I've Been Tagged

Amanda tagged me so here goes (but I'm kind of an open book so most of it won't be a surprise to most)...

1. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, office supplies, organizational supplies, and gadgets. I could spend hours in Staples and when I see areas that are labeled and with matching/coordinating bins and baskets it makes me very happy.

2. My PC has a name and her name is "Dellilah". It's really a love/hate relationship.

3. I wear shoes - with heels - when I'm cooking or cleaning in the kitchen...I'm sure I'm doing some real damage to other parts of my body but I can't tell you what a difference it makes trying to reach things in the cabinets.

4. I love that when Jason and I got married it was just the two of us alone on the beach. But, if my girls even think of not including me at their weddings I will be so sad.

5. Amanda and I have in common that I was raised Catholic (Catholic school and all) and my husband was raised Church of Christ. We also have in common that I went to a super small school (after Catholic school, starting in 7th grade). I graduated with a class of 70 something.

6. I ran over a domesticated duck (coming home late one night from working at The Limited in high school) and was horrified when I saw the car behind me pass the scene of the crime causing white feathers to fly EVERYWHERE... now imagine me knocking on doors trying to figure out who the duck belonged to because I felt so badly about killing it!

7. I once filed a police report against someone that I think had a foot fetish...this is a crazy (and a little bit embarrassing) story that will keep you in suspense for another time...

Childhood Toys

Mom recently sent me one of these "getting to know your friends" e-mails. Question #34 was "What was your favorite toy owned as a child?" Two of my toys that are at the top of my memory are a blue penguin refrigerator and Peaches 'n Cream Barbie. If only this refrigerator isn't over $100 on eBay, I would own it. Especially with Peyton's love of penguins. Oh, and Peaches 'n Cream Barbie with her iridescent top - I wouldn't enjoy her at all now since peach is one of my least favorite colors! What toys do you remember from your childhood?

Christy Needs

I really need to be out the door, running errands but I made the mistake of checking e-mail and blogworld before I left so here I am...laughing at this from Mitzi's site. Go to Google and type in "____________(your name in the blank) needs".

Here are mine and you will probably laugh! I kid you not, these are four from the first page!
1. Christy needs to blog. (I promise this was number one!)
2. Christy needs a new computer. (Well, with all that blogging, two would be better than one)
3. Christy needs an intervention. (For all the blogging?)
4. Christy needs help. (Again, for all the blogging?)

And a couple more interesting things listed (I only looked at the first two pages):
5. Christy is dying (did someone take my blog away?)
6. Christy needs to breed, breed, breed. (No thanks, I think - and hope - this Christy is a dog).
7. Doug Christ(ie) needs to grow a pair.
8. Christy needs to take a picture of her new socks.
9. Christy needs to take a good long look in the mirror (again with the judging about all the blogging).
10. Seriously - a link that takes you to a place that talks about googling "Christy Needs".

Your turn, what do you need?

My Own Version of an Awards Ceremony.

Thanks Mitzi for this award! I LOVE reading everyone's blogs so it's hard for me to choose who to pass it along to. I have to break it down into my own subcategories:
.

Lifetime Achievement - Lindsay and Mitzi

Both were my inspiration for starting my own blog (mentioned here in my very first post). Who knew that my one blog would turn into three (and be the subject for endless teasing from a certain friend's husband - you know who you are, how about teasing to my face!). They also are so great about leaving comments which I LOVE.

Best New Blogger - Traci

Seriously - I dropped Kendall off, showed her how to get started and I truly think she had it up and going by the time I got home (about a minute away).

.

Congratulations ladies, and feel free to take all the time in the world for your acceptance speeches, I will not cut you off with music!
