So, I've been tagged! Kathryn gave me fair warning today, but I still don't know about these games where you have to come up with stuff about yourself that is interesting. I will try my best though. For this game I need to write 6 interesting facts about my self and then tag 6 others and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog. So, if I tag you, you must do the same. Got it? Good!

Tagging - Tanya, Cheryl, Jennilee, Julie (mom), Jessie, and Kim

1. I love egg nog and it is egg nog season - by the way. Once when I was in sixth grade we had to write speeches about things that we love and I wrote and gave a entire speech on the beauty of egg nog. One year for Halloween my mom made me this skeleton costume and my sister, Tanya, wanted to wear it to a Halloween party and I told her that she could if she bought me a quart of egg nog. I hid it in the fridge and drank it all myself. You had to hide things in my house if you wanted anything to last with 7 brothers and sister, ya know! Anyway, loved it then and love it now.

2. I used to sing and dance carrying a cultivator (a gardening tool) accross the BYU football field at least once a week. If I had this gardening tool (basically like a claw on a long pole) I could perform many show tunes and really kick up my heals. I would do round off back handsprings down the sidelines as well. I also used to listen to a Miami Sound Machine tape I found with my friend Monica at work and we would put it on the tape player in the dump truck and park the truck and dance in a field across from the stadium. I am happy to report that the BYU stadium grounds and other sports fields were well taken care of during the years that I worked there!

3. They used to call me Tra-Snake in college. You may wonder why and you will just have to keep on wondering!

4. I still love ska. Once in awhile I will turn on a CD of The Specials, Madness, English Beat, Special Beat, etc. and just skank. Okay, that word doesn't sound too good, but it is a real term for a type of dance that you do to this type of music. In college I used to put on my monkey boots (which I still have) and go to ska concerts. If you don't know what this music is, you are missing out. Talk about a weight loss boogie! Anyhow, I miss my old music ways sometimes. Sometimes I even forget that I have an opinion of what I listen to.

5. Someday I am going back to Italy. That is where Zane and I went on our honeymoon and we wanted to go back there for our 10 year anniversary. Well, ten years came and went (we did go to the Cheesecake Factory though - so close) and we haven't been back. When Zane asked me to marry him it was on the 50 yard line of the BYU football field in the evening and he asked me to go to Italy with him. The only stipulation was that I had to go as his wife. Heck ya - I was all over that. Who wouldn't want to go to Italy? Getting married wasn't so bad either. The city that I really want to go back to is Varenna. It's this quaint little city on Lake Como in the Italian Alps. That's where we were the first night and as Zane was zonked out catching up from major jet lag, I was walking down cobble stone streets and alley ways saying, "Buona Sera" to the little old men on the streets and eating my first gilato. It was magical! The ice cream and the scenery!

6. My favorite stores and catalogs:

Boden
Sundance
The Gap
Banana Republic Outlet
DSW and Off Broadway Shoes
Garnet Hill
Forever 21 (like I am 21!)
Restoration Hardware
Crate and Barrel - when are we going to get one?
IKEA - always take an extra suitcase when traveling to a city with one


Well folks...that's all!
