My friend Channon tagged me on her blog . I'm supposed to write 8 things you may not know about me. That's a tough one. I know Ben knows just about every thing, so he doesn't count. My sisters know a lot too so this will be hard. Hmmm...

1. Sometimes I can't take the sound of people chewing. I have to get up and leave the room.

2. I have a fear of the ocean/waves. All though I'm getting better, several years ago, I actually became a certified scuba diver. I still can't believe I did that, I'm such
a chicken.

3. There is one Goo Goo Dolls song I like. Can't remember what it was called. Ben doesn't know that one! He'd make fun of me

4. I wish I could wear red and look good in it.

5. I've decided if I ever go back to school, I would become a financial advisor. (Practical, I know, but if Ben ever dies I want a career that will support me and plus it would
help me to know what to do with my money!)

6. If I weren't being practical, I'd want to become an interior designer.

7. My first job was dressing up as Chuck E. Cheese. (I still have occasional nightmares about working there, kids can be mean!)

8. I see dead people, ok not really, but I can't think of anything else.

So, I found a better version on YouTube of the Ben Stiller episode. The one I posted before had cut off one of the funniest parts. It still makes me laugh every time I see it.

Cheese.

I recently signed up to stop receiving telephone books. They usually just add clutter to my house. I hardly ever use them, I can find the information I want via the internet. Also, I get the bonus karma of saving some trees.

They are trying to sign up 10,000 this week. So I thought I'd try to help.

I saw this years ago, when Elise and Jake were still young enough to watch Sesame Street. It's awesome. I let Claire watch it today. She 's been singing it at the top of her lungs.


Looky Here.

I read this today on swissmiss. Sometimes I wish I lived in NY.

I read this blog entry today. Which linked to this site.

These are my favorites:

Hostess Cupcake (I sooo want this for my next b-day)
Kit Kat
Rolo
Krispy Kreme Doughnut (I'm not a big fan of sprinkle doughnuts, but this is impressive)

I have a new obsession. Design/Art Blogs. I love reading them. They give great ideas, they showcase different artists/designers. I like to look at them and pretend that maybe I could do something like that. I've found a lot of different stores/shops through them. The one bad thing about them, is that I find so much stuff I like, but I am way to poor to buy anything. I have been thinking I should start a notebook or something with ideas/things I see that I like or am inspired by. I think if I ever went back to school, I would study interior design. I love how much you can express yourself through your home enviroment.

Booklogged tagged me to do this history meme. So I guess I'll play.............

1. Go to Wikipedia and type in your birth date only -without the year.

2. List 3 events that occurred that day:(I decided to do 4)

1216 - King John of England lost his crown jewels in The Wash, probably near Fosdyke, perhaps near Sutton Bridge
1773- America's first insane asylum opens for 'Persons of Insane and Disordered Minds' in Virginia
1823 - Charles Macintosh, of Scotland, sells the first raincoat.
1892 - The Pledge of Allegiance is first recited in unison by students in US public schools.

3. List 2 important birthdays:

1968 - Hugh Jackman, Australian actor and singer

4. List 1 death:

1870 - Robert E. Lee, American Confederate general

5. List a holiday or observance:

These are so cute. I saw them on a blog I read.

This is pretty cool. If expensive. There is some other cool stuff on this site.
