I'm It!

Tiff tagged me-so here goes...

1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (if you don’t have a blog, email me)
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Ok-My Eight Random Facts...this is difficult...

1. Ice Cream is my FAVORITE food. I could rid myself of all carbs and sugar-and mostly do really limit them during my 3 meals. However, I don't know that I could ever rid myself of ICE CREAM! Blue Bell is my favorite and we eat it every night. My favorite flavors include: Triple Chocolate, Hot Chocolate and Chocolate Chip. Brad eats his in a bowl, but I (and my dad) eat it in a cup with milk on top. Brad will not eat it alone-I on the other hand will but have very STRICT rules - I can only have it ONCE a day and no later than 9:30. This is honestly one reason I work out-otherwise I would probably be 200 lbs!

2. I am a little obsessive about brushing my teeth. This would explain why I am a hygienist, but I never knew that I was OCD about this until college and Tiff's sister Kimberly would come to our dorm room. One day she said, "Everytime I come over here, you are brushing your teeth!" The summer after that semester, I decided to be a hygienist! Thanks Kim!

3. I sleep in a cocoon. I have my "prescription" pillow for my head, a body pillow on the right with the zipper down at the end of the bed, and then another pillow on my left side with the opening at the top by my face. I think it helps absorb all the noise that Brad makes at night. (Although he doesn't admit it, he has been stealing my middle pillow!)

4. I count my steps also! I'm stealing from Tiff on this but I can't go upstairs without doing it-and I too don't realize I do it! I also walk very fast!

5. I have mentioned this before but I have never been to Austin, TX. Very Sad! Stamps in my Passport - but not a single trip down 35 to our State Capitol.

(thinking....thinking...thinking....cheating...getting ideas from Tiff's blog....)

6. OH-I have a freckle on my right palm that is in the shape of a diamond and a matching one on the sole of my left foot. Very interesting I know. But a funny story about this is that my niece, Reid, used to think it was a chocolate chip and would try to pinch it off and eat it. She would do it over and over again...pinch and then try to eat it, pinch then try to eat it...etc...

7. I still watch General Hospital EVERYDAY-unless our stupid DVR is on the fritz-which it is this week-thankfully, we are getting AT&T U-verse in 2 weeks and I won't have this problem.

8. The passenger seat of the car is the "Quiet Seat". It seems that when I get in it - I fall into sleepy quiet mode. I can fall asleep coming home from church or friends houses or especially if we are driving to the lake. Within minutes of getting on the highway-out...And then I always get mad at Brad b/c I say he never wants to talk to me-How can he when I'm asleep? (I NEVER do this in the front seat and it is rare in the backseat.

Well, not so exciting but there are a few. Give me a couple of days and I will work on those...

I will post some CUTE pictures of our friends kids Clare, Henry, Collin and Sarah Kate. We had such a fun time with them last Saturday night.
On an additional note...and correction...I mentioned in a previous blog that we had dinner with some "friends" at MiCocina. Well, not so much...We had dinner with our new BFFs, Sean and Rachel, at LunaDeNoche and had a GREAT time! We talked for hours and I am still begging Sean to give in a plan the Europe trip with us...(I'm trying Rach) Then, last Friday night we had dinner again together at Steak-n-Ale...JUST KIDDING...it was really Outback but since I can't seem to get details right lately...ok-you get the point!

So...for the wrap up...I have to "tag" some people so I will tag only those that I think will ever read my blog...Laura B, Rachel (blogless but you can email me), Shanta, Heather P-if you have computer access yet..., Amy D-it will give you something to blog, Amy M-I know you have some new interesting facts about the land of the Swiss, Cori-I need to know more about you..., and Miranda if you haven't already done this-well-you did 100 so I guess you are exempt! And finally- Lindsey and Alexis-since I seem to think you are prego... Can't wait to read up on y'all!

Ok - I am cracking up at two things. First, that you remembered exactly what I said, (but I admit it sounds exactly like what I would say), secondly that you then decided to be a hygenist. And my favorite one at that! Love you sweet girl!

Lisa Renee said...

Meredith you are too funny. I also have a dark freckle on the bottom of my foot that many people have tried to swipe off!

I feel so validated after reading your confession about GH - I watch every day too!!

Rachel Evans said...

Ha! Glad you got the restaurant right. ;) I'll email you my 8 random facts. I know the suspense is killing you! I love that you eat ice cream every night. I always have to have a little something sweet after I eat dinner.

I like your 8 things about you. It totally made me laugh. The sleepy seat things is my favorite.

Also, my favortie flavors of Blue Bell are Triple Chocolate and Hot Chocolate too! We should eat some together!

Since I am likely the only one who reads this blog who routinely slept in the same room as Brad (sophomore year at ACU), I can attest to the amount of noise that dude makes when he sleeps.
