I'm it....

Ok, so I know this tagging/blogging thing is just like the chain letters of the 80s and everyone is probably sick of them, but I will go along with this easy one----just six things about myself! I actually am horrible at these kind of things--I always break the chain! (that doesn't count as one of my six!)

1. I worry way too much about large scale things that do not directly effect my life or that I can directly effect. In my analysis of this problem, I have figured out that this comes from my dad who told me once that when he was little he went to bed worried about what kind of bomb could/would hit the U.S.----This kind of thinking is sooo up my alley! I worry about politics, world issues, historical events, possible future events way too much. Ask me if it has done me a lick of good (to use a phrase of my mom's)....NO!
But, in all fairness to my dad, I do not curse this attribute, I'm glad I have it because I think it makes me more sensitive to the world we live in and put more thought into how I look at things.

2. I honestly love people---Nothing intrigues me more than human behavior---I think it is so interesting to see how people live their life and how similar we all really are in the world. This sorta goes along with my first thing because I also worry about people too much!

3. One of my favorite snacks is air popped popcorn with spray butter (great invention!) and garlic salt and parmesan cheese---which leads me to my confession that really think I could live on some type of garlic bread and Mountain Dew---maybe not a healthy life, but nonetheless a happy life!

4. Another favorite thing of mine is a blank white sheet of paper and a great black pen. I have a weird thing about pens--I won't go into the detail of how the ink needs to look, but I love the idea that I can fill the page with lists, doodling, all of my thoughts or whatever I want! I've loved this since I was a child.

5. I love to shop!!! Not a great quality to have when you live in a town that has a drug store, the gas station and tiny grocery store that is a little iffy! So, I get a little too excited when I drive "into town" which actually just means driving anywhere that has a walmart, etc.

6. My favorite time of the day (is NOT the morning!)--is when Julia is home from school and Jack is so happy to see her and Adam is up from a nap and happy. And then about hour after this happy time I really am ready for Aaron to come home! But, nothing gives me more joy than watching my children play together and have little conversations together and when they tell me all about something....oh, I love them so much!

I think the next rule is I'm supposed to tell six other people to do this same thing---but, I don't know that there are six people that blog that actually haven't done this yet---so, if you've already done it, don't worry about breaking the rules! So, my six are: debbie, amanda, melissa, marilyn, melanie, and cricket---cari, i think you already did this, but i would love to hear six more things about you!

Hey!
I found your blog from my mom's. Julia and Jack are so cute! I love those things that they said.

This is Aaron. There are actually only two things about me, total.

1. Aaron is my middle name.
2. Once at a restaurant I used an entire bottle of ketchup in one sitting.
