Tagged!!

My cute baby sister Mel, tagged me, so here you go:
Favorite person outside of family: I don't play favorites, that wouldn't be nice.

Guilty Pleasure: Scrapping, blogging, and reading. I am pretty boring, aren't I?

Quirks about me: I can't stand writing with a dull pencil, I hate the sound of Styrofoam, and I am really bothered by slackers.

Any regrets in life: Of course! Most recently--I was too exhausted to make dinner on Tuesday so we had oatmeal for dinner. And just last night I got busy and was 10 minutes late picking my neighbor's daughter up from the park after a soccer game. It was starting to get dark, and she was scared. Someone else drove her home, and she was OK, but I felt sooo bad. Oh yah, I've got regrets.

Favorite Charity/cause: LDS church, because I know that 100% of my money will go to a good cause somewhere in the world.

Favorite Blog recently: Pioneer Woman, I am totally addicted.

Any Confessions: I can't remember the last time I cleaned the blinds in my house and I have science experiments growing in my refrigerator. Oh, and I have a package of Oreo's dipped in mint chocolate hiding in my food storage room. I go down and eat one every few days. (Shhh, please don't tell my family.)

If you had to spend $1,000 on yourself, how would you spend it? Organizational supplies for my scrapping room; it really needs to be over-hauled.

Favorite thing about your house: That I have my own scrapbook/craft room. Thanks honey!

Least favorite thing about your house: It is a never ending money pit of projects that need to be done.

One thing you are good at: cooking

One thing you could change about your circumstances: Most of you know this, but I really, really want a baby girl. We are trying to adopt.

Who would you like to meet someday: Joseph and Emma Smith

Who is your real life hero: my parents

What is the hardest part of your job: Potty training! Lucky for me, we are out of that phase for now.

When are you most relaxed: When I am asleep.

When are you most stressed: Usually the week of soccer/baseball/basketball/football sign-ups. My phone rings off the hook and I'm so worried about balancing all the teams, getting coaches, and addressing all of the last minute problems, that my brain shuts down and I turn into a screaming meanie.

What can you not live without: Besides oxygen, water, and food--people. I have been know to start scrapbooking groups, Bunco groups, Book Clubs, play groups, etc. just so I can get out and be with people. I could never live out in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors. I think I would go crazy.

Why do you blog: See this post.

Who are you tagging: No one, because I am so new to this that all the bloggers I know have already been tagged.

Favorite Bible Verse: So, so hard to choose one favorite. But for right now, I am going to say this one:
Isaiah 54: 7,8,& 10--"For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer. . . For the mountains shall depart, and the hill shall be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee"
It is my favorite because of this song. Some of our beautiful young woman sang it on our pioneer trek two years ago and it was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. I still can't read it without thinking of the song and tearing up a little. Amazing!
