Tagged

I guess I've been tagged. Thank you Jenni. (That was a sarcastic Thank you) Seven quirks or random things about me. Here it goes....
1. I have very vivid dreams. I woke myself up the other night from my scream. Another time I woke up because I kicked the wall. (I was fighting in my dream)
2. About every six months or so, I start thinking about wanting to start a business, even though I'm not ready. It's not the right time in my life. (I'm going through it right now.) I see an old cool building for sale and think, that would be great for....... I have a number of business plans. Oh, and I already owned a business which I hated, but learned a lot from. Don't ask why I want another one.
3. I can't eat just one cookie. NEVER. Okay, not never. If it doesn't taste good, I can hold back.
Is this over yet?
4. I bought a palm pilot. Thought it would be great. Has alarms and everything. You can even write notes and stuff with the stylus. Didn't last long. I went back to my real planner because I could write in it with pretty ink and it didn't run out of batteries. I have to be able to write without having to scroll down. And have you noticed that your handwritting on those things is terrible, no matter how hard you try?
5. I'm obsessed with books and paper. I love to read, but a blank book is wonderful. So many possibilities. And do you know how many things you can do with paper? Awesome! And of course I worship trees, because guess where paper comes from? (And trees are beautiful)
Almost done!!!
6. I enjoy burping. I hate holding them in. It's so nice just to let it go. My poor kids get to see (and hear) the real me. I try to refrain from burping in front of Steve, but accidents happen. I don't drink rootbeer in public for fear of this bad habit.
7. E-mail is fun and all, but I LOVE getting letters or packages in the mail. Makes my day! (Junk mail, not so much)
And I'm done.

We're Still Alive

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I get really into blogging and then I don't care about it for awhile. Anyway, our life has been pretty busy. Here's our schedual.
Monday...recover from wild weekend. (More like lazy weekend. Nothing gets done, so Monday I get going again.)
Tuesday...Nathan has Speech and Katie has soccer practice
Wednesday.... I work at Artifacts for a couple of hours, Cubs Scouts after school.
Thursday......I have religion class, (Old Testement), Katie has piano, then soccer.
Friday..... I have watercolor class in the morning, Nathan has speech, and hopefully Steve and I get to go out.
Okay, so that doesn't seem like that much, but sometimes, it is.

Steve's brother Brandon and his family came to visit. They were here for a week or so. Their little baby Gage is soo cute. Everywhere I look there are babies or women getting ready to have a baby. Is that just me? or has anyone else noticed too? Then this last week my sister Melissa came to visit with her three little ones. They are lots of fun. I don't know how she does it though.

Steve can't hardly wait for ski season to start. He already got himself a new pair of skiis. In case you didn't know, I gave up on snowboarding and started skiing. I am so much more comfortable on skiis. Love it. Snowboarding is still way cool though. Too bad I sucked at it.
