I've Been Tagged!

My mother tagged me, so I need to type 7 things you might not know about me:

1. The best time in my life ever (well, so far) was when I went to Europe by myself for 11 days back in April 2000. I flew into Frankfort, Germany, and took trains to Berlin, Geneva Switzerland, Venice Italy, and Paris France. I still look through my 1500 pictures on occasion, and feel as though I am almost reliving that time. I was free, single and childless, not much of a care in the world. Now that I am married with child, I am SOOOOO grateful I had that opportunity to take such an incredible trip with no worries.

2. I hate the word "fart". Ugh, just typing it makes me sick. I prefer the word "toot". I refer to it as the "f word" and won't even let Ella say it. And I have Johnny trained to saying toot as well. I am good :)

3. I am terrible at following through, but am extremely good at intending to do so. I usually don't get birthday cards out, or emails written back, but I do think about doing it, and I fully intend to..... but it usually doesn't happen.

4. When I was 16, I sang kareoke in the middle of the mall in a 1950's beetle car for a few prizes. ALL by myself...... to this day and age, I don't know what on earth posessed me, and I still get a bit red in the face thinking about it. I sang "We Can Work It Out", by the Beatles. I believe my mom still has the cassette recording somewhere. Oh, and did I mention it was broadcast on live radio??

5. I love coupons! I have been into coupon clipping for the past 3 months and am pretty well stocked on shampoo, body washes, toothpastes, and deodrants until the next century thanks to CVS. Tonight at the grocery store, my total was $205 before coupons, and after coupons, it went down to $109 (because triple coupons this week- weeeee!). Coupons rock!

6. I shamefully admit I LOVE the song "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf. I have it on my Ipod, and have to control myself from lipsynching too hard in public *insert embarissed face here*

7. I have more online friends then I do in-real life friends. And I have alot of in-real life friends that I met online!
