How About You?

7 Random Things About Me

Ok, so I was tagged a while ago by Patty and I keep meaning to respond, so here goes!

1. My husband accidently proposed to me after we had known each other for only 4 weeks, when a "friend" he trusted told him that "I will miss you" was actually said, "Will you marry me" in Spanish. I almost took him up on the offer right then and there! I'm so glad he asked again later!

2. Jeff and I have been married for 7 years and we have already lived in 10 different homes, 3 different counties and 3 different countries! The longest we have ever lived in one place is a year and a half. Maybe one day I will get to throw my packing boxes away for good!

3. In my lifetime I have visited 12 different countries and lived in 3 different continents!

4. I carry hand soap with me everywhere I go and am a major stickler about washing your hands in public bathrooms. The few times my soap was left at home, I have been known to ask the store clerk to please put some soap in the bathroom so that I can wash my hands! Once in Peru someone actually ran to the store next door and bought me a new bar of soap! I felt bad and paid the man...he just smiled. I know what he was thinking... crazy gringo lady!

5. I like to set my alarm for at least 45 minutes before I get up so that I can hit snooze several times. Problem is, so does my husband, so for almost an hour before getting up, there is a lot of ringing and alarm clock slamming going on! Good thing our son Aaron sleeps like a rock!

6. When I am ready to purchase my groceries, I have to organize them on the conveyer belt first by frozen food, veggies, dairy, etc..., or else it drives me crazy! Weird, huh?

7. I LOVE mint chocolate chip ice cream. I mean,... does ice cream really even come in any other flavors?!!

I am suppose to tag 7 other people...so watch out you guys!! = )

"ta,da,ta,ta,ta....I'm Lovin' It!"

I thought this picture was hilarious. Enjoy your day!

This is a list I found on my friend Patty's blog that I thought was fun. It was neat reading about her day! Copy and paste it on your blog and let other's know a little bit more about what your life looks like!

Outside my window... I see the entrance to our underground parking, the apartment building across from us and the park that belongs to that apartment complex...kind of wish our apartment had a park, too...then again, right now, it would be too cold and rainy for that!

I am thinking...I really need to run to the grocery store to pick up a few things for supper!

I am wearing...my comfy sweats for around the house.aah, love to be comfy!

I am creating...a new entry for my blog and I'm working on some decoupage letters for Aaron's room that spell his name and are going to look so cute!

I am going...to the grocery store and then staying home for the night. We spent all day in Madrid working on paperwork. I'm ready for some r&r at home!

I am reading...my Bible, and a book that a friend of mine let me borrow called The Choice from Nicholas Sparks. Same guy who wrote The Notebook, A Walk to Remember and Message in a Bottle. I think it has been about 7 years since I have read a novel!

I am hoping...to get my grocery list written out for tomorrow and finish up my laundry by tonight..we shall see!

A few plans for the rest of the week...I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, plus church, ladies' meeting and kid's club on Thursday and during this week we will be making more trips into Madrid for paperwork...aaah!

I couldn’t believe this and I thought I should pass it along! Check your driver’s license... Now you can see anyone's driver's license on the Internet, including your own! I just searched for mine and there it was...picture and all! Thanks Homeland Security! Privacy, where is our right to it? I definitely removed mine, and I suggest you all do the same..... Go to the website and check it out. Just enter your name, city and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove". This will remove it from public viewing, but not
from law enforcement. This is all the more reason to get involved in federal and state government and to be an informed voter!

Under Construction

Just wanted to make a note that my blog is currently being worked on and that is why I haven't been making any posts lately! Plus, I have also been working on a very long, never ending "to do" list that takes preference over blogging these days! = (
I am excited about the new look, though! I was looking through some recent pictures the other day and realized how much catching up I have to do! hmm...my "to do" list just got longer...= ) Anyone out there ever managed to actually finish one "to do" list before starting another, please share your secret!! jeje
