Tagged by Sammy and maybe Lisa. This is a month late and a dollar short but oh well it is a Friday night and Dave is studying the night away so I am bored. This is the six random or quirky things about myself. Here goes:
1. I am a re arranger. I am ALWAYS rearranging things around the house. I move pictures, paintings, furniture, everything. Dave has just accepted this about me and has stopped complaining if I ever ask him to help move the furniture. But I always say, it is better than me buying new things! Instead of making purchases when you have no mullah, you just do a little rearranging and it feels new. There is my tip of the day.
2. This is definitely quirky. Maybe a little creepy but I like to do my make-up on only one side of my face to see how different I look. Kind of like a before and after thing. I do it maybe once a week. Side one with no make-up and side two with. It is fun. Dave can never guess which side is with make-up. I don't get how could you get that wrong? I never know if it is a compliment or insult. One time I accidentally left the house this way. People at Target probably thought I was a freak.
3. Speaking of freaks, I am a germ freak as well. My hate towards germs has been well documented on this blog but really I hate them! I am a LOT better than I used to be. When Luke was a newborn I drove myself nuts thinking about germs but with a toddler they are inevitable. I mostly hate touching what other people touch like handles, doors, gas pump, signing those magnetic credit card things. I used to always put hand sanitizer on after the sacrament was passed. Oops, that secret it out. I always clorox the grocery cart, I never touch elevator buttons, I bring my own pen and a change of clothes to doctor appointments and the thought of going to a video arcade makes me shudder.
4. One of my very first crushes that I can remember was in first grade. His name was George. He had blue eyes and white blond hair and he was Australian. It was when we were living in Greece and we went to an English speaking Swiss school (random) together. Someone told me during an assembly that he liked me and I was smitten from then on. He gave me a barbie for my birthday!
5. I do like desserts but I would way rather eat seconds of my meal than a dessert any day. I HATE ordering dessert at restaurants. It bugs for some reason. All that waiting and restaurants are always freezing.
6. I am the very worst when it comes to finding my way around. I have no sense of direction. When I first got my license I would end up in the most random places and it was right before the cell phone time so I would drive for hours and hours getting home from new places. One time I stormed in the house late one night getting mad at the dumb train. My family was dying because there is not a train even close to where we lived. Moving to Arizona same thing. Hours of driving in the wrong direction, one thousand u-turns and grumpy phone calls to Dave for help. Next move I am good to go with our brand new Garmin. Hip hip.
I tag whoever hasn't been tagged, which may be no one, but I love reading people's random facts!

What we miss about SLC...
{OUR FRIENDS}
I loved going out to many lunches and dinners, cabin party at Eliza's, Kate's B-day bash with a real live pony (dang my camera for hiding), planning and finally having Mary's shower, forgetting how old I am when we get together (16 or 26), chatting until midnight every time we get together and thinking that it is only 9 at the latest while the kids are getting so grumpy, catching up, LOVING and helping with each other's kids, forgetting that Addie has baby Rich because he doesn't make a peep, always forgetting that Lize hasn't been married for the past 7 years, wondering where Cara's design skills and beautiful beach chateau came from and so on and so on. To sum it up I love friendships that have lasted 10+ years and how fun and comfortable it always is! Oh, and Dave misses everyone equally. I am serious. Wally, Rex, Luke and Kate relaxing at the cabin.
Mary's girly shower at Cara's. I love mini anything so I was so pleased that we could finally use my mini foods theme. Everyone made great mini's. We had spinach salad in mini parmesan cheese cups, mini chicken pockets, mini cheesecakes, mini cookies, etc.
Cara, Kate, Liza, Rex, Addie, Rich, me.
