Tagged! ... TWICE!

My good friends Michelle and Krista both decided to tag me in the same week so I think I'll just answer both tags in one post. So here goes ... everything you never wanted to know about me.

KRISTA'S TAG ... 7 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME
1.) I can put my foot behind my head. (And take a picture at the same time ... such talent!)

2.) I love to jump! (And I get to jump several times a day because of my job.)
3.) Despite my lack of hips, I can hula hoop with the best of them!
4.) I once sent in an audition tape to be on Survivor.
5.) I have an irrational fear of driving in traffic.
6.) I pick the chocolate chips out of chocolate chip cookies.
7.) The #7 is my lucky number. I was born on 7/27/70 at 12:17pm weighing in at 7lbs, 7oz.

Here's a layout about me and the number 7. [Credits here.]

MICHELLE'S TAG ... (This is a long one!)

Where is your cell phone? On the shelf next to me charging. (BTW - I love my phone. I just got a new Blackberry Curve and now Marty says I am a Blackberry freak.)

Your significant other? Upstairs watching a movie. Here's a picture of us last month.

Your hair? Wet. Just got out of the shower and haven't dried it yet.

Your mother? At her house. I saw her earlier today when I went to pick my son Austin up from her house which is about 25 minutes from mine. He spent the night with her.

Your father? In Cleveland, Ohio. Probably doing something on his sailboat. I wish I could see him more. I saw him last summer when I went to Cleveland for my sister's wedding.

Your favorite thing? Pilates class. I look forward to it every week.

Your dream last night? Last night ... don't remember but the night before, I dreamed that there were hundreds of black spiders in my kitchen.

Your favorite drink? Water. Followed closely by skim milk.

Your dream/goal? To have a happy and healthy family.

The room you’re in? The office at my house.

Your fear? Driving in traffic.

Where do you want to be in 6 years? I want to be right where I am but in 6 years, I will be a little freaked out because we will have 4 kids in high school! So hopefully I will be sitting down with my oldest writing letters to get him some scholarships!

Where were you last night? Went to the Steve Miller Band concert with Marty and some friends. The concert was ok but there was some really good people watching going on!

What you’re not? Confrontational. I like people to like me and generally avoid confrontations.

Muffins? Muffins are great! Love them! But don't eat them very often. I went to Sweet Tomatoes last week and went muffin crazy. Had a strawberry and two blueberry muffins. Like the muffin tops the best. And blueberry is my favorite. The all-time best muffins are blueberry muffins from Tim Hortons.

One of your wish list items? New computer. Mine is about to die. It's so overloaded that it's not even funny. I only have 1 GB left on one hard drive and 5 on the other. May explode soon if I don't at least transfer some stuff to DVD.

Where you grew up? I moved a lot as a kid. But in 3rd grade we moved to the Dallas, Texas area and that is where I call home.

The last thing you did? Went upstairs and kissed the kids goodnight with Marty.

What are you wearing? Black yoga pants and a white orthodontist t-shirt.

Your TV? Upstairs in the media room. It's one of those big, flat ones. This is pretty sad ... I don't know how to work it. If I ever want to watch something and Marty isn't home, I have to ask my son Nick to make it work.

Your pets? 2 dogs (a Corgi/Dachsund mix and a Toy Fox Terrier) and a huge, gray, annoying cat named Eddie. The dogs' names are Happy and Lucky.

Your computer? A Dell Dimension that I got in 2004.

Your life? I have a great life ... a loving family and a business that I enjoy. Lots of friends, too.

Your mood? Good but I am exhausted. It has been the longest day in history and I am ready to sleep!

Missing someone? I miss my grandparents ... all of them. Really sucks that they are all gone.

Your car? Well ... I never blogged about this but I totaled my old Toyota Sequoia. So we got a brand new Yukon XL a few weeks ago. I am in love with my new car!!!

Something you’re not wearing? Um ... can I say this on my blog? ... a bra. I'm about to go to bed!

Favorite store? Target. I don't shop much anymore and Target has everything you need!

Your summer? Summer really freaks me out. I'll be trying to balance my job and having 4 kids at home. We have planned out lots of activities for them and they come to work with me some. And all free time will be spent at the new waterpark that was just built right by our house. In fact, we were just there today.

Like someone? I like the lady who answers the phone at the sandwich shop in my building at work. She knows my voice and know exactly what I want. She's just really nice.

Your favorite color? Black. It matches everything. Here's a layout about my favorite color. [Credits here.]

Last time you laughed? I laughed at something my middle son, Austin said. He's crazy!

Last time you cried? I cried from laughing so hard at "skinny jeans guy" at the Steve Miller concert last night.

Wow ... that was longer than I thought! I can't believe anyone made it to the end. But if you did, here is some music for you. This is Steve Carlson: I'll Remember You
