I was tagged by my wonderful cousin so now I have to list 6 things most people don't know about me, this actually might be kind of difficult for even myself as I am still trying to figure out that about myself!

1. If the sheets are crooked on the bed during the middle of the night, I will wake up and remake the whole bed. My husband doesn't really like this but I cannot sleep if they are not straight. You know they get those annoying creases in them or more sheet is up at the head then the bottom and stuff comes un-tucked? Not to mention when there are more on one side of the bed than the other. At least hubs loves me, right?

2. I drink soda a lot (I do have goal to quit and a I do limit myself more than I used to), but I don't like the flavor, I only like the bubbles - but most restaurants don't have club soda and if they do they usually mix it with something and then look at you like you are crazy for asking for it straight, what can I say I like it.

3. I don't like chips. I don't like corn chips. I don't like potato chips. I don't like chips. I have tried them all and I don't like them.

4. I really like chocolate. Chocolate pudding, chocolate bars, chocolate brownies. But I don't like chocolate ice cream or chocolate cake, blech.

5. I love journals, all types. I have so many journals. I have 4 blogs to start things off, I have a livejournal - for just random make no sense spouting (usually venting), I have a paper journal that I write my personal journally/diary things it, I have a book journal of books I want to buy and read, I have a church journal that I write things in that I learn on Sundays or at any church outing, I have a "future" journal of things I like and what I want to do when we have kids. Maybe I just have an obsession with cute notebooks and make up journals so I feel justified in buying them, who knows.

6. I love TV. I know that's bad but I do things while watching it: cleaning, writing, reading, etc. But I do I love all types of shows and movies and could spend my whole life watching it (but I do know my limits and I still get things done, I don't want people thinking I don't do anything but watch TV). This is where that treadmill I want comes in handy, then I could be even more productive.

I hope you have learned something about me with this, as that's really all I know about myself (*wink*). So I'm supposed to tag 6 people, I don't even know if I have 6 people I can tag that haven't been tagged yet. So here it goes: Mother, Joel, Julia, Eve, and Rikki.

I've Been Tagged

1. 10 years ago:
I was 14 years old. I had just started competing in Precision Air Rifle and was a freshman in High school, and eager to get my drivers permit.

4. What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
First I would give back to the Lord 10% as Tithing, and then I would give 10% in various philanthropic causes. 10% would be set aside for short-term savings, and another 10% would be set aside into long-term savings (retirement). Out of the remaining 60% I would buy/pay off/or update (depending upon when this sudden wealth came to me) a house, a car, emergency preparedness items/toys, short-term and long term food storage, and all other household items. Then I would invest a large portion of the remaining amount of money. Lastly I would go to some places I have always wanted to go, and do things I have always wanted to do. (I.e. travel to various parts of the world, and take classes to learn certain talents/skills)

Julia- I am stealing your idea as you have already typed it out and it is surprisingly close to mine.

5. 5 places I have lived:
-Miami, Oklahoma
-Sharpsburg, Georgia
-Bay Area, California

7. 5 Random Things people don't know about me:
-I eat my M&M's by colors evenly
-Sometimes I wish I could have pink hair (streaks)
-I am an avid list maker, I make them for everything
-I really like to cook and would like to take a couple of classes on it.
-I can't listen to a complete song, I usually listen to the verses and the chorus/refrain and then I have to change it it is usually about 2 mins into the song.

8. People I tag: Eden, Brittany, Chantelle
