Beth's Tag

Okay Beth, I know you've probably given up on me, but I'm making good on your tag of asking me to post 8 facts/habits about myself. I know I'm now supposed to tag 8 other people, but I'll just leave it open to anyone who wants to comment and tell me a few facts of their own.

1. I love to eat pasta--any kind, with almost any type of sauce. I actually crave carbs more than sweets (even chocolate!).

2. My mood is largely dependant on how much sleep I got the night before. I do not do well when sleep-deprived (making the first three months with a newborn a serious challenge).

3. I swam competitively for 7 years while growing up, spending 3 to 4 hours in the water six days a week. My favorite event was the 100 yard butterfly. I have a secret desire to join an adult swim league when my life actually allows time for such a thing.

4. I love to put on rock music and dance with my kids. Our current favorites for dancing: Stevie Wonder, Beach Boys, and Earth, Wind & Fire.

5. I knew I wanted to marry my husband after our first date.

6. My favorite place to be is at the beach. La Jolla Shores in San Diego is my favorite beach--beautiful views, decent boogie boarding, and hundreds of happy memories.

7. I have a habit of making lists--for everything. I have to feel organized. I am so list dependant that I cannot enter a grocery store without one--my mind will go completely blank and I seriously will not be able to walk out of there with the ingredients for even the simplest dinner.

8. I am deathly afraid of spiders--dumb, I know. But I can't seem to get over it and am probably passing on this phobia to my kids every time I scream at one in our house.

I really think you should join that adult swim league!! I remember you coming home from that first date and saying that it was "so good." You forgot to mention that we had actually spent pretty much every day before that for 6 months hanging out with your future husband-makes sense what Pres. Hinckley says about "hanging out" and marriage, huh? It took an actual date to get you thinking in that direction. Anyway, just thought I'd point that out.

I share #3 with you. And I have the same secret wish. I've always wanted to swim Masters. They have one in Irvine called Nova.

With little ones at home I feel like I hardly have the energy, let alone time. But, I really miss training and working out with a coach.
One day, one day......

If you ever want to join Kirsten & I at 6:30 in the morning you're welcome. [although it's really hard for me to get up that early. not sure how long it will last :-)]
