2) Post the rules.
3) Share six non-important things / habits / quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people.
5) Make sure the people you tagged KNOW you tagged them by commenting what you did.
Six non-important things about me:
1. Roaches scare the crap out of me. Especially the ones that can fly. GROSS!!!
2. I LOVE to organize stuff. When I was a teacher several of my co-workers came to my room to see how I organized my classroom. The Con.tai.ner Sto.re is like a candy store for me!!
3. I like to sing badly on purpose. I made the Texas All-State choir my junior and senior years in high school, so I can sing, but when I'm in the car I love to sing bad. J hates it!
4. I had the toe nails on my big toes fixed when I was in college because I was constantly getting in-grown toe nails.
5. I have a fetish for pens. Be careful...I just might swipe yours if I like them. I mostly like the fat ones because it's easier to write with since I have arthritic hands. We have pens from all kinds of businesses. I'm sad to say I steal pens.
6. I hate scary movies and shoot-em-ups. I can deal with an occasional suspense thriller, but for the most part I'm a chick-flick and kid movie kind of girl.

Factoids
I was tagged by R&R to tell 8 interesting facts about myself...this might be hard, but I'll try to come up with things that most of you don't know about me.
1. I played softball for 9 years as a kid and was picked up to play on 2 tournament teams after the regular season ended. The first one as a first grader for the "Ladybugs", and the second as an 8th grader for the "Tex-Ans". When I was on the Tex-Ans we won the Metro Tournament and went to the National Tournament in Richland, Washington. And it was there that I broke my left ankle sliding into second base. Three days later we returned to Houston where I had surgery to try and fix my growth plate. Fun times!!!
2. I am the product of a music teacher so I have been singing since I was pretty much able to talk. In high school I tried out for the Texas All-State choir my Soph, Jr, and Sr years, and I made it my Jr and Sr years. The try-outs for the region, area and all-state choirs are actually my fondest memories of high school.
3. I am scared to death of heights. I will ride roller coasters and ride to the top of a needle, but I HATE looking over the side to see how high up I am. I've never gotten sick, but my stomach feels like it's turning flips if I have to look down. Ugh! I just hate heights!!
4. I have a horrible fear that J and I are going to be killed in a car accident. I don't know why I have this fear or where it came from, but every time we get into the car for a long trip I say tons of prayers for protection.
5. I am an organ donor because my dad died while waiting for a heart transplant when I was a sophomore in college. Because of that, when it was time for me to do the persuasive speech in speech class I talked about organ donation. I was so excited that several people in the class filled out organ donation cards after my speech.
6. Growing up I was always overweight. In college I lost 53 pounds and got down to a size 8. I didn't stay in a size 8 for long because I LOVE food. In 2001 I decided that I just couldn't stand to be fat anymore so I worked my butt off and lost 68 pounds. On the day that J and I married I weighed 119 pounds. Unfortunately I've gained it all back because I got lazy and quit working out. Once again I'm to the point where I just can't stand to be the way that I am anymore so I joined the Y last year. I've been working out faithfully for a year and a half, but I have yet to lose much weight. I'm beginning to think that I'm supposed to be overweight. I hate battling my weight...it SUCKS!!! I really wish I could be happy with who I am no matter what I weigh.
7. I hate to drink water. It's like pulling teeth to get me to drink it. I think the only times I've ever craved water was when I was pregnant and when I'm working out. Other than that, it's D.iet Co.ke and Caffeine Free D.iet Co.ke.
8. I'm a girly girl who likes to shop, scrapbook, wear jewelry and buy designer bags. BUT I also LOVE football, volleyball and softball, and sports tend to bring out the tom-boy in me. So sometimes I feel like I don't fit in with the girly girls or the tom-boys. That was always hard for me as a kid.
So now it's your turn Betsy, Chris, and Kim.
In cycle news...just chuggin' along in the 2ww. No thoughts either way...
