Yes, this weekend our house grew a little more, Ashely and Graham found a really nice two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. It has a washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave built in, and all only about a year old. The complex has an exercise room, and a heated pool. Alanna is so excited to have her own bathroom and she can't wait to move in to her new room.
Since I've been tagaged by Erica, I've been trying to think of things about me that are quirky and random, so here it goes:
1) I enjoy crossing the days off on the calender, it is very fufilling to see all the appointments or activities successfully completed. Along the same line, I'm a list maker, I love to make the list, then once again, cross off the completed chore or errand. Even if I already completed a certain task, I'll put it on my list, just so I can cross it off!
2) I'm a connisseur of fine french fries, actually, I'm addicted to them, they're like my crack(that's what I tell David). I know they're bad for me, but I love the hot, steamy, salty, goodness of those golden brown potato sticks. McDonalds beats all the rest, hands down.
3) I'm a bathroom reader, I always have a book I'm reading, just no one ever sees me reading them. I love my hour of total, uninterupted time to myself. I have this enormous basket filled with church magazines, word searches, and a variety of magazines along with my latest novel. It's awesome!
4) I can't cook if the counters are cluttered, if the sink has dishes in it, if the rug is askew or if there are any spots on the floor. It doesn't matter that by the end of me cooking, it will look that way, I can't explain it. If I'm going to wash dishes by hand, the left side is the hot soapy side, the right side is for rinsing, and then on to the right counter to dry, isn't that how everyone does it? You would think so, but such is not the case. Ask Aubrey how she does it.
5) I have to sleep by the door, even when we travel. I'm also a left sided sleeper, so sometimes that presents a problem if the bed is turned around and I'm forced to sleep on my right side.
6) I love to read cookbooks. I hate to cook, I like to imagine myself cooking all those yummy things, and "see my family enjoying thoses wonderful recipes", I'll make a menu and even buy the ingredients, but usually don't get around to cooking everything I planned. I have the most bizarre collection of condiments and spices for things I've never made. Maybe when my life settles down and I have more free time, I'll create some fabulous meals.
Since everyone except Jazmine and Jessica has been tagged, that's who I'm tagging. Write something funny or crazy about yourself.
I hope everyone has a fun Thanksgiving. We are cooking the big feast and Ashley and Graham will come for pie, but are going to his family for dinner, and Kris and Jamie are going to see her grandma who has cancer and is sick and her mother for dinner and then come her for pie and the whole gang will spend the night. Jamie and I and whoever else wants to, will go out on Friday morning EARLY!!! April, Damon and Ray and of course Devon will come for dinner and Davind and Aubrey and Alanna will be here. So we'll have 8 for dinner and 18 for pie! Love to you all.
