Tag, I'm it

Me & Christian's brother Abe. Like the wig?

I've been tagged from two different (unrelated) sides. I guess that means they want me to play:

6 Random Things About Me:
  1. My birthday is November 13, only two weeks away. One of the astrology websites says things about Scorpios, about 85 percent of which are completely NOT me, but these were a few things that were very true about me: Colors - The colors of choice for Scorpio are dark red to maroon. The Perfect Gift - The best gifts for a Scorpio are sentimental choices, clothing, and non-fiction books. Likes - Truth, facts, flirtation, long-time friends. Dislikes - The superficial, flattery, shallow people, being taken advantage of.
  2. If I could do whatever I wanted, 24 hours a day, it would be to read books and magazines. (Maybe that is why non-fiction books are good gifts for me.) I could spend hours in the library and/or Borders, browsing and sitting down to read. I also subscribe to 7 or 8 magazines...I've lost count.
  3. I hate talking on the phone. For some reason, my stomach clenches up momentarily when my phone rings. It's not that I don't like talking to you, it's just that I can't see your face and I like being able to read faces while I communicate.
  4. My degree was in French and linguistics, and it's been WAY too long since I have used it. I'm kind of scared to now! Anyone want to come and watch a french movie with me?
  5. When I got married ten years ago, the only thing I knew how to cook (honestly) was a grilled cheese sandwich. I couldn't cook. I barely knew how to boil water. I didn't even know how to hard boil an egg until we had been married for 4 years. Now, I cook every night and try to make it nutritious too.
  6. I stalk all of your blogs. I am having a really fun time putting posts on my blog, checking my e-mail to see if anyone has left a comment, and I love reading up on other people's lives. So if you have one of those dots on your widget that tells you someone from the midwest is checking your blog frequently, it's me!
I'm not good at singling people out by name, so tag, you're it!

Love the hairdo. I think it's a keeper. And I wish I could come watch a French movie with you, I need the practice too!
It was fun to read about your little-known facts...although I already knew many of them. I think you need to come up with some deeper dirt. Maybe Christian can help with that.

You are as bad as James' family, that's why I put that stuff about not being pregnant - his mom basically suggested I should get pregnant again only weeks after Zoe was born. We are finally to the stage where we want to have another one. When it does happen, I'm keeping my lips sealed for as long as I can (no exceptions!). Sorry to disappoint. I love Ethan and Aidan's new pix and I hope you're proud of your shiny bath tub!

Your funny! So how is Abe doing?

Love the wig:). That was fun to read those things. Wish I could watch a French movie with you, not because I would understand one word (cause I wouldn't) but so I could just watch a movie with you! It will be a long time before I see you again probably!

I LOVE the hair!! GREAT!!! I Hate talking on the phone too. I Hate answering the phone - I agree with you, it's not that I don't want to talk to people, it's that I want to do stuff while I am talking and see faces and all. Thanks for sharing stuff about you. I stalk your blog too. I am glad you have one now. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Well I learned a bouple new things about you. I didn't know you hated to talk on the phone. I don't like it much either unless I know that people pretty well and comfortable talking to them alot. I did know about your magazine fetish. Anyway, it was fun to read your little facts. Oh and I love the hair.

I also like to read body language when I chat with someone. I'm more unnerved by facial hair or masks than the phone, but that too sometimes. As you might guess, not a big fan of the whole Santa/clown/mascot/easter bunny/bearded stranger thing.
