I've been tagged by my sweet sister so I am supposed to tell you 6 random things about me. Most of me is pretty random so this should be easy.

1. I am a trivia nut! I love knowing things that I have no need to know. Mostly movies and stuff but also some history and culture stuff too. And I love putting my skills to the test. I could play that trivia game at Buffalo Wild Wings all night seriously! It's funny the things that I remember though, like I can name all the states (in alphabetical order, no really, there's even a song) and their capitals, but could not tell you when the constitution was written or when the Gettysburg address was given. And I know that Mtv started in 1981, but I didn't know who the Beastie Boys were (don't laugh Krystal). Go figure!

2. I know every word from beginning to end of The Little Mermaid. It must be part of the knowing random stuff thing. And I have performed- to my later embarrassment- on more than one occasion, and no, April, I am not talking about in the pool when we were kids. BUT Kerry knows all the words to Aladdin so we are totally meant to be.

3. I am not crafty. I wish I was, and it is not for lack of trying. I just think that some people have the gift. Unfortunately I am not one of them. My mom tried to teach me...she would just get so frustrated. I want to be crafty. 2 years ago I made Kerry a denim quilt cuz he has always wanted one. It looks great except for the edges which are a huge mess, I don't even know where to start to fix them. So it sits near my sewing machine taunting me laughing at me and my feeble attempt at craftiness. Then I took a knitting class last semester- it was me and a bunch of cute old ladies. I caught on really quick, but I stopped going to classes before I could learn how to take my project off the needles. Which brings me to number...

4. I am not a patient person. I want what I want and I want it now. Dad used to say that when they were handing out patience in heaven I got tired of waiting and got out of line. Actually I don't remember if he said that about me or my mom, but it applies nonetheless. I got married 4 months after Kerry got home from his mission. I had a baby 11 months after that. I quit school with only a semester and a half left to go. If I want to do something I do it, and really pout if I don't get my way.

5. I love lists! I could make lists about anything and everything. My husband teases me that if I spent half as much time doing the stuff on my lists as I spend writing them I would get so much done. But for me the lists are the fun part. That's just the way I roll. Hee hee!

And finally 6. I love being a Mom! It is my favorite thing about life. I love kissing dirty little faces, and holding chubby hands. I love that they think I am the most beautiful, smart, funny person alive (at least for now). I love being there when they accomplish something they have been working towards or when they fail and need a hug. I love how Mommy kisses make anything better. I love seeing their little personalities develop and even seeing a little of myself in each one of them. And I love the perks- how else could I listen to Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana, and Dr. Jean? Or watch disney channel and high school musical all the time? Mostly though, I love the fact that I get to have an impact for good on their lives and I get to be loved by some of the most amazing people I know.

So that's me! Or at least a little about me. I tag Cyndi, Sara, Jeanie, Stephen, Roderick and Krystal (see now you have to get a blog). Tell us 6 random things about yourself.
