I've been TAGGED! (Thanks Sara B.)

Six Random Things about me (habits, traits, or secrets):

1. I am a Christmas FREAK!!! I start listening to Christmas music the second Halloween is over (okay, sometimes even earlier). It is so hard for me to wait till Thanksgiving to start my Christmas decorating. I love everything about this season: the decorations, the music, the smells, the food, the traditions and most important, family!!!!

2. I am so SCARED to have a girl! I feel totally unprepared to be a mom for a girl (don't get me wrong I'm excited too, but scared spitless). I've never been real girly myself - always preferred sports and other guy hobbies(motorcycles, shooting guns, etc.) over Barbie and doing hair and makeup. Ask my mom, she use to call me her other son because I dressed like a boy throughout High School. I hated girly stuff. I feel so sorry for this little girl - how do I do her hair?? HELP! :)

3. I talk TOO MUCH!!! I love to talk! I love talking on the phone to my friends and family. Poor Ragan has to put up with all the minute details of my pathetic life when he just asks if I had a good day. I also talk a lot when I get nervous, like if I don't know someone very well or feel unsure of myself, I just ramble - Ask Ragan about the first time I talked to him...I was a rambling lunatic, and I'm sure that is what he thought too. :) Thank goodness, he looked past that and liked me anyway. Thanks Ragan, I love ya'!!!!

4. I do NOT like my nose! I'm not sure why, but I just don't. I'm so glad that our boys all got Ragan's cute nose, and from the sonogram pics it looks like our little girl will too! YEAH!!!!

5. Here's a secret to share: I still have unpacked boxes sitting in my office (we've lived here for 2-1/2 plus years now). The sad thing is, most of these boxes have not been unpacked since we moved from Flagstaff in January 2003. It literally drives me crazy to sit in here around all the unorganized stuff, but Ragan has assured me that at our next house we will have plenty of bookshelves and filing drawers so that I can be my OCD self and be organized once again. So, for my friends in ABQ, now you know why no one gets a tour of the 2nd floor at our house, I'm too embarassed to show my cluttered office.

6. I HATE to cook. I love to bake anything and everything, but I hate to cook meals!!! I don't like to plan a menu, I really don't like grocery shopping (especially with all 3 boys by myself), I don't like the clean up after everything is done. MOST of all, I hate it when my food doesn't turn out perfect the first time I try a recipe. I hate messing up!!!!

So, there you have it. A few things that you may or may not have known about me.
