Tag - I'm it. Here goes, Helen.

Helen tagged me, so here goes. I am supposed to share 7 random things about myself and tag some other people. So here goes. 

1. I love to organize. Anything. I am constantly cleaning out drawers, closets, etc and re-ordering them. I like everything to have its place and anything I can't find a place for goes immediately to the garage sale bins in the garage. My clothes are all hanging by type - even my "junk drawer" has small compartments/trays in it that hold the tape, various computer wires,  pens, etc. 

2. I get motion sick at the movie theater. I cannot watch action/adventure flicks without taking dramamine. I left the theater and to lie down on a bench in the lobby during United 93. I spent most of "The Bourne Ultimatum" sitting by a stranger in his 40's with my head in my hands trying not to throw up. 

3. I wish I could sing. I really wish I could sing. I would karoake all the time if I could sing. I always ask Everett if he is going to attend my concerts in Heaven. Since I will be perfected, they should be good - so you can all come, too. Until then, I will continue to make my joyful noise or lip sync.

4. I eat dessert every day - at least once, and it almost always includes chocolate. I should be 500 lbs but I guess chasing my very active toddler keeps the pounds off. I am trying to work on it because if she ever slows down, I think I might swell up :) 

5.  I read extremely fast. I started reading for fun as soon as I could read (at least by the 1st grade) and I seem to have a knack for it. I have read 6 books in the last month. I love to point this talent out to Everett. Sometimes we will read at night, and I always ask him how many pages he read and I have usually read at least twice as much. I think I do this because I can't beat him in anything athletic...

6. My friends with whom I spend the most time are teenagers. I can text message with out looking at the keys. I know all about facebook and I relive someone's boyfriend breaking up with them or some huge fight with the parents almost weekly. I am notified often that my clothes are out of style, I am getting old, or I am acting "like a mom."

7. I cannot swallow pills. I have gotten better but but I often gag just after swallowing them and most of the water I used to take the pill comes up. When I was pregnant, the doctor had to call me in chewable prenatal vitamins. I think I have a small esophagus, but I have been told that "really, you are just acting like a baby"

I tag Leanne, Kendy, and Anisa.

I'm right there with you on #2!! I have to close my eyes at the beginning of UA movies when they do the little roller coaster ride through the movie rules & that snacks are available in the lobby thing. We always have to sit in the back half of the theater & when I was in the sickest point of pregnancy only on the back row. The Bourne movies are the WORST. Glad to know I'm not the only weirdo!
