My cute friend Lisa tagged me. Here are 6 random facts about me.

The rules:

1. Link to person who has tagged you: Lisa
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Write 6 random things about yourself
4. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog

1. I'm super weird. I have OCD and my house has to be in perfect condition at all times. I can't have anything on the floor in our bedroom. I can't ever have dishes in the sink. Nothing can be out of place. This gets the most annoying for Matt before we go to bed. I have to go around and straighten everything out....this usually takes an extra ten to twenty minutes before we can actually start our normal nightly routines. If I don't do this I won't be able to sleep unless I'm super super tired. Matt knew this about me before we got married, but I don't think he realized how bad it is and how psycho I really am about it. I think it has been a little hard for him (to say the least) to adjust to this quirky habit.

2. I want to have a baby! Is that weird? Don't worry....I'm going to wait. I think I would get pregnant tomorrow if Matt and I had enough money to actually take care of the thing. Also, it might be good to finish school. To sum up...we won't have kids for a long time because we can't afford it and many other reasons of course, but I'm SO excited for the day to come when we feel ready.

3. One of my favorite times of day is getting the mail. Everyday I convince myself that someone has written me a really important letter telling me how much I mean to them. Does it ever happen? No. Why I think that this letter will be in the mail everyday, I have no idea? I guess I'm a note person..I love writing people notes on special occasions. I love that Matt is this way also.

4. I've been keeping a day planner since I was in seventh grade. In the past I've just used the free ones they passed out at school. (the ones attached to your school directory) Since I've been in college, one of my favorite things at the beginning of the school year is to pick out a planner. Once one is selected and purchased I then spend HOURS filling it with birthdays, anniversaries, and draw a colorful picture on the days of each holiday. When I get my syllabuses at school, I fill in when every assignment is due for every class and when all the tests are. I have a different color for every class also, which makes each week look very colorful and fun. On our honeymoon, Matt and I were at the mall and I saw the perfect planner for this school year. It was only June, but knew it would be the one I wanted. It was also on sale for half off!! I was stoked. I then spent half a day filling in all of my birthdays and such things. Matt was a little peeved...it being our honeymoon and all. That was the only planner that I didn't immediately fill in every special event right after purchasing it.

5. I love scary movies. They are probably my favorite movies to go see and the ones I get most excited for. However, I would rather die in the parking lot then step inside a haunted house. Why do these scare me so much and scary movies don't at all? I ask myself that question all the time. Every year I attempt to go to a haunted house thinking I will have gotten over this weird quirk. Every year I then sit in the car and wait for the rest of my party to go through the haunted house without me. The scary men on stilts at the door haunt my dreams.

6. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being with family. I think I get most excited for nights when I know I can relax with Matt or when I know I'm going to see family members. I look forward to them all week. They get the color purple in my planner. (purple is my favorite color pen I own) That color is only assigned to things I am really excited about.

I tag: Marilee, Dru, Chelsea, Erin, Charlee

Oh my word you are so funny! I totally get all the OCD things (house, planner) although I am much lazier 4 kids later. And the haunted house thing makes me giggle. What a woos. It is going to take me a while to come up with quirky things that I have not already written about...

Chelsea said...
