Tagged!

I blog in my head every day. Just recently it has been hard to get it on the "page". By the time I end the day (does it ever really end???) I'm just too tired. And the new shows have started so now I'm getting hooked on mindless stuff.

I've been tagged to reveal 7 random things 'bout myself, thanks cous.

1. Since I was just talking about my TV shows, I figured I'd admit a guilty pleasure. The show that I feel most embarrassed about watching is America's Next Top Model. It comes on at 8:00 so Abbie is supposed to be in bed, but if she happens to get out of bed I immediately change the channel. Trying to raise a daughter in this Photoshopped beauty-obsessed culture I don't think I need to explain any further.

2. I wish I was a little more Type A. I would rather be a neat freak than the I-don't-give-a-crap-It-will-still-be-there-tomorrow type that I am most of the time.

3. Once in a while I'll let the kids eat snacks for dinner. Goldfish, cookies, yogurt, pudding...whatever. Especially if Tim is going to be late and I don't want to cook. I've tried to start buying the organic stuff. Doesn't that make it better???

4. I'm going to join a neighborhood Bunko group. We're starting in January. Have no idea how to play, nor do I know anyone in the group very well. But I'm really excited about a regularly scheduled girls' night out on the 3rd Friday of the month!

5. Tim and I want to renew our vows in October 2009. Totally random date. August 24th, 2008 will be our 15th, but he won't be completely done with MBA school until Jan or Feb of 2009. Then can't do anything until Tax Season is over. I'm sorry, but August is just too freakin' hot. (We only picked August because he was home on leave for 2 weeks) So that takes us in to the Fall. Late October, on the terrace at one of the local Yadkin Valley wineries sounds just right to me. Surely much better that the first time at Wedding Chapel By the Sea with no friends or family there. I also don't see a problem with having 2 Anniversary dates :)

6. I need to go work out. Sadly, I've only AVERAGED once a week since the beginning of August.

7. I've been reading one of Dr. Christine Northrop's books. I saw her on Oprah. An M.D. that believes in the mind-body-spirit holistic approach. Interesting. I'm trying to do what I can to make us a healthier family (remember the organic cookies I serve for dinner). At 850+ pages, I haven't done the cover-to-cover thing, I just go to the index and find what I'm looking for. Plus, I can skip over the chapters on fertility and chidbearing, woo-hoo!


Thanks Melynie that was fun. I think over all I must be pretty boring though. It took far too long for me to think of 7 things to say about myself.


Just one more thing...

Abbie is going to do a Flat Stanley project in the next few weeks. We got the info today. They want the kids to mail Stanley on an adventure to friends or family. Even before I found out that I'd been tagged, I was thinking that it would be fun for us to send Flat Stanley to Aunt Melynie's house to visit "Balie, Mkina, and Brook" (as spelled by Abbie on her What I did this Summer paper). Get ready for some company!!
