I got tagged by stacie to write 7 weird things about me. I will give it my best shot, but there is not much that is weird about me. :)
1. I got married very young. Barely 19 and had my son when I was not quite 20. We didn't date in high school, we were friends that decided to date after graduation. Needless to say, we did get divorced but we remain very good friends to this day.
2. I met my husband at work. We started going to lunch together for many, many, many months, decided to date and one thing lead to another and we will be married 4 months on Friday.
3. I am a homebody. I don't really like socializing and going out and prefer to stay home with my family to that of going out.
4. I am 8 credits away from my BS in accounting and have been for the past 2 years. I really need to just get it done already! Although my job has absolutely nothing to do with accounting, it would be nice to just have it over with.
Whew...this is HARD!
5. I always wanted to be a zoo keeper or a dancer when I was younger. The zoo keeper because I love the big cats the most and dreamt of taking care of them. Dancer because I always took dance, taught dance and loved it.... well I still do.
6. I have lived in the same house for 17 years, which is a long freaking time since I am only mid-thirties!
7. I live in the same small town I grew up in. I have never lived anywhere else.
Well there it is. I think this could be labeled... 7 Most BORING Facts About Another Human Being EVER!!!!!!!!!! If you made it this far... I am really, truly, deeply sorry.

8 Random Things About Me
I have been tagged by valarie and desirae to tell you all 8 random things about me.
Here are the rules. When tagged you must link to the person who tagged you. Then post the rules before your list, and then list 8 random things about yourself. At the end of your post you must tag and link to 8 other people.
1. I started getting gray hair in my early 20's (it runs in my family and I got the lucky gene, my 2 sisters didn't... no envy there, nope). I dye it and highlight it. It sucks.
2. I am a 1st degree black belt and taught tae kwon do for years. I am really not a bad a**, but I guess it could come in handy one day.
3. I hate birds, fish and snakes and not necessarily in that order. Birds scare me, if they fly to close to me I get all panicky. I also get all anxiety ridden if I swim in a lake and envision fish just swimming around waiting to touch my feet or legs...I seriously HATE it. And snakes... I just hate them, keep them far, far away.... or I will scream.
4. I secretly hate my job and long to stay home. I have to work right now but I am secretly plotting to be able to afford to stay home. I will eventually bring this up to my husband after I have stealthily made it feasible and he will be none the wiser.
5. No one I know personally reads my blog.... or for that matter even knows about my blog. It's just for me, all about me. Something I rarely get (if ever.)
6. All of my sisters and myself, all of our first AND middle names start with a "D". My mom was (is) demented. She could never, ever get out names right, EVER. Since they all started with "d". We were even called the cats name some, I think just to mix it up a bit.
7. I love to eat out. I hate to cook, I hate to clean after you cook. I could eat out every single day and I am not kidding. I had a job where I traveled quite a bit for 2 years and ate out every day and night, NEVER got sick of it. (#4 - interferes with this # greatly).
8. I love black licorice. That's black jelly beans, too. You know, the ones nobody wants to eat. I DO! I love them, they are my very favorites. In fact they are really the only jelly beans I truly like.
That about sums it up. I am too nice chicken to tag 8 people, so if you are reading this... consider yourself tagged :)
