You're It.

My friend Mare tagged me in a fun little post so I decided to go ahead with it.  Beware, it is somewhat lengthy.  But you will learn so much about me. :)

1. Post these rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.
5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them.

haha.  Engagements, May 2007

11 Random things:

1. I just spent a lot of time looking through all of our engagement pictures.  I think I look mostly the same but Marcus looks so young to me.
2. I love massages.
3. I could never get enough sleep to feel rested. I'm always tired.
4. My biggest fear in the whole wide world are bees.
5. I am having a hard time getting back into running since having my little baby.  I love running so much but it just hurts now when I do it.  There is always pain somewhere...my shins, knees, thighs...and not just an out of shape pain, but a pain pain.  But I will push through it.
6. I get a bit of anxiety whenever I spend very much money.  Especially if it wasn't very carefully planned out.
7. I hate, hate, hate ketchup, mustard and mayo.
8. I want to cut my hair really, really short.
9. I am so bad at picking favorites. I just stared at so many pictures and couldn't pick one. If you ask me my favorite food, candy bar, vacation place, I will tell you about 5 things, or ask for categories. Or say 'it depends'.
10. I love the weekends, even now that I don't have a job. I love when Marcus is home with us.
11. I like food more than I did before I was pregnant.

Answers to Mare's questions:

1. One item I could not live without is my bed.
2. The best book I have ever read is the Hunger Games.  Does that make me sound totally lame and like I'm a non-reader?  Maybe so but I don't have a good memory so all I can remember is that it is the best book I have read lately.  I always love a fun, easy read. Oh, but The Help was an amazing one that I've read lately too.
3. I am a definitely not an early bird but lately I'm not that much of a night owl either!
4. One trait I want my kids to inherit from me is my ability to not stress about things.  Kidding.  Totally kidding.  This was a hard question!  I don't know.  My brains?
5. My ideal Friday night is going to get a delicious dessert with Marcus and then just hanging out with him, whether at home or doing something we've been wanting to do.  Even running errands, but just having him to myself and doing something fun.
6. My biggest pet peeve is when people sit next to me and just shake their leg or something so rapidly I can feel my whole body vibrating. For a long period of time, like a whole class or meeting at church.
7. If I had $1000 I had to spend in one day I would buy a new wardrobe, buy Marcus some new Toms and probably buy Asher a really expensive darling outfit.
9. I am most proud of graduating from college, running half marathons, and having a healthy pregnancy without complaining too much.
10. My favorite vacation is our trip to Europe.  There were so many crazy, funny, scary, random memories with Marcus that I will never forget.
11. I would definitely rather a pedicure over a manicure!

My 11 questions:

1. If you could be anyone for one day who would you be?
2. Sweet or Salty?
3. What is the hardest thing you have ever done?
4. What is your biggest pet peeve?
5. If you could have any talent and be awesome at it, what would it be?
6. What is your favorite way to relax?
7. What is your favorite college memory?
8. Would you rather cook or clean?
9. If you could only use one item of makeup what would it be?
10. What is your ideal Saturday?
