Tag...

Sorry I am slow on getting to your tag, Amanda... but I've been busy. Here you go!

JOYS

1. Tyler. He really is my other 1/2. He completes me :). I love him so much.
   
2. Olivia. I never understood why parents thought everything their kids did was so great, but now I know. I never knew how happy I would be being a mom.
3. The rest of my family, and my best friends.
   

FEARS

1. Losing a loved one.
2. My house burning down (I used to have nightmares about this as a kid).
3. Finding someone in my house, like a burglar or maybe even worse... I can't even mention it 'cause it sends shivers down my spine! (This probably stems from my obsession with reality cop shows, CSI, etc).
   

GOALS

1. Set up my new food storage shelves and get it organized.
2. Keep my house clean for longer than one day. At this point a full day would even be nice. And I only have one kid! ARGH.
3. Master the art of cupcake decorating.

CURRENT OBSESSIONS

1. Olivia's "sleep training."
   
2. Cooking/baking. Wendi and I are making a family cook book, but we're in search of new recipes, too. Tyler and Gub laugh at us because we are perfectionists and keep making something until it turns out perfect.
3. Wendi already mentioned this on her post, but since we do everything together, my third obsession is just a bunch of "random projects... burp cloths, baby slings, digital cookbook, binky holders, and an apron class next Wednesday."
4. Can I have 4? If so, couponing would be my 4th obsession. I am addicted.
   

RANDOM/SURPRISING FACTS

1. I sleep folded in half. Yes, that's right. I fall asleep laying at the top of the bed, just like everyone else, but sometime during the middle of the night I sit up and "flop" over. I usually fold my legs up, indian style, and then lay my head on the bed right in front of my legs. No, it doesn't hurt. Yes, sometimes my legs to fall asleep. Yes, I take all the covers with me. Sometimes I wake up and go back to the top of the bed and sleep "normally." No, Tyler didn't freak out when we first got married because I actually watch TV in the same position, do my homework like that, read books like that, etc. so he had seen me do it before. Besides, my whole family warned him of the way I sleep! I find it comfortable. Yes, I'm a freak.
2. Although I love fruits, I actually prefer veggies most of the time.
3. Sometimes when I am sleeping, I hold my arm up in the air and tickle that arm with my other hand. Yes, I am completely asleep when I do it, but I have woken up while doing it a few times. I think some of my sisters do it, too.
