I've been Tagged Three Times!

I didn't want to do this but I will respond now that I have been tagged by Libby, Heather, and Sarah Cardon. Here goes . . .
1) I didn't used to like to be alone! I was always surrounded by people growing up and then I had six roomates at college and only one bathroom! I got used to being around people all the time! When I married an only child who needs his space I had to figure out how to be alone and I hated it at first. Now, I actually enjoy it when James has school or mutual or basketball and I can put the kids to bed and just relish in the quiet. I usually curl up on the couch and watch some silly show that I wouldn't watch if James was around. Sometimes I stay up way too late just to get it in!

2) You may not believe this but I actually do get tired of talking. Sometimes I choose not to answer the phone at all. That may sound normal to most people but for those of you who know me, you may be surprised.



3) I have recurring dreams that I am back at Ricks on CDT (The dance Company) and I am about to go on stage. I don't remember any of the dances and I have had three kids but everyone is expecting me to know the choreography. I am always terrified! I miss dancing but I have come to terms with never doing it again.



3) James and I plan to take up ballroom and Latin dance! We're just waiting for Mom and Dad to live here so they can babysit!!! LOL

4) I absolutely love trees! It is my #1 criteria in finding a neighborhood to live in. There could be the most beautiful house in the whole world but no trees in the neighborhood and I would rather buy an older house so that I can get the trees. That's why I'm going to build in High Meadow Ranch someday - I can hace both!! Until then, I will have to live vicariously through my parents. I really miss our old oak tree!

5) I could eat out every day for lunch and never get sick of it! I hate lunch at home! I love going out for lunch because then I can get a huge salad or a yummy sanwich or soup that I would never waste my energy at home making for lunch. I would rather eat a home cooked meal for dinner any night but for lunch I'd rather eat out!


6) I love the rain! There is nothing more relaxing to me than an overcast day with the sound of the rain on your windows. I have to admit, rain is a little more threatening in Houston than in Utah. If you have ever witnessed a Texas rain it is like standing under your shower with full pressure! It floods in Texas and we have hurricanes but a little innocent rain, there is nothing better!

  3. I love checking out your blog! I'd have to agree with you about the rain. I think my Washington love for rain has dampened since living here. It can be scary!

  8. I actually learned a few things about you... by the way, I have those same dreams about dance. I was shocked you have the same ones!!! How come no one will teach us the dance right before we go on stage?? They think we remember it, i am always frantic!!! Its a nightmare, really.

  9. I love eating out for lunch too! I totally know what you mean about not making a good salad or sandwich for yourself at home....I just end up eating Tanner's leftover chicken nuggets or something and it gets kinda old.
