I'm "It"

I've been tagged. I’m not really a non-conformist, but I don’t have interesting answers to give to the questions I’ve been tagged with, so allow me a little literary license.

4 Jobs I've Had:
1. Manager for my dad’s apartments

2. Math tutor

3. Math research assistant

4. Facilitator for BYU’s Mexico Literacy program


4 Things I Do Instead of Going to Bed:
1. Blog and read other blogs

2. Download, organize, and look at pictures from my camera

3. Think of ways to keep Mark up

4. Read addicting books until the wee hours of the morning


4 Most common cravings for this week:

1. Chinese chicken salad

2. Nachos (a Woodbury special)

3. Apple crisp

4. Chocolate, of course. I wouldn't really call this a craving. It's more a standard. My favorite cookie for the week: Oatmeal chocolate chip--Mark makes them perfectly!
No, I’m not pregnant. Ask any of my family: I’ve always been a cravings person. And I’m always happy to go to any lengths to satisfy them!

4 Special Features of my Apartment:
1. Sea green carpet in my bedroom

2. Shared laundry room (with upstairs guys) in between our two bedrooms

3. The washer bubbles up from the drain two times per load

4. There's a door to the outside in our bedroom.


4+ Books I’ve Read Over 15 Times

1. Dora Loves Boots

2. Moo Moo, Brown Cow

3. Summer of the Monkeys

4. The Giver

5. A Murder for Her Majesty

6. The Lives of Christopher Chant/Charmed Life


4 Projects I Can’t Seem to Finish

1. Putting a doorknob on Eliza's bedroom door

2. Finishing my IOU embroidery for my sister-in-law from last Christmas

3. Organizing my front closet

4. Making my own cloth diapers


4 Silly Things I Did in 4th Grade

1. Read every Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley Twins book I could find

2. Got my really big bangs permed

3. Thought white socks were dumb (and insisted on wearing colored socks to match my shirt each day)

4. Instituted a 1-2-3-up-down competition during recess (who could do the longest handstand) for my class


4 Things That Made me Cry

1. Natural childbirth

2. Leaving Indiana

3. Dealing with my 3-year-old today

4. Reading Les Miserables

Janel, you are awesome- and so creative! This was so fun to read, way better than the boring original. Why didn't I think to switch it up? The same reason I can't seem to make anything without a recipe or pattern. . . I'm a "rules" person, I just do what I'm told. You actually think for yourself and make things more exciting! :) Oh, and I loved a Murder for Her Majesty, never knew you read that too! But I only read it once (I'm thinking 5th grade?), and I remember liking it a lot, but I honestly don't remember anything from it right now. Maybe I ought to find it again. I love that we read the same books- even before we knew it! HA!

Kelly, I just wish I could post that I've read Les Mis or other classics more than once...instead of silly, fun children's books, which I still love to read. You probably could, though. How you have time to read on top of all the impressive sewing and cooking you do, I'll never know.

You tagged me? Wow. I might have to go back to the original questions (I know where to find them). I'm like the other Kelly, a "rules" person. Maybe it goes with the name. I'll see what I can come up with that might be interesting. I lead such a boring life as you know. Check my blog in a few days. I'll be busy until Halloween is over. Happy Haunting.

I think for the silly things list you should add dividing up among your friends who got to be what characters from Saved By the Bell. Also, picking a different member of the babysitters club each week and imitating her writing style in your journal. Or maybe hiding ice cream in your sock drawer and letting it melt all over your socks. Dang. Why can't I think up this many funny things for my list?

well, I have been slacking off big time on checking janage's blog. My list will be forthcoming later this week (after my American Heritage test tomorrow).
