Bed Can Wait

a. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
b. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
c. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

I'm copying you Brooke in Irvine...

GOOD:

1. I have always been and will always be in love with Broadway Musicals. Ever since I saw Phantom for the first time when I was a kid, I was hooked. I listen to the soundtracks until I've memorized all lyrics, notes and even the instrumental parts. I only wish that somehow my vocal chords could produce two tunes at once so that I could sing duets like "A Heart Full of Love" and "As Long as You're Mine" all by myself.

2. I thoroughly wash cleaning gloves with soap after wearing them. So what's the point of wearing the gloves?

3. Over the last few years I have gradually changed lanes on the freeway. In high school and college it was nothing but the fast lane. Then after I got married, I drove in the middle lanes. Now, since having kids, it's the slow lane. I know, friends, pick up your jaw off the floor. Megan has slowed down.

4. I shave my legs every day. Even if I don't wash my hair, I still shave my legs. I can't stand the feeling of leg hair especially when I'm cuddling between my flannel sheets at night.

5. I love swimming in mountain lakes. Even more, I love jumping off cliffs into mountain lakes. Don't worry, I don't do it naked or anything, but I totally love it. My favorite place to cliff jump is a little tiny lake in Nor Cal called Cliff Lake (very original, huh). The cliffs aren't dangerously high, but high enough to be exciting.

6. I love to smother people smaller than I am. My poor children are subject to tight squeezes, tickling, kisses and other manner of physical contact (positive physical contact, for all social services employees reading this blog. We don't spank. Hard.) numerous times a day . Whether or not they like I'll never know. I don't really pay attention to their reactions because I'm only satisfying my squeezing needs.



BAD:

1. I can't handle "scary stacks". A term that my mom, grandma and I use, "scary stacks" are loose papers, bills, to do lists, etc that are just lying in piles waiting to be filed, finished, checked off, or paid. If I don't know precisely what papers are in the stack, I go nuts. For this reason I sift through the scary stacks multiple times a day. Am I making sure nothing has been added? Taken away? Who knows. OCD is what I do know.

2. Sometimes I compose hatemail in my head. For example, "To the makers of Tyson Dino Buddies Chicken Nuggets: If you are going to suddenly make new species of dinosaurs into nuggets, could you please make more of the NEW ones than the OLD ones so that my dinosaur-obsessed children won't fight over the NEW dinos? It disrupts our mealtimes to have our children screaming over the new pteradons. Sincerely, Megan".

3. I hate it when the bottoms of my feet touch each other. My loving husband often uses this quirkiness against me when we are going to sleep. He sneaks the bottom of his foot slowly over to the bottom of my foot, then proceeds to rubs his foot against mine. He doesn't know it yet, but that new guest bed that we just put upstairs is actually for him when he feels like doing this.

4. I have this overpowering urge to be different. This eliminates shopping at Old Navy, but Desert Industries and the random cheap-o stores have always come to the rescue. And thus, the many lengths and rainbow of colors that was my hair while attending BYU. Go figure, I finally got married after I decided to look normal again. My favorite part was to watch people watch me. Oh, and my mom and dad showing up at my apartment with blue spiked hair just to make fun of me. That was the cherry on top.

5. I'm a picker. No scab on my body can survive without being picked numerous times. I have this theory that if I were to have a full body scan where the only thing that showed on the scan were scabs, my whole body would virtually be one big scab.

6. I let my kids eat food off of the floor. When presented with the choice to either let the kid eat the germ-laden raisin off the floor, or face a major full body tantrum coupled with screaming over that one lost sheep, I'll take the germs and the bad mom moment, thanks.

So, due to popular demand, I'm not going to tag anyone. But if you want to do it, just leave me a comment that you are!

New Years Goals: Take One

I guess since everyone else is doing it... I will too.

New Years Goals:
1. Do not succumb to peer pressure. Sheesh, that one lasted long didn't it? ;)
2. Try to over-power my evening sweets craving by eating a carrot or apple. Maybe carrot cake or cookies with half applesauce, half butter :)
3. Stop using :) while blogging.
4. Change burnt out light bulbs as soon as they go out. Even if I have to get a ladder.
5. Floss more often (especially before my appointment in March so my dad doesn't think I don't floss:) oops, there goes #3.
6. Shower daily and do not wear same pajamas that I've worn all day and previous night to bed. Yes, I'm a 26-year-old woman, not a 10-year-old boy.
7. Take my make-up off at night.
8. Actually put make-up on so that I can take it off at night.
9. Do not run errands with out brushing teeth.
11. Do not blog while tired.
12. Attempt to control my neat-freakishness.
13. Stop using movies as a babysitter. Oh, but that extra hour of sleep in the morning is delightful!
14. Go to bed earlier so I don't need that extra hour of delightful sleep in the morning.
15. Delegate responsibilities and stop doing everything by myself.
16. Play cars, monsters eating lunch, snakes taking naps and whatever other game the kids are playing even when I really don't want to.
17. Quit being the backseat driver that I am.
18. Be more positive and less sarcastic.
19. Do not cram dishwasher full of dishes just to save a few pennies. They do not get clean.
20. Be more Christlike. This one just sums it all up so I'll stop here.

Sorry about my randomness. I can't help my strange nature. Happy New Year!
